A luxurious addition to one of New England’s oldest ski towns, the six-story ski-in/ski-out Stowe Mountain Lodge has transformed the local hotel scene. Guests can borrow from its Mercedes fleet, and each of the 312 rooms comes with a gas fireplace and a private balcony. No log-cabin chic here: the progressive design incorporates floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless-steel kitchen appliances, and bamboo sheets and robes. The spacious restaurant, Solstice, makes use of locally sourced meats and produce (and offers a tasty flight of Vermont microbrews). Après-ski means a visit to the 21,000-square-foot spa.
Room to Book:
Room 1509, a two-bedroom suite has a two-story wrap-around balcony. (If that's booked, the 515-sq-ft. studios have an extra queen-sized sleeper sofa, separate soaking tubs, and balconies.Insider Tip:
In warmer months, have the hotel procure you a picnic basket and a sporty S-series for a tour of the area’s covered bridges.
