A place at the lock. A place on Lambert.
Three places to stay along the Delaware — in two old river towns that a single bridge makes one.
About Lock & Lambert
New Hope, on the Pennsylvania bank of the Delaware, and Lambertville, on the New Jersey one, are two river towns a single steel bridge joins. Lock & Lambert is three places to stay between them.
One is on South Main Street, in the middle of New Hope — the old Delaware Canal and a weathered lockhouse just out the back door, the shops and the Bucks County Playhouse a short walk the other way. The other two share a house on Lambert Lane in Lambertville, a quiet street that runs down to the river.
What you find inside is the same in all three. Rooms we furnished with a real eye and keep with care. Kitchens stocked to cook in. Beds made up properly, fast Wi-Fi, room to spread out, and a smartlock at the door so you arrive on your own time. Send a message and it gets answered. Pets are welcome — and so are you.
Park once, cross the bridge on foot, and let the two towns be one long, unhurried trip.

Where the name comes from
The name is, almost literally, a map. Lock is a lock on the Delaware Canal — the hand-dug 1830s waterway that still runs, and still holds water, behind the New Hope building. Lambert is Lambertville, the New Jersey town across the river, named in 1810 for a local man who went on to the United States Senate. And the & is the bridge between them — a green steel truss that has carried people over the water since 1904.
Two old river towns, joined by a five-minute walk across the bridge. That is the short version.
