Empire House Hotel  

In the riverside heart of Rising Sun, a short walk from the Ohio River and a nearby waterpark. This small casino guesthouse sits in the city center and is minutes from local casinos and a golf course. Pet-friendly and with free on-site parking, it’s a convenient base for short trips.

Small and intimate — just six air-conditioned rooms that feel simple and practical. Rooms include kitchenettes or common-area kitchen access, flat-screen TVs with cable, private bathrooms with showers, hair dryers and basic toiletries. Expect a relaxed, no-frills vibe and limited front-desk hours rather than 24-hour reception.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected in guestrooms and public areas. There’s a garden to stroll and easy access to riverside walks, a nearby waterpark and golfing. Free self-parking is available onsite for guests.

Microwave and refrigerator available in common areas. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking make short business stays or road-trip stopovers simple and efficient.

An on-site restaurant serves guests for convenient meals. You’ll also find a popular nearby Mexican spot for local flavor and casual dining within walking distance.
