The perfect gift for every occasion

  • The James Gettys Hotel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, looks as it did in the 1920's. Dating back to 1804 the James Gettys Hotel today offers twelve tastefully appointed suites, each with sitting area, bedroom and private bath.
    The warmth and ambience of the lobby is reminiscent of a quaint European hotel. The original chestnut staircase leading to your private suite has been carefully restored to its 19th century beauty.
    The Majestic Suite with King bed, fireplace, living room, jacuzzi tub and spacious bath is a favorit to all.
    The James Gettys Hotel has won numberous restoration awards.
    Historic photographs of the hotel decorate the walls of the quaint lobby.
    Our narrow garden can be enjoyed in the early morning with the paper and coffee. We also share the property with our neighbors at the Blue Parrot Bistro - nice location for an outside lunch or romantic dinner.
    Each suite has a sitting area and kitchenette for a lazy afternoon of reading, or relaxing with a cocktail before dinner.
    Comfortable beds with down blankets, plush linens and special quilts adorn each bedroom.
    Fine toiletries and plush towels are just a few special touches you will find at the James Gettys Hotel

    Perfect Weekend

    May 02, 2013

    My husband and I were looking for an affordable getaway weekend. The James Gettys Hotel was perfect. The staff is so nice, including having a bandaid for me just when I needed it! Rooms were great, simple bedroom, and sweet sitting room. Continental breakfast including home-baked treats one morning and homemade granola another, was the perfect start to our day. Finally, the location couldn't be better. Right in the center of town, with easy parking. Worth the cost of staying just for that, as even the locals complain about the lack of in-town parking! Loved it!

    A Great Visit

    April 09, 2013

    From the moment we drove up to the hotel we were delighted. We chose the hotel based on TripAdvisor so we really had no idea of the layout of Gettysburg. The location is perfect. We walked to dinner and shopping each day. It was a few minute drive to the Battlefield..and there is parking at the hotel. We arrived late and after parking and unloading the car we pleased to find a warm room with a lovely sitting area. More than that it was a living room with a kitchenette area. The kitchen area had 2 burners, a microwave and a good size refrigerator. The bathroom was up to date and complete with high quality soaps and lotions. The bedroom we selected had a queen size bed. The hotel was spotless! Late each afternoon, cookies or chocolate were left in your room along with breakfast muffins, breads and fruit for the next morning. Orange juice was placed in the refrigerator. The James Gettysburg French Roast coffee in the rooms was very good. We were very pleased with the Hotel, the staff was very accommodating and offered suggestions on area dining establishments when asked. I have to say their suggestions were awesome. We will definitely return!

    Getaway

    April 03, 2013

    My college roommate and I met up in Gettysburg for a couple of nights away (it's half-way between our homes). We stayed for two nights at James Gettys hotel and found it to be delightful. The room was nicely decorated, the afternoon snacks and breakfast baskets were terrific! FYI, I marked "Dining" as "Outstanding" but there is no dining at the James Gettys. This system won't allow any category to be unmarked and I didn't want the overall rating to go down because the system is flawed.

    Beautiful place right in the middle of town, so there are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

    Beautiful Small Hotel in Great Location

    March 25, 2013

    We really enjoyed our stay in the Lord Nelson Suite at the James Gettys Hotel. The suite was very large, the breakfast pastries were delicious and the location was perfect for exploring Gettysburg.
