Welcome to the Historic York Inn




Hello, and welcome to The Historic York Inn, also known as The Smyser-Bair House Bed & Breakfast — a Victorian mansion located at 30 South Beaver Street in the historic district of downtown of York, Pennsylvania.

The Historic York Inn / Smyser-Bair House Bed & Breakfast is the perfect place to stay — in part due to it's beauty and history, in part due to it's central location to so many points of interest: York, Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Hershey, Lancaster, Baltimore, Washington DC, and a number of interesting sights nearby.

The central location makes The Historic York Inn / Smyser Bair House well-positioned for an extended vacation of day trips.

We welcome you to visit for a brush with history, a romantic getaway, or for any of your travel needs. Gold Pier mirrors, crystal chandeliers, stained glass windows, elaborate woodwork — it’s all yours to enjoy as our guests.

Living in historic luxury like this is more affordable than you may think. Our rates rival those of corporate hotels, yet offer so much more.

Decorated with antique furniture and maintaining the look and feel of a Victorian mansion from the 1800s, the home features well-preserved details from the past, including gold-leaf, Italian, handcrafted Pier mirrors covered in gold that (legend has it) came from Dr. Henry Smyser’s own Gold Rush expedition; crystal chandeliers; hand-crafted ceiling medallions and crown molding; stained-glass windows with family crests; an antique, 100 percent porcelain sink and water closet; 9 to 12 foot ceilings throughout the home; hand-cast, iron window heads and medallions; stunning mantles and marble fireplace surrounds; a second floor balcony; and a beautiful mural out back where the stable once stood in the brick courtyard.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Historic York Inn / Smyser-Bair House Bed & Breakfast. For reservations, more information, or to arrange a tour, please send an email to us at Yorkinn@gmail.com.
