The Gibson Inn: Where Publishers and Hospitality Converge
In the heart of Apalachicola resides the town’s crown jewel, the Gibson Inn. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and constructed in 1907, the historic boutique hotel is brimming with Old Florida charm and southern hospitality. Within the same vein resides the mouthwatering brunch, lunch, and dinner dishes from the in-house restaurant and bar, the Franklin Café and Parlor Bar. The iconic Parlor Bar is the unquestionable local favorite serving craft cocktails and local beers.
Featuring one-of-a-kind guest rooms designed for every type of traveler, a lively Billiards Room, wrap-around porches, first-class amenities, and more, it’s no surprise the Gibson Inn, Franklin Café, and Parlor Bar have caught the eyes of national publications.
We are honored and thrilled to share some of the summer publications showcasing the Gibson Inn with you!
