Hotel Wilber is a historic hotel in Wilber, Nebraska. It was built in 1895 as a hotel and gathering place for social events. The builders were Isaac Hickman, Charles Whipple, G. D. Coe, and George Smith. Cultural historian Janet Jeffries Spencer of the Nebraska State Historical Society and architect D. Murphy add,

Built of standard masonry construction, most of the building displays the stilted segmental arch so common for the period. Window and door openings on the front, however, display rough cut stone lintels and sills. Overall emphasis is placed on the front facade which features a two-story columned portico and the unusually well preserved false, pressed-metal gable. A simple pressed metal, bracketed cornice (which is executed in corbelled brick on the rest of the building) completes the decorative motif.
