Item Description

East Aurora… a village of exquisite shops, antique stores, fine restaurants, art galleries, historic sites and museums and lovely tree-lined streets and parks.

When you visit THE ROYCROFT INN, for your overnight stay, the experience is steeped in the history of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Located on the Roycroft Campus and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, the Inn's glorious past breathes from every floorboard. As you step through the grand doors "time seems to stand still,” at least for a minute. In the Salon you are surrounded by the beautifully restored murals created by Alexis Jean Fournier, an original Roycroft artist. Sit in an original Roycroft Morris chair, read a book by a handcrafted lamp or just stroll through the series of exquisitely restored rooms and breathe in the history of this Historic Inn.
