Historic culinary inn
Nineteenth-century Italianate architecture meets cosmopolitan polish, where quiet porch seating looks out over landscaped garden courtyards and contemporary art.
“Anigre wood and contemporary photographs make the basement Bar Louis a slick contrast to the more traditionally decorated dining room and guest rooms upstairs.”

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The renovation halved the number of rooms, thereby doubling their average size, and most of the change is in the bathrooms, which are lavish and spa-like…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tree-lined Broad Street anchors Milford's historic district, with hiking trails and Delaware River access just outside the village.
The rooms
Carrera marble and Pennsylvania bluestone bathrooms feature heated floors and deep clawfoot tubs, paired with down comforters and Italian linens.
Gym and massage
The Health House annex offers therapeutic massage, customized bodywork treatments, and access to workout equipment.
Dogs stay too.
Bar Louis
Underneath the inn, this subterranean lounge pours craft cocktails beneath Christopher Makos's photograph of Andy Warhol and John Lennon.
Restaurant
The Delmonico Room
White-clothed tables, a grand piano, and historic oil paintings set the scene for regional Delaware Valley cooking.
At the table
Diners gather along the covered porch for live music, or retreat into heated garden igloos in winter.
How it began

Founded in 1852 by a Delmonico master chef, the property was continuously operated by his family across 124 years.
