General Information:
The Wells Inn is a luxurious, quaint Historic Hotel near the Ohio River with all modern
amenities. This landmark Hotel is more than a century old and has been renovated to include

Come in and enjoy our little town by the Ohio River. Ephraim Wells, grandson of
Sistersville founder Charles Wells, established the Hotel Wells in 1894 shortly after the
discovery of oil in this area. Many hotels and boardinghouses were available for the
roust-abouts, oilmen and fortune seekers, who descended upon Sistersville during the turn of
the century oil boom. However, few facilities were available for the oil barons and genteel
travelers and residents of the area. Wells built this Hotel to serve this clientele. The
foundation was laid in April of 1894 and the Hotel opened its doors to the public on January
15, 1895. The *Sistersville Daily Review* the leading newspaper of the area noted, *The
banquet and ball which celebrated the Hotel opening was one of the notable events of the
century.* Throughout the years, statesmen, business people, and professionals from all around
the world have enjoyed the comforts and gracious elegance of the Hotel Wells, later known as
the Wells Inn. It became a favorite gathering place for residents as well as visitors to the
area. It became, we believe, a special place. The grand old gal still looks good. A
restoration investment of over one million dollars has allowed the Hotel to enhance its
visitor services to include a restaurant, an indoor pool and jacuzzi, an exercise and fitness
area, and a pub. Visitors to the Wells Inn can make use of conference facilities both at the
Hotel and across the street at the Gaslight Theater and Conference Center. Golf privileges are
also available at the nearby Sistersville Country Club designed by Sam Snead. Come on out to
the Wells Inn and enjoy the graciousness of a by-gone era without forsaking 21st century
amenities. You*ll be glad you did.
