A Historic Landmark From 1847, Mullin Hotel Is Perhaps West Virginia’s Oldest Continuously Operating Hotel

In 1847, James Polk was president. The U.S. Postal Service sold the first postage stamps. Thomas Edison was born. Narcissa Whitman died. And the Moorefield (now Mullin) Hotel in Moorefield, West Virginia (then Virginia) was built, funded by such stockholders as Robert E. Lee's brother Charles and quickly earning the reputation as one of the finest hotels in all of the Virginias.

The Moorefield Hotel, located in downtown Moorefield, West Virginia, became famous under the operation of Captain C. B. Mullin in the 1860s and 1870s, attracting multiple visitors of note and distinction.

During this time, which came to be known as the Golden Age of Moorefield, the hotel earned the name "The Mullin Hotel," by which this historic landmark is still known today.

Speaking of today, the Mullin Hotel is still going strong, even well over a century and a half after its founding.

Newly renovated, with 22 rooms, queen beds, Wi-Fi, smart TVs, HVAC, contactless self check-in, and state of the art security system, this historic landmark is said by some to be the oldest continuously operated hotel in West Virginia.

It is certainly one of the oldest, at least, and well worth a visit for the elegant, historic accommodations (and wait until you see the rocking chair front porch!).

And even if you can't stay the night, you should still come for a meal at the delicious restaurant, 1847 Mullin Restaurant, that is housed inside this grand old hotel.

As the hotel's website proclaims, "The Mullin Hotel provides a glimpse back to a bygone era while offering all of the amenities and technology of the current day." The Mullin Hotel is even home to the Hardy County Historical Society Museum.
