The Best Hotels Near Maracas Dominican Restaurant, by the Record
-
An old tavern in Bucks County farm country, about an hour from Philadelphia, that has been turned into a boutique hotel without being stripped of its bones. The building has been around forever, and the team has leaned into that with a modern-retro style that's theatrical without tipping into theme park. Good for a weekend when the city stops making sense and you need a road that narrows before it gets quiet.

Deer drift down from the hills at dusk to feed just outside the lounge windows, and guests tend to go quiet when it happens. This Pocono Mountains resort pairs soaring wood-and-stone architecture with marble and warm timber inside, fireplaces and velvet armchairs keeping things from tipping too far into lodge-grand. Many suites have private heated plunge pools, and the indoor-outdoor pool lets you swim while snow falls.
-
A Tudor mansion anchoring 500 acres in Somerset County, an hour from Manhattan, with the kind of pedigree that involves former Moroccan royal ownership and an organic farm feeding the on-site restaurants. Pendry Natirar is a full-scale resort, with a spa, tennis courts, a cooking school, and a private club. Rooms run to dark wood, marble, and deep-green accents. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
Ten rooms in the Poconos, which the owners call a "micro-hotel" with a straight face. What it is, more plainly, is a small boutique hotel that bets on the Poconos having a moment the way the Catskills have been having theirs for a while now. City comforts land in the middle of good northeastern Pennsylvania woods, near Promised Land State Park, for the East Coast urbanite who wants nature with decent bedding.
