Inn at Canal Square

The Inn at Canal Square is a waterfront boutique inn situated along the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal in the charming historic town of Lewes, Delaware. Located at 122 Market Street, the property overlooks the working harbor and is steps from historic downtown Lewes—its galleries, specialty shops, antique dealers, and acclaimed restaurants are within easy walking distance. The building's contemporary design offers a pleasing contrast to Lewes's colonial-era streetscape, and the combination of canal views, complimentary breakfast, and personal service has made it one of the most consistently praised lodging options on the Delaware coast. Accommodations range from Standard Rooms to Canal View Rooms and King Suites, with the best units offering private balconies or direct sightlines over the canal and its moored sailboats and working vessels. Complimentary bicycle rentals are provided for exploring the Lewes-to-Rehoboth Canal Trail—a flat, paved path that covers roughly 16 miles between the two towns and is one of Delaware's most enjoyable cycling routes. Complimentary breakfast is included with each stay, making the morning meal easy and unhurried before exploring the area. Concierge staff are knowledgeable about local dining, seasonal events, and excursions. The inn is well-positioned as a base for visiting Cape Henlopen State Park—a premier Delaware outdoor destination featuring ocean beaches, nature trails, and birding—located a short drive from the property. The nearby Lewes-Cape May Ferry terminal connects Delaware's coast to Cape May, New Jersey, a popular day-trip option. Rehoboth Beach, with its boardwalk and commercial energy, is a comfortable 5-mile drive or canal-trail bicycle ride south. The Inn at Canal Square draws visitors who prefer Lewes's quieter, history-laden ambiance over the busier resort character of Rehoboth Beach, while still wanting proximity to all the coast has to offer.
