2 Best Hotels in Brattleboro, Southern Vermont

Thoughtful and comforting details abound in this 1931 French-style manse such as the mini-refrigerator and basket stocked with complimentary soda, water, granola bars, and snacks, as well as gas fireplaces in several guest rooms. Out back, a large landscaped lawn charms with a central fountain, gazebo, and deck with firepit and seating. Trails lead from here to neighboring Retreat Farm, a bird sanctuary, and West River views.

Though not lavish, the guest rooms in this 1938 art deco building have the original sinks and tiling in the bathrooms, and many overlook Main Street, with New Hampshire's mountains in the background. The lobby has original and notably colorful terrazzo floors, and downstairs you can catch a movie under the zodiac ceiling of the Latchis Theatre or walk a few blocks to most of Brattleboro's shops, restaurants, and pubs.
