Fodor's Expert Review Lancaster Arts Hotel

This downtown boutique hotel—once a tobacco warehouse in the 1800s—offers sleek rooms furnished with executive desks, flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, and free Wi-Fi; there are also whirlpool tubs in the suites. Local artwork—available for purchase—is everywhere, as are exposed brick, stone, and chestnut beams. The adjoining restaurant and bar, John J. Jeffries, offers a seasonally driven farm-to-table menu that features aged beef from the chef's ranch and butcher shop.
