City Hall Grand Hotel, Williamsport

City Hall Grand Hotel occupies the former Williamsport City Hall, a building that inspired Mark Twain's story A Curious Dream. The hotel has 30 individually designed rooms, each with a distinct theme such as the Twain Room, the Band Room, or the Women of Williamsport Room. Rooms retain original carved woodwork and bay windows, with some featuring repurposed bank vaults and high ceilings.

The Newsroom Grill & Spirits serves American cuisine for lunch and dinner in a bar and restaurant setting within the hotel. A speakeasy-style bar offers cocktails and light bites. The bar is open select hours, and guests can also use the vending machine on the third floor for snacks and drinks.
