This spot is pure charm in a recently restored circa-1750 bed and breakfast. Family owned and operated, the Shippen Way Inn's guestrooms are decorated in a colonial motif. The gardens and the reception room with fireplace are ideal places to wind down after touring the adjacent historic district and Penn's Landing.

Reserve early if you plan to stay during college graduations or back-to-school time, when the inn is busiest.

Parking

The pay lot across the street is most convenient. Unfortunately, the cost of parking is not included in the room rate, and you'll have to head several blocks south before you reach free parking.

The Scene This is the perfect setting for tourists seeking living history. The charming inn harkens back to the days of Paul Revere, with decor that reflects the colonial style of 1750. It welcomes guests into a bustling reception area warmed by a lovely fireplace. Gardens abloom with seasonal herbs, and roses add to the old-fashioned tone of this countrified urban... more

Shippen Way Inn is a very historic-looking inn. It is very inviting and charming. The rooms are fairly large and are so clean and well decorated. You will have your own bathroom, which are surprisingly quite roomy. The location is great and near so much activity and great site seeing spots. Parking is ok, but can be expensive. The staff is ultra friendly. You will enjoy your stay here.

There are many restaurants within walking distance as well as the great art supply store, Pearl. The inn is quiet and restful even though it is located in a busy part of the city. The rates are extremely reasonable. They have wine and cheese available in the afternoon--perfect after a day of sightseeing.

My husband and I stayed at the Shippen Way Inn this summer, and I found it thoroughly charming and a nice respite from the frenzied South Street a block north. Our room overlooked a lovely little patio with sitting areas and a well-kept garden. We had free roam of the common kitchen/dining area and availed ourselves of cheese, wine, and tea, as well as the breads, pastries, coffee, and other... more
