Fodor's Expert Review Gibson Inn

One of a few inns on the National Register of Historic Places still operating as a full-service facility, this turn-of-the-20th-century hostelry in the heart of downtown is easily identified by its wraparound porches, intricate fretwork, and widow's walk. Each room is uniquely decorated, and all were recently renovated. For an authentic Apalachicola experience, enjoy waking up here and starting the day with a complimentary breakfast on the veranda, or try dinner or brunch at the on-site restaurant, The Franklin. Wind down after a day of exploring at The Parlor Bar, where you'll find music, craft cocktails, local brews, and bar bites.
