Coordinates: 42°58′40″N 70°57′15″W / 42.97778°N 70.95417°W The Exeter Inn, also known as The Inn at Exeter, is an inn in Exeter, New Hampshire. It is located on Front Street and was first built in 1932.[1] It is located close to the campus of Phillips Exeter Academy and is within walking distance of downtown Exeter. The inn's architectural style is very similar to many of the buildings on campus, as well. Many parents of Phillips Exeter students stay at the hotel when visiting.[2]

There had previously been an Exeter Inn on Water Street in Exeter; it was one of the town's oldest buildings and was demolished in 1959.[3][4]

In 2007, the hotel was purchased by new owners who launched a renovation project that significantly changed the entrances, lobby, and decor.[5] It retained the building's Georgian style architecture, however, and now contains 46 guest rooms.[6] After the renovation inn's restaurant became known as the Epoch Restaurant and Bar.[5]

The hotel has frequently hosted events for New Hampshire primary candidates.[5][7][8]
