If you tend to spend most of your vacations getting lost in the pages of your latest book<\/a>, then maybe your next trip should revolve entirely around reading. That can become a reality when you head to The Bookhouse at Faunbrook<\/a>, a book-themed boutique hotel, in West Chester, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Originally built in the 1860s, the property was previously home to the Darlington Family before the Italianate-style mansion was transformed into the book-inspired boutique hotel 260 years later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some amenities are unique to each room \u2014 like a marble fireplace, claw-foot tub, and secret reading nooks. But\u00a0all guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi, a private bathroom with toiletries, and hotel slippers. The Bookhouse at Faunbrook\u00a0 also partners with Longwood Gardens and Taste of Local Food Tours to provide discounted tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests can escape into one of the hundreds of books located in each room. When you decide to take a book break, take a peek inside the guestbook. It provides a list of activities, restaurants, and shopping destinations around town.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Six of the seven rooms accommodate two guests; Alice\u2019s Suite can accommodate up to four guests. Room prices start at $200 to $300 per night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More Book-Able Accommodations <\/p>\n

If The Bookhouse at Faunbrook is full, prospective guests can also consider staying at the hotel\u2019s original location, The Bookhouse Hotel<\/a>. Located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, the two sister hotels are less than 11 miles apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bookhouse\u2019s historic building was previously a bookstore. It became a book-themed hotel in 2022. The four-room abode houses more than 5,000 books. Room prices at The Bookhouse start at $200 per night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those that can\u2019t get enough of the bookish destination, the hotel also has a book club<\/a>. Members of the book club get a new book shipped to them every three months, along with curated themed gifts. Membership is $99 per quarter or $350 yearly. It includes discounts for hotel stays, invites to author Q&As, and priority access and discounts to the hotel\u2019s annual Book Ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
