Historic Hotel Fauchère in Pennsylvania
Loved being taken back in time by Hotel Fauchère in Milford, Pennsylvania. The property was founded in 1852 by Louis Fauchère, the head chef of the famous Delmonico’s in New York -- which is why they have a fine dining Delmonico Room onsite, as well as a hip gastropub-style Bar Louis. The property was a gem of the Gilded Era, with some notable guests including Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Charlie Chaplin, Babe Ruth, Andrew Carnegie, Robert Frost, Sarah Bernhardt and many others. In 2006 the hotel was restored and re-opened as a 16-bedroom boutique hotel, still in the same family with many original features. Worth the trip in itself, and walkable/bikeable to the Delaware River and numerous scenic hiking trails.
