Check Into This Brand New Boutique Hotel, A Former YMCA, In The Enchanting Town Of Jim Thorpe

We've all heard that old saying, "It's about the journey, not the destination." Part of that journey is deciding where we're going to stay on our next adventure. With so many options - hotels, motels, Vrbos, Airbnbs, and B&Bs - we have an undeniable challenge when making that decision. If you're heading to the Switzerland of PA, you'll probably want to consider checking into this charming boutique hotel in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

Anytime is a good time to visit the darling small town of Jim Thorpe which, with its Victorian-era buildings, has earned the title of the Switzerland of Pennsylvania.

Every season promises something special in this small town. If you're a fan of the fall foliage, plan a visit during autumn. The small town in Pennsylvania hosts the Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Festival and, well, the views of the seasonal colors are just awe-inspiring.

You'll have quite a few choices of where to stay during your visit, and the Y on Broadway, which opened in 2023, just might be one of the most enchanting.

Formerly the YMCA of Mauch Chunk, which opened in 1894, the former Y building has since been transformed into a luxurious boutique hotel.

The four pillars at the front of the hotel once belonged to Jim Thorpe's first courthouse.

As soon as you walk through the front door of this historic space, you'll feel right at home. The lobby oozes a cozy charm.

Each of the 19 rooms has a queen or king bed, and standard rooms and suites are available.

Each room comes with a parking spot, too.

Suite and room amenities include a 46-inch television, air-conditioning, a private bath, blackout curtains, and hypo-allergenic bedding. Wifi is also included.

The hotel is also home to a full-service spa.

Consider booking a balcony room, which provides beautiful views of Jim Thorpe. Can you think of a better way to spend some time than sitting on the balcony and enjoying the fresh air?
