The Galena Hotel, originally known as the Fox River House, is a historic hotel located in Aurora, Illinois. Built in 1862, it is the oldest hotel still standing in the city, with a rich history dating back to the 19th century.

Over the years, the hotel has undergone various name changes and ownership transitions, but its iconic four-story structure with locally fired brick and limestone remains a prominent landmark in Aurora. Designated as a National Register of Historic Places site in 1976, the Galena Hotel continues to offer a glimpse into the past while providing a unique lodging experience for visitors.
