Gibson Inn

Built in 1907 and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Gibson Inn has long stood as a welcoming landmark in the heart of Apalachicola. Thoughtfully expanded and reimagined, the Inn now offers 69 guest rooms that blend historic character with modern comfort, all rooted in the easy rhythm of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Guests gather on wide wraparound porches, cool off in the heated saltwater pool or hot tub, and enjoy the quiet luxury of a stay that feels both unhurried and intentional. On property, the Franklin Café and Parlor Bar anchor the experience with coastal-driven cuisine and classic cocktails, serving locals and travelers alike with equal warmth. Looking ahead, the Gibson Inn continues to evolve, with a fitness center and a casual café and market slated to open in 2026—enhancing, never overshadowing, the spirit that has defined the Inn for more than a century. Whether you’re visiting for a night or staying awhile, the Gibson Inn invites you to slow down, make yourself at home, and follow along as we continue to welcome guests, neighbors, and collaborators to Apalachicola.
