Cartwheel Inn

About this place Cartwheel Inn

The Cartwheel Inn sits on North Main Street in the centre of New Hope and represents the type of gay-specific accommodation that the town has sustained for longer than almost any comparable destination in the United States. New Hope's guesthouse culture is one of its defining characteristics: the combination of historic properties (many dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries), a gay-friendly town environment, and consistent demand from Philadelphia and New York weekenders has produced a stock of small, characterful inns that are available nowhere else in the region. The Cartwheel Inn operates in this tradition — a property that is explicitly gay-welcoming and that serves the LGBTQ+ visitor community with the knowledge and local connections that only a gay-owned or gay-operated accommodation can provide. The Main Street location means that guests are within walking distance of every restaurant, bar, shop, and gallery in New Hope, and the Delaware River and towpath are a short walk east. For visitors who want to be at the centre of New Hope's gay social geography, the Cartwheel is the most convenient option.
