In 1895 the Roycroft Arts and Crafts Community was founded in East Aurora, New York by writer-philosopher Elbert Hubbard. Based on the Medieval Guild system that was adapted by William Morris & John Ruskin in the English Arts & Crafts Movement, Hubbard developed and promoted a self-contained community which supported hundreds of craftspeople. The Roycroft community became the mecca for those interested in the Arts and Crafts movement and in 1905 the Roycroft Inn was opened to accommodate the thousands of people who journeyed there. After Hubbard's tragic death in 1915, the Roycroft was operated until 1938 by his son Bert. Passing through several hands since then, it was granted National Landmark Status in 1986
29 guest suites are available at The Roycroft Inn. Each suite consists of at least one sleeping area, a changing / sitting area and a full bath. Guests may choose from three, four, or five room suites. All are decorated with original and / or reproduction Roycroft furnishings. All rooms have been "modernized" to include telephones, computer fax modems and remote control color televisions, with videocassette players.
