Top Lodging From Hotels & Inns In Western Mass

Historic Hotels in Western Mass

Western Mass is studded with cultural gems, from living history museums like Historic Deerfield to Revolutionary and Civil War sites and monuments.  As you travel along the mile-long Old Main Street through this historic village, you’ll be taken back in time. The Deerfield Inn resides on this tree-lined street, nestled between gorgeous homes from the 18^th and 19^th-century, two schools, and three working farms. This most rural part of Massachusetts was the heart of colonial America, and Deerfield is the best-documented small town in America.

Exploring the past can be richly rewarding for travelers visiting the area. Why not take it a step farther, though, and fully immerse yourself in the beauty and tradition of our historic communities? After exploring Old Sturbridge Village, for example, treat yourself to a stay at the on-site Old Sturbridge Inn & Reeder Family Lodges or take part in an immersive overnight experience that truly allows you to see how people of the past spent their days and nights.

An added bonus: Just because the hotels have endured the test of time, that doesn’t mean they’re still living in the past. The lodging rooms at these historic spots are sumptuously appointed, with linens so fluffy you won’t want to budge from your bed.

Who says you can’t combine business and pleasure? If you’re traveling for work or planning a conference or event, Western Mass offers beautiful, convenient places to stay.

Some of our favorites really do allow you to multitask during your excursions. As an example, Hotel UMass offers conveniently located, comfortable conference spaces and hotel rooms, while also providing access to the beauty of the UMass Amherst campus and the Pioneer Valley. The same goes for Willits-Hallowell Conference Center and Hotel, which is nestled among the sugar maples and white pines of Mount Holyoke College.

Another added perk of staying at a college campus hotel can be the access to world-class fitness facilities, which you’ll certainly want to consider taking advantage of after indulging in some of Western Mass’s delightfully delectable restaurants.
