From Boston’s rich colonial history and dynamic arts scene to the glowing colors of a Berkshires sunset, immerse yourself in the elegant beauty of the New England region. Known for scenic sand dunes and superb seafood, Cape Cod offers summertime fun while Vermont and Rhode Island are home to flourishing craft beer scenes. New England is a year-round destination customizable to all passions and interests.
Best time to visit: Primarily a summer destination, high season runs from May through September. Fall brings the changing of the leaves, and winter kicks off great skiing opportunities in Vermont and New Hampshire.
Go for this: Travel back in time with a historian leading you through Revolutionary Boston’s historic sights, open after-hours just for you. Or, head to Cambridge for an insider tour of Harvard University.
But try this: Explore the wonders of Acadia National Park in the fall with an insider tour of uncharted islands or, indulge in Portland’s innovative culinary and craft beer scene.
Favorite guest experience: Embark on the mighty Atlantic with a third-generation lobster fisherman to learn all about the lobster trade, from pot to pot. Or, bike across picturesque Green Mountain terrain in Vermont, stopping to taste local cheeses and farm cuisine. Finally, sail the waters off the coast of Newport aboard a schooner with a seasoned captain at the helm. Race your group or just sit back and enjoy the breeze!
Favorite hotel: Ocean House (RI): Ocean House is a historic luxury hotel that has been meticulously reconstructed to pay tribute to Newport’s storied past. With its uncompromising service, beachfront location and world-class amenities, Ocean House pays homage to New England’s golden age of hospitality with timeless elegance and topnotch cuisine.
Wheatleigh (MA, Berkshires): This intimate villa in the heart of The Berkshires was built in the late 1800’s as a wedding present from a robber baron to his daughter. Now a luxurious 19-room hotel, Wheatleigh combines exceptional personal service and award-winning cuisine with the elegance and comfort of the 21st century.
Favorite restaurant: Barbara Lynch’s seven restaurants in Boston span the culinary spectrum from casual oyster bar (B&G Oysters), to Relais & Chateaux dining (Menton), to James Beard Award-winning wine lists (No. 9 Park).
The charming seaside town of Ogunquit, in Southern Maine, is home to Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier’s MC Perkin’s Cove, one of Food & Wine’s top romantic hotels in the USA.
Favorite foods & beverages: Lobster rolls, clam chowder, maple syrup and artisanal beers.
