Scioto Inn

Boutique Luxury in Historic Urbana, Ohio

Nestled in the heart of downtown Urbana, Ohio, the Scioto Inn combines historic elegance with the comfort of modern boutique lodging. Established in 2011 and thoughtfully restored from its 19th-century origins, our inn offers six luxury suites designed for both relaxation and convenience.

A Boutique Inn with Historic Charm

The building that is now home to the Scioto Inn was originally constructed in 1885 as the residence and medical clinic of Dr. Harry Butcher, a pioneering physician in Urbana. Within a short time, Dr. Butcher expanded the property into a 13-room clinic that became a landmark in the community. After his era, the structure evolved into upscale apartments, known as one of Urbana’s most prestigious addresses for much of the 20th century. By 2010, the building underwent a complete renovation, carefully restoring its historic elegance while introducing modern comforts and sustainable upgrades.

In 2011, it reopened as the Scioto Inn, a boutique lodging destination where authentic architecture meets stylish interiors and luxury amenities. Today, every stay reflects the Inn’s unique blend of history, comfort, and small-town hospitality, making it a cherished part of downtown Urbana.
