Ghost Light Inn
"__Why did this hotel catch your attention? __ Next to the famed Bucks County Playhouse in the heart of New Hope, the Ghost Light Inn epitomizes the modern barn aesthetic from its riverfront perch. What's the backstory?It's owned by the same people who own the historic Bucks County Theater (hence the name, which honors the light always left on in every theater). Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?All of the rooms have a ruggedly handsome appeal complete with reclaimed wood paneled walls and platform beds with leather headboards. Book a riverfront room for stellar views from the Juliette balconies. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?No charge. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The in-room mini bar has some unusual elements (a naughty box, for one) and Stella, the in-house restaurant, is run by chef Jose Garces. Breakfast is not included, but walk down the street to the Ferry Market for coffee and fresh pastries. How was the service?It is a boutique inn, so you'll get friendly service with a staff that really knows the best places to go in the area. What type of travelers will you find here?Couples of all ages who want to leave the city, but not their sense of style, behind. What about the neighborhood? What else is around here?Unless you're looking for a twee bed and breakfast, this is by far the best place to stay in New Hope. It's in the heart of it all and you'll likely never need your car once it's parked here. Is there anything you'd change?All of this hipster chic doesn't come cheap. You do have to pay up. Any other hotel features worth noting?Check the schedule for the Playhouse in advance and consider planning your visit around a show. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?Definitely. Ghost Light Inn's stylish digs prove that country charm can be cool and contemporary too." - Nancy DePalma
