Business is booming in Wellsboro, and we look forward to having you stay with us when your business brings you here! Built in 1869, our Historic Penn Wells Hotel, located at 62 Main Street, is an iconic marker of downtown Wellsboro. From the flower boxes that hang along Main Street outside the front lobby windows to the neon red PENN WELLS sign on the roof, you cannot miss it as you enter the gas-lit center of Wellsboro, PA. The interior of the Hotel portrays an elegance of earlier times, with mahogany woodwork, deep colors, and a large wood-burning fireplace in the Lobby. Hotel guests enjoy easy access to our in-Hotel restaurant and lounge. Every guestroom in our Wellsboro Pennsylvania Hotel is unique in some way, but the rooms are notable for their period architectural features, such as high ceilings and mahogany woodwork. Guestrooms and bathrooms tend to be smaller as was the norm in 1869. Our recently renovated Lodge property is located at 4 Main Street in the center of beautiful Wellsboro Pennsylvania. It makes a great location for those traveling to experience the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, the Pine Creek Rail Trail, or a stroll through quaint downtown Wellsboro. Corporate accommodations are limited among Wellsboro Pennsylvania hotels. The Penn Wells Lodge offers the amenities most business travelers desire. Our indoor pool, fitness center, guest laundry services, and travel market are all located within the Lodge. Compared to its sister property the Historic Penn Wells Hotel, the Lodge generally offers guests more spacious rooms with modern amenities. Our Executive Suites contain a living room with a kitchenette, a separate bedroom and a full bath. We also offer a large selection of traditional guest rooms with two Queen beds or two double beds, perfect for a wide range of travelers from families to business travelers to large groups. In addition, our Lodge property offers ADA accessible guestrooms. The Historic Penn Wells Hotel has welcomed visitors to Wellsboro for more than 150 years. The Hotel was constructed in 1869 and opened in 1870 as the Cone House. Initially guests were primarily engaged in commercial pursuits, staying in the Hotel for short stints after arriving by rail or coach, and some taking residence at the Hotel for longer periods as they worked in local industries. With its rebirth as the Penn Wells Hotel in 1926, the Hotel welcomed an increasing number of leisure travelers to the area. Today, the Hotel is a member of the Historic Hotels of America, offering a well-preserved example of architecture from both its 1869 construction and its 1920s era interior finishings, as well as numerous historical items of note, such as the glass bulb American flag that adorns one wall in its elegant lobby and the black and white photos that line the dining room walls. The “Crown Jewel of Pennsylvania” is the Pine Creek Gorge, commonly known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (or, in deference to the slightly more famous one in the American West, “the Little Grand Canyon”). By any name, this scenic gem sits atop the must-see lists of many visitors to Pennsylvania, and it tops the itinerary of many visitors to the Penn Wells Hotel & Lodge, which sits in downtown Wellsboro, just 10 miles from some of the best Pennsylvania Grand Canyon overlooks. It's easy to tell that you’ve arrived in downtown Wellsboro, thanks to the historical and charming gas-lit lampposts that line the main corridor and downtown historic district. Here, the natural beauty of “Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Country” comes together with rich history to give visitors a memorable vacation in a warm and welcoming small town.
