An Intimate and Historic Boutique Hotel…at the Delaware Beaches…in the heart of Historic Lewes…is Hotel Rodney…
The other day, when I wrote a post on Beseme, the restaurant in Lewes, I knew I would be writing about Hotel Rodney. The reason? Well, Beseme is in the same historic building, so when my friends and I finished lunch, we asked if we could see the rooms.
Hotel Rodney, went through a complete renovation and this boutique hotel really has character, and appeal.
Its location is 142 Second Street, Lewes, DE 19958. The telephone is 302-645-6466 and the website is www.hotelrodneydelaware.com.
It is the perfect boutique hotel; individual, stylish, smart, intimate, and you won’t find any other hotel like it.
It has 24 rooms: Executive, Twin, Deluxe, Corner Deluxe and Suites. Prices vary from summer, Fall, Winter, Spring and Early Summer, so please contact them at the above telephone number or just visit their website.
The rooms were very nicely decorated with antiques but also with all the amenities of modern accommodations. The bathrooms were so pretty; marble and tile. We saw a Deluxe Room and a Suite. Very comfortable and good size rooms. I loved the polished hardwood floors; they give so much warmth.
Other amenities in the rooms are the availability of computer-work stations; printer and free WiFi in the lobby. There is a fitness center in the hotel and bicycle rental. Hotel Rodney is family and pet friendly.
There is catering available as well as a conference room with seating space for up to 50, with powerpoint capability. But, again, for more information, please call the hotel.
I want to let you know that I have not stayed at Hotel Rodney or in any of the hotels in the area. I just don’t have to because I live here. I like to visit them and at least I can tell you a little bit about them. I have had friends that have been guests at this hotel and really enjoyed it. But, how could you not? It is in the heart of Lewes, walking distance to an abundance of restaurants, shops, and museums.
You can stroll or power walk all over town and it is so scenic; you will find that every corner is a Kodak moment.
Event
