Pepin Mansion

Top choice in Indiana


Standing supremely along New Albany's historical Mansion Row, this easy-on-the-eyes 1851 Italianate abode features ornate hand-painted ceilings, original hardwood flooring and gas chandeliers among other period details. The four antique-filled but modern rooms (TVs by Roku, for example) are wildly different but equally spectacular. Our favorite, the Culbertson Suite, has a claw-foot bathtub.

Breakfast strictly served at 8:30am.
