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. Our 46-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 adventure.
TOURISTS HOMES re-enliven a cluster of 19th-century houses in Blackinton Historic District, the former mill village just north of our hotel. Stay awhile at 1388 or 1392 Mass Ave and enjoy all the comforts of home, or check out The Manor, our classic bed & breakfast across the street at 1391 Mass Ave.
