Nittany Lion Inn

Owned and operated by Penn State, the Nittany Lion Inn has been providing on-campus dining, lodging, and conference facilities since 1931. It has also offered important practical experiences to generations of students in the University’s hospitality programs. Expanded several times, the Inn now features 223 guest rooms and suites. The Inn owes its location to the adjacent highway, once called the Lakes to Sea Highway, which for many years served as the main transportation artery between the campus and other parts of the state. The Inn is a member of the prestigious National Trust Historic Hotels of America, a program of the National Trust in Historic Preservation.
