About
An Historic Inn with Modern Art and Style
White Porch Inn is a boutique Provincetown art hotel offering a distinctive blend of comfort, design, and artistic expression. Guests enjoy a modern experience rooted in history, just steps from the beach, Commercial Street, and the vibrant cultural scene of Provincetown.
Historic Charm; Contemporary Style
Built in the 1840s, the home once belonged to the Kelly family, known for their sail-making business during Provincetown’s fishing era. After a full renovation, the Provincetown inn reopened in 2007 with a focus on combining historic charm, contemporary style, and rotating art exhibitions, reflecting the creative spirit of the town.
