Features. This fully-renovated 1804 hotel is housed in a four-story gray stucco building with blue and gold trim. Burgundy awnings border all 17 windows and the two storefronts. The lead glass and oak front door, sheltered by a gold marquis, leads to the lobby. The hotel serves complimentary continental breakfasts each morning.

Guestrooms. The James Gettys Hotel B&B offers 11 suites named after businesses that existed in or near the hotel building in the past 200 years.

Expert Tip. The hotel's building has served as an inn, tavern or hotel for almost 200 years, and was used as a hospital for the wounded soldiers during the Battle of Gettysburg. In 1888, the third and fourth floors were added to accommodate veterans as they returned to Gettysburg for the 25th anniversary of the infamous battle.
