Eat & Drink
The property features Lionne 1855 restaurant.
“This reimagined landmark succeeds as a nostalgic return for Penn State alumni, with updated rooms that still acknowledge the building's history. Dining seems a particular strength, from the formal Leonine restaurant to the lively bar atmosphere at 1855. Its central location and attentive service make it a compelling choice in State College.”
