About the Hotels

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both have everything from elegant downtown hotels to budget hotels on the outskirts of town. While the hotels in Pennsylvania’s medium-sized cities tend to cater more to business travelers, the countryside is all about historic inns—many of which double as wedding venues, luxurious spas, and intimate bed-and-breakfasts. Farm stays are an increasingly popular alternative and offer a glimpse of traditional rural life, but without the hard work.
