A female innkeeper is called an innkeeper; the noun isn't gender-specific.

The term was used in the past to refer to someone who owns or manages an inn.

Today we'd be more likely to call them a hotel owner or hotel manager, or a bar owner or bar manager, terms which are also not gender-specific.

Another older term used instead of innkeeper was landlord. The term landlord today is not gender-specific, but a landlord who is female was once, and is sometimes still, referred to as a landlady.

Today, calling a person who runs a hotel, bar or inn, a landlady might be considered old-fashioned or, at worst, impolite.
