"A revelation to Joseph Smith in January 1841 commanded the Saints to build both the Nauvoo Temple and the Nauvoo House, a hotel that would be 'a delightful habitation for man, and a resting place for the weary traveler' (D&C 124:60). The Saints were not to isolate themselves from the world, but to provide attractive accommodations for strangers and tourists while they 'contemplate the word of the Lord; and the corner-stone I have appointed for Zion' (D&C 124:23)."
