The Sunset Inn is one of Provincetown’s oldest guesthouses. Built in the Mid-Nineteenth Century as a private home, it has been a guesthouse welcoming visitors to Provincetown for more than half a century. If the Sunset Inn looks familiar, it may be that you’ve seen one of the many paintings and photographs depicting the building. Scores of artists have been attracted by the stately elegance and beauty of the inn. Among them renowned local artist Robert Kennedy, whose paintings of the Sunset Inn can be found in art galleries throughout the country, and American artist Edward Hopper, whose famous painting of the inn entitled “Rooms for Tourists” hangs in the permanent collection at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven (Connecticut).
