The Garrison Hotel

Fans of HGTV before-and-after shows will love wandering the repurposed building that now goes by The Garrison Hotel. The new 66-room boutique getaway in Dover, N.H. welcomes guests in June 2017 with a space that captures the “essence of Dover’s rich history and modern-day neighborhood charm.”

You’ll immediately feel welcomed when you set eyes on the hotel’s relaxed communal spaces, each designed with a nod to the city’s past in shipbuilding, mercantilism, and community spirit. The center of social activity revolves around the hotel lobby, where guests can take a seat at the communal table, relax in the sitting area, or enjoy the fireplace. For those who’d rather spend free moments outdoors, the patio is the perfect perch for a morning cup of coffee. When the sun sets, the fire pit beckons guests to mingle year-round. Whether you’re traveling with one person or the entire family, the hotel has a comfortable space for every situation. Rooms range from standard to king-sized to meet the needs of every traveler (and their furry family members!). Keep on top of exercise routines or plain ol’ fun with the indoor swimming pool and on-site fitness facility. Once you make yourself at home, experience one of the hotel’s best assets — the location! You're just one mile from downtown Dover and a short drive to the small city of Portsmouth, N.H. for shopping, historic sightseeing, and seacoast explorations.

Newest Hotel Renovations in New England

Everyone loves a good makeover — including hotel properties. They may not be the newest hotels in the New England neighborhood, but four properties have undergone updates that’ll have frequent guests doing a doubletake.

Inn by the Sea

Want one exciting reason to revisit Inn by the Sea? We can give you a dozen. To kick off the 2017 summer season, this Cape Elizabeth, Maine inn is unveiling twelve newly-constructed, two-bedroom suites. Perfect for families and friends, ten of the new suites have two separate bedrooms for cozy sleeping quarters. Ample indoor and outdoor entertaining space encourages guests to take advantage of family game nights or dining on the deck.  For getaways that call for some added extravagance, the two remaining new suites put coastal luxury front and center. The 1,300 square foot suites offer two bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a fully loaded kitchen and large living room. An indoor/outdoor fireplace and deck overlooking the Atlantic set the perfect scene for those romantic getaways and celebratory moments.

Sun & Ski Inn and Suites

On your next visit to Sun & Ski Inn and Suites, it may be wise to pack the bowling shoes (or at least brush up on those strike skills). A major extension project is the latest card to come from the Stowe, Vt. hotel’s bag of tricks. Guests are welcomed by a totally refreshed hotel lobby as well as an improved fitness area, breakfast room, and 15 new rooms. One of the most striking additions to the property is the new eight-lane boutique bowling lounge. Stowe Bowl brings a classic game night to new levels with excellent food, a full bar, and a mesmerizingly modern audio-visual experience.

Higgins Beach Inn

Follow the waves of change to Higgins Beach Inn for the perfect balance of historic charm and modern comfort. The Scarborough, Maine inn has undergone impressive interior renovations, with guest comfort at the forefront. Several brand new rooms were added to the first floor for convenient, stair-free access. Each quaintly cozy guestroom has grown in size and charm with new plush king or queen beds, plus private bathrooms. The delectable on-site dining keeps getting tastier with a re-envisioned menu alongside an expanded bar area and newly constructed three season porch to pair a meal with soothing ocean sounds.

Whether you’re planning a visit for the first time or wish to see the new and improved properties in person, this is just a slice of updates happening in the area. From updated decor to full expansions, New England hotels are always getting better and better.
