Concord's Colonial Inn

The main building of the Colonial Inn has overlooked Monument Square since 1716. Additions since it became a hotel in 1889 have made the inn large enough to offer modern conveniences and small enough to feel friendly. Like many historic inns, it's not luxurious, but it is comfortable, centrally located, and possibly haunted. The 15 original guest rooms are in great demand; the most popular, no. 24, supposedly is home to a ghost. Reserve early if you want to stay in the main inn, which is decorated in colonial style. Rooms in the 1970 Prescott House have country-style decor, as do the one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites (available for long-term stays) in four freestanding buildings. The amenities, variety of rooms, and accommodating staff make the inn popular with business travelers as well as vacationers, especially during foliage season.

The two lounges serve light meals; ask for an outdoor table, and you'll have a front-row seat for the action on Monument Square. The restaurant serves salads, sandwiches, and pasta at lunch and traditional American fare at dinner. Afternoon tea ($16 or $25 per person) is served Saturday and Sunday; reservations (tel. 978/369-2373) are required.

Facilities:
Restaurant (American); 2 lounges; bar w/live music on weekends; concierge; executive-level rooms; access to nearby health club ($10)
