"The bracing air of the Berkshire hills, the pleasant vistas of green meadows and waving green fields, the picturesque drives in every direction, and the lordly mountains towering over all, make North Adams a delightful place in which to pass the summer months. Many people wearied by work and exhausted by the heat of the large cities annually come to this vicinity for rest and recreation. The reputation of the Berkshire hills as a health resort has for many years been growing, and more and more people come to North Adams each season to recuperate after a year of toil in the crowded and smoke infested cities." - September 5, 1909
TOURISTS is a hotel and riverside retreat inspired by the classic American roadside motor lodge, set on the banks of the Hoosic River in the Berkshires city of North Adams. Designed for the 21st century traveler, the 48-room property is a union of design and nature, home to woodland trails, riverbank vistas, sculptural installations and more. Using common, organic materials, your room is both haven and trailhead, connecting you with your vacation self and serving as a basecamp for exploration and adventure.
