3 Best Hotels in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

By the river in the heart of town, this luxe rustic-chic boutique hotel notches up New Hope's lodging scene with modern rooms and a restaurant and bar (Stella) overlooking the water. Earthen-tone neutrals and textured finishes—a wood-lined wall, patterned carpet, metal and leather furnishings—and large bathrooms with double sinks and pebble tile in the showers make the inn an escape from New Hope's bustle but still relate to the river location. A refrigerator, coffeemaker, robes and slippers, and Italian linens are some amenities; a few rooms have Juliet balconies. Each room has a ghost light, referring to the theatrical tradition of leaving a pole with a single lightbulb on when a theater is not occupied, for safety and also so that any ghosts can perform. A sister property a block away, the Carriage House, has two rooms and a suite; you check in at the Ghost Light if you stay there.

Established in 1727, the Logan once accommodated passengers riding the ferry to Lambertville, and today the thoroughly modern inn has updated older rooms and a wing of rooms added in 2021, as well as expanded dining and drinking areas that appeal to today's upscale visitors. George Washington is said to have stayed here at least five times—it's hard to imagine what he would think of the people eating on the expansive patio and the shoppers who stroll past this inn smack-dab in the busiest part of town. The 22 newer rooms in the annex use pops of color and a mix of retro and modern accent pieces; the 16 rooms in the historic building are less expensive, generally a bit smaller, and more traditionally decorated. Some rooms have river views. Besides the Landmark Tavern, a large modern American restaurant with windows overlooking Main Street, the inn has a bar (Good + Plenty) and the plush, speakeasy-like Whiskey Lounge. Also part of the Logan Inn campus is the next-door Mansion Inn, in a renovated Victorian building, with eight rooms open only on weekends (at this writing) and Anzu Social (an Asian restaurant); a spa is scheduled to open in mid-2026. 

The luxurious, built-from-scratch River House raised the bar for New Hope lodgings, including price-wise, filling a storied New Hope site (Chez Odette, Odette Myrtil's cabaret; later Odette's restaurant) by the Delaware Canal and the Delaware River and offering heart-lifting river views along with lovely rooms. The plush, modern guest rooms are individually decorated using six color palettes, and they include original art, upholstered headboards, Frette sheets, and colorful accent pillows; bathrooms are spalike but do not have tubs. Balconies in many are a plus. There's a piano bar by a stone fireplace, and the sleek Odette's restaurant focuses on seafood and steak. Alfresco dining in the restaurant is available in season, but the top-level ROOF bar is for hotel guests and members only. The hotel includes ample spaces for parties, weddings, and meetings, which may affect the experience of guests not involved in these functions. Parking for guests is $20 a night.
