Experience Wichita Cultured in Hospitality Relaxation

Welcome to Our Historic Home

Welcome to the Delano Bed & Breakfast, proudly voted one of Wichita’s favorite bed and breakfasts. Nestled in the heart of Wichita’s historic Delano District, our lovingly restored 1910 home invites you to slow down, relax, and experience the warmth, charm, and hospitality of a simpler time. From the moment you step onto the front porch, you’ll discover a place where history, comfort, and personal touches come together to create a truly memorable stay.

Meet Your Hosts

We’re Keith and Sherri Skupa, and welcoming guests into our home is something we genuinely love. For us, the Delano Bed & Breakfast is more than just a place to stay — it’s a place where friendships are made, stories are shared, and guests are treated like family. Whether you’re looking for conversation and local recommendations or simply a quiet retreat to unwind, we’re here to make your stay exactly what you need it to be. Keith is passionate about Wichita and Kansas history and enjoys sharing fascinating stories about the Delano District and the home’s unique past. Sherri loves creating warm, cozy experiences for guests — from preparing beautifully presented breakfasts to hosting special gatherings and tea parties in the charming Garden Tea Room.

Our Historic Home

Originally built in 1910 by Morris Schollenberger, founder of Wichita’s first automobile dealership, our home has a rich and fascinating history woven into every room. Over the years, the house was lovingly cared for by generations of owners, including Dr. Good, who operated his chiropractic practice from the home. Today, many original features remain beautifully preserved, including restored hardwood floors, rich woodwork, vintage fixtures, period furnishings, and even original wallpaper hidden inside the antique medicine cabinet. Every detail reflects the timeless character and craftsmanship of the early 20th century while offering the comforts modern travelers appreciate. Our guest rooms — the Schollenberger Room and the Good Room — each provide a peaceful retreat with private bathrooms, cozy vintage décor, comfortable bedding, and thoughtful touches designed to help you feel right at home.

A Relaxing & Memorable Stay

Mornings at the Delano Bed & Breakfast begin with a delicious continental breakfast served on vintage dinnerware in our dining room or outdoors in the garden when weather allows. Guests enjoy farm-fresh eggs, fresh fruit, pastries, homemade yogurt, juice, and freshly brewed coffee or tea — all thoughtfully prepared to start your day on a relaxing note. If you arrive in the afternoon, be sure to enjoy our Happy Hour Tea Time from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, where guests are treated to gourmet teas and sweet treats in a cozy and welcoming setting.
