The Boothby Inn, a Victorian-era home nestled in downtown
Erie, Pennsylvania, offers luxury and style in a most warm and
calming atmosphere.
Named in the June 2002 issue of Travel and Leisure
as one of the 30 great inns in the nation and recipient of the
Three Diamond Rating by AAA, this "Millionaire Row"
bed and breakfast lays claim to the most luxurious
accommodations in Erie.
With classic traditional furniture and sophisticated
fabrics, the Boothby Inn "wows" you from the minute
you swing open the front door. The rich oak paneled hallway
with its impressive stairway and spectacular stained glass
windows that embrace the sunlight are simply a precursor to
the four breathtaking guest chambers.
Guestrooms each provide the pampering amenities of 310-count
sheets, fluffy and generous towels, goose down pillows, down
comforters, and terry cloth robes. These well-insulated
accommodations with en suite baths spawn romance and
relaxation. The business traveler will appreciate features
such data ports, desks, phones, clock radios, televisions with
VCRs, and early breakfasts when needed.
Just down the hall from your room you will find the guest
galley, where you may help yourself to refreshments and snacks
in the refrigerator, fill your ice bucket in the ice machine,
or grab a book or magazine to take back to your room. An hour
before breakfast, you can expect the coffee maker to have
freshly brewed coffee.
Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast which might feature Gloria's
Lemon Souffle Pancakes or Blueberry Croissant French Toast.
Outside on warm mornings, you may have breakfast served to you
on the garden patio beside the fountain's soothing sounds, or
take a pre-breakfast stroll through the perennial garden. |
Lounge in the comfortable front porch in late afternoons
with a glass of wine and watch the world go by.
The Boothby Inn is yet another addition to the growing
development of Erie's bayfront and downtown. The Inn's
historic district location is particularly convenient for arts
and entertainment lovers as well as for business travelers.
Warner Theater, Erie Philharmonic, Erie Playhouse, and the
Erie Civic Center all promise a wonderful evening out. Six
blocks from Lake Erie's bayfront, the Inn is only four miles
to Presque Isle State Park, with eight miles of beaches and
hiking/biking trails.
Catering to both the business traveler and the vacationer,
the Boothby Inn boasts warm and sophisticated hospitality. All
guests leave a little of themselves at the Boothby Inn, and
the Knoxes leave you with the memory of new friends. |
