Hotels in Erie

Gazing across the sparkling waters of Lake Erie, you'll understand why locals call this the 'Gem City.' Presque Isle State Park curves into the lake like a protective arm, offering sandy beaches perfect for swimming or casting a line. Maritime history comes alive at the Erie Maritime Museum, home to the reconstructed flagship Niagara. Catch the SeaWolves baseball team at UPMC Park or explore the Erie Art Museum's surprising collection. The Warner Theatre's restored art deco splendor hosts performances worth dressing up for. After exploring Erie Zoo's compact but well-designed exhibits, end the day watching sunset paint the harbor in colors that rival any coastal city. In winter, embrace the legendary lake-effect snow with nearby skiing.
