I liked the property but I wouldn't recommend it for families with young kids. 1. Pool is outdoors across the street in a different complex 2. No microwave in the room or on the floor. So any leftover or microwave food for kids needs to be taken to the frontdesk staff to warm up in the kitchen 3. Tv google chromecast didn't work. We were unable to connect our phones to tv. We called the automated help desk from chromecast with no luck. Not sure if its because we had android phones. So we were stuck with whatever was on regular tv.

Pamper yourself

A beautiful room in a high end boutique hotel. We are from State College and this is our getaway/pamper ourselves spot. Would definitely recommend. Also, the restaurant is top notch.

We love this hotel! This was our second stay. It’s beautiful, it’s modern but has so much character. It’s clean and cozy. The bartender always makes amazing drinks, too! We are looking forward to revisiting and trying the restaurant next time!

A Hidden Gem in State College – Truly Exceptional

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently stayed one night at the Carnegie House and was absolutely blown away. I had never heard of it before, but it turned out to be an incredible find. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome — warm, attentive, and professional. The bar and restaurant were top-notch, offering a cozy yet refined atmosphere with delicious food and drinks. What really stood out, though, was the room. The renovation and design were flawless — every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating a space that was both elegant and comfortable. Even though it was just a short stay, it left a lasting impression. I’ll definitely be back — and recommending it to anyone heading to State College!

There are places one simply stays—and then there are places one is graciously welcomed into, as if into the pages of a quieter, more refined life. The Carnegie House, nestled in the serene embrace of State College, Pennsylvania, is emphatically the latter. It does not clamor for attention; it does not shout luxury. Instead, it murmurs elegance with the confidence of something long-established and deeply loved. From the moment of arrival, the experience becomes more than mere lodging. The staff, a chorus of grace and professionalism, do not perform hospitality—they embody it. Every gesture feels sincere, every kindness unhurried. One senses quickly that this is not a job for them, but a practiced art. The architecture whispers old-world charm without pretension, and the grounds are a quiet sonnet to beauty—manicured, but not sterile; curated, but not contrived. It is a place where the windows hold the light just so, and mornings arrive with gentle dignity. And then—the food. To call it a meal is to undersell the craft. Each plate is composed like a stanza, balancing boldness with restraint, decadence with discipline. The chef is clearly both artist and steward, drawing from the surrounding bounty of Pennsylvania with reverence. Every bite reveals thought, care, and an unapologetic devotion to excellence. There are stays that leave their imprint quietly, like pressed flowers in the folds of a beloved book. The Carnegie House is one.
