The Best Hotels Near Flag Leaf Bakery, by the Record

  1. On the shores of Lake Sunapee, this boutique hotel from the Lark Hotels group sits just outside Newbury with a look that's rustic without being shabby and modern without feeling like it was dropped from a city. The rooms lean into the landscape rather than apologizing for it, and the adventurous streak suits the area's hiking, skiing, and lake life. A Michelin Selected Hotel, and the kind of New Hampshire weekend that's easier to pitch than to explain.


  2. 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.
