Hotel Fauchère

The exterior looks lifted straight from American Gothic, all stern clapboard and small-town Pennsylvania gravitas. Step inside and the Hotel Fauchère pivots hard toward cosmopolitan boutique hotel, the kind of place that quietly embarrasses the flyover-country assumption. Milford sits in the long stretch between Philly and Pittsburgh, and this is where city people go when they want the mountains without giving up the thread count. Michelin awarded it one Key.
