What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms, then, are crisp and clean-lined, combining a stylized simplicity with retro elements, from the somewhat Seventies color palette to the rustic patterns of the headboards and textiles.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Mount Sunapee's ski slopes and Lake Sunapee's public beach are both a five-minute drive down Route 103.
The rooms
Crisp, simple rooms have patterned headboards and vintage snowshoes on the walls, finished in earthy seventies tones.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor heated saltwater pool sits on the lower level, opening onto a seasonal patio deck with loungers.
How it began
Built as a roadside motor lodge and longtime Best Western, the property was overhauled in 2022 to revive its alpine character.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
