The Early Days

In the heart of New Prague, Minnesota, a charming town steeped in history, the Broz Hotel emerged from the hands of craftsmen in 1898. An era defined by horse-drawn carriages and gas lamps, the Broz Hotel stood as a testament to Czechoslovakian architecture, with its intricate hand-painted stained glass windows, rich dark oak interiors, and enduring brick façade. The tin ceilings, installed with meticulous care, still gleam as brightly as they did 125 years ago.  In its early days, this establishment bore witness to the ebb and flow of small-town life, becoming an integral part of the community's fabric.

Aging Gracefully

As time unfolded, the Broz Hotel the famous Schumacher's Restaurant in the 1980s, etching its name in the annals of great mid-western hospitality. Known far and wide for its unparalleled food and warm hospitality,  Schumacher's became a destination for those seeking culinary delights and a welcoming atmosphere. It was an era of decadence and culinary excellence, where the hotel became a hub for both locals and visitors alike. The echoes of laughter and the clinking of glasses resonated through its halls, creating memories that lingered long after the guests departed.
