When you think of luxury accommodations, what comes to mind? Is it miles of sandy beaches, lavish spas, opulent rooms, and acres of carefully manicured yet natural woodlands?

While you can find something special about resorts in every state, New England hotels offer guests the best of the stunning scenery that spans everything from the lush forest to the beach, fine dining experiences, outdoor adventures, and luxury accommodations that you would expect on an indulgent trip.

Let us take a closer look at why New England hotels make an ideal luxury vacation destination for your next trip.

Unique Landscapes

Can you never decide between visiting the beach or the mountains? In New England, there’s no need to simply choose one. Part of the charm of the region is its size and diverse landscape.

You can easily drive from the dense wilderness to a coastal town within an hour, and along the way pass sweeping meadows, placid lakes, and lush forests.

For nature lovers, New England offers a one-of-a-kind experience where you can observe multiple landscapes in a day. Additionally, you may also observe some of the region’s quintessential wildlife, such as deer, pheasants, and foxes from your hotel’s property.

The landscape makes a beautiful backdrop for a luxury wedding too!

Four-Season Sports

The region is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. While the New England weather can be unpredictable, the seasons are not. The region is one of the few that experiences the best of all four seasons. The warm and sunny days of summer are perfect for visiting the shoreline and kayaking or taking a hike.

During autumn, outdoor activities such as horseback riding or cycling are the ideal way to observe the stunning fall foliage the states are known for.

When winter rolls around, New England remains lively. Fresh powder is a skier’s dream and is also the best foundation for other winter activities, such as snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and ice skating among the bright white scenery.

No matter when you visit New England, you will find plenty of activities and adventures to embark on.

If you are an avid outdoor enthusiast, ensure that your hotel offers nature excursions and adventures to participate in.

Upscale Dining

New England cuisine is characterized by the use of seafood and rich dairy products, but that’s not the only food you will find in the region.

While comforting delicacies such as lobster rolls and clam chowder are some of the most well-known dishes, many upscale restaurants also craft their menus around seasonal, local, and fresh ingredients.

From French and European-inspired menus to seafood-centric eateries, you will be able to find a dining experience for everyone’s tastes and expectations.

Though New England is a coastal region, it also has a thriving agricultural scene, meaning you can find the best farm-to-table cuisine alongside fresh-caught seafood at many hotel dining rooms.

Centuries Of History

New England offers the perfect blend of historic architecture and modern conveniences. You can find stunning, centuries-old buildings and classic stone walls, alongside present-day parks and current attractions.

Many sites have been painstakingly preserved or lovingly restored and maintained as modern office buildings, shops, and even restaurants.

The region is steeped in history, so no matter where you choose to visit you will know there is a story to be told about the area.

For lovers of history, New England allows them to get closer to some of the country’s most revered landmarks and architecture that is unique to the region. And for others, the signature sites simply provide a stunning backdrop to their adventure.

Luxury Accommodations

Finally, we cannot overlook the luxury accommodations many New England hotels have to offer. The vast wilderness and sprawling coast provide acres of land for New England hotels to call home and meticulously maintain.

Guests not only enjoy all the aforementioned aspects of the region, but also exclusive amenities from their accommodations, such as spas, pools, golf courses, and outdoor experiences.

At The Preserve Sporting Club and Residences, guests can choose from many luxury accommodations that sit on over 3,500 pristine acres of New England woodlands in Rhode Island.
