Boutique Hotels in Lititz, PA

A small town in Lancaster County, Lititz is known for its covered bridges, rolling farmland, and a slower pace of life. The rush hour here is of a different kind. The Amish, or Anabaptists, are the chief residents in this tiny borough of 10,000, and the worst traffic you’ll get from Lititz boutique hotels is being stuck behind a buggy. Members of this conservative Christian faith came to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century to escape persecution in Europe for their Anabaptist beliefs. The Pennsylvania Amish community in Lancaster County is the oldest and largest in the United States, numbering about 30,000. As humility is one of the hallmarks of Amish culture, you’ll find that the streets of downtown Lititz are free from any major shopping malls or franchises. Instead, you’ll find some great non-chain shopping that highlights local artisans, including quilt shops, bakeries, crafts, and more. And don’t forget to grab a snack while you explore downtown from the oldest commercial pretzel bakery in the United States that's been open since the 1800s! There are plenty of dining options within walking distance of Lititz boutique hotels. Whether it’s freshly churned butter, handmade ice cream or baked chicken, your taste buds won’t go wrong.

While you can’t exactly hitch a ride with the Amish, you can take a buggy ride tour throughout the rolling countryside to get a glimpse of how the Amish get around. Head over to the nearby town of Ronks and check out the Amish Village, a guided tour of an authentic 1840s Amish farmhouse and schoolhouse that sits on 12 acres.

Be sure to take a stroll through the Lititz Moravian historic district from the top Lititz boutique hotels. With 113 historically preserved buildings, you can find some of the finest examples of Federal and Late Victorian architecture and get a glimpse of how the earliest settlers, the Moravians, lived. The Moravian community was one of the first to be founded by immigrants in the United States, and their legacy lives on through their commitment to community service, education, and religious freedom. While there, stop by the Johannes Mueller House, built in the late 1700s. Inside you’ll find many artifacts and exhibits that harken back to Lititz’s early days. Round out the tour of old town with a visit to the Lititz Church Square, which holds the original church that was built in 1787.

If you want to explore nature, stop by the Wolf Sanctuary of PA. Originally started as a private rescue, you can find over 50 gray wolves and wolfdogs on 80 acres of woodland. Guided tours are available to discover more about this once-endangered species.

A visit to Pennsylvania Dutch Country wouldn’t be complete without a proper Mud Sale experience. These auctions have everything from fresh produce, meats, dairy, Amish-made furniture, and farming equipment.
