Fodor's Expert Review Chestnut Street Inn

Even in a city with no shortage of excellent B&Bs, the Colonial Revival–style Chestnut Street Inn stands out for its location—easy walking distance of downtown, yet tucked away in the quiet, charming Chestnut Hill Historic District. The multilingual innkeepers, Emilie and Arturo, are knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic boosters of their adopted city. Breakfast starts with freshly brewed coffee and might feature Monte Cristo sandwiches, waffles, or pancakes with local blueberries. Port is offered in the afternoon, along with local beers, tea, and fresh-made cookies.
