Corporate Retreats
Your Whole Team. One Historic Hotel. Zero Distractions.
Brandt House is a 6-room boutique hotel in Alma, Kansas - available as a full private buyout for small businesses ready to get out of the office and back in the same room.
Not a conference room. The whole hotel.
When you book a mid-week retreat at Brandt House, there are no other guests. No strangers at breakfast. No shared walls with a sales convention down the hall. Your team fills every room. The 24-hour lounge and workstation is yours around the clock - for the early risers, the night owls, and everyone in between. And when the work is done for the day, 402 on Main is right here for a private dinner with the whole crew. That's the full-property buyout experience. A Hampton Inn can't do this.
Perfect for Teams of 6 to 12
Brandt House's 6-room footprint is purpose-built for small companies - big enough to bring everyone, small enough to actually talk to each other. Whether you're planning a strategy sprint, an annual kickoff, or simply need to get your remote team back in the same timezone, a mid-week buyout at Brandt House makes it easy.
We're located in Alma, Kansas - just off I-70, 30 minutes from Manhattan and 30 minutes from Topeka. Easy to get to. Hard to leave.

The Focused Strategy Sprint
The Flint Hills Reset
The Culture + Food Loop
One of the Last Remaining Tallgrass Prairies in the World - in Your Backyard
The Flint Hills of Kansas are not a backdrop. They're an experience. Rolling limestone hills, native grasses, wildlife, and skies that go on longer than you expect. This is one of the few remaining tallgrass prairie ecosystems on earth, and it's right outside your door. For sweeping views closer to home, Mount Mitchell - the highest point in Kansas - is just 10 minutes from where your team will be sleeping.
Brandt House itself was built in 1887 – a limestone hotel that has outlasted railways, depressions, and decades of changing owners. Now fully restored, it's the kind of place that gives a retreat actual meaning. Not just a room block. A place.
Dinner Is Already Handled
402 on Main is Brandt House's onsite bar and event venue - a light-filled space with an indoor bar and lounge, an outdoor patio, and the flexibility to seat your team for a private dinner or spread out for a standing reception. No reservation scrambles. No splitting a bill across 14 people at a random steakhouse.
Please note: 402 on Main doesn't operate a full on-site kitchen. The welcome reception and one group dinner are included and catered for your group. Additional meals, snacks, or drinks beyond what's included can be pre-arranged through outside catering for an added cost - just let us know when you inquire.
