The Best Hotels Near Four Columns Inn & Restaurant, by the Record

  1. Bulgari toiletries and French linens in a white-clapboard Vermont inn on a classic village green is a combination that shouldn't work but somehow does. Rooms feel renovated without feeling scrubbed of their old farmhouse warmth, and a small spa hides in a cottage on the grounds. The on-site restaurant leans hard into local sourcing, which feels right given the inn's history with the idea. Selected by the Michelin Guide.


  2. The kidney-shaped pool alone explains why someone brought a camera crew. The Springs Motel is a restored mid-century motor inn on Route 7 in the Berkshires, the kind of place that got a boutique makeover and then had that makeover filmed for TV. Cabins handle the larger groups, while the outdoor bar trailer and generous lawn keep everyone else occupied. It photographs well, and it holds up in person too.
