Travelers to the small town of Stockton would be hard-pressed to miss the glowing lights and enticing energy drawing them to the banks of the Delaware River where the Inn proudly stands. What was once a favorite rendezvous for the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jackie Kennedy Onassis is now a destination for visitors seeking a pleasurable stay just north of Lambertville and New Hope. 

Originally built in 1710, the Stockton Inn has been the talk of the town for centuries. According to local folklore, the inn was a speakeasy during prohibition, catering to the elite from both Philadelphia and New York City. Our wishing well was made famous by the Rodgers and Hart song, “There’s a Small Hotel.” And Margaret Mitchell is rumored to have penned portions of Gone With the Wind within our walls. With such a rich history, it was a tall order to renovate the inn for the modern guest. We’ve done so with the utmost respect and diligent attention to detail. 

As of 2024, the Stockton Inn has entered a new era. We’ve reimagined the property as an elegant escape. A place to take time away from crowded cities and cookie-cutter hotels, luxuriate in impeccably furnished guestrooms, and savor a meal that’s delicious enough to inspire the next literary masterpiece.
