When planning your honeymoon in Lexington and Concord, the first thing you should consider is where you plan to stay. Yes, there is an abundance of affordable hotels in the Greater Merrimack Valley, from Hiltons to Marriotts. However, your honeymoon should be a special time, so if you’re looking to make it a bit more sophisticated and unique, you should consider a non-chain hotel.
Fancy destination honeymoons to tropical islands are nice, but few things are more romantic and intimate than a cozy room in a historic New England inn. You can enjoy upscale amenities while still being within driving range of some of the area’s top restaurants, museums, and attractions.
Concord’s Colonial Inn
If you like quaint, cozy, and with a style that’s a good mix between historic and modern, you’ll find no better accommodations than Concord’s Colonial Inn. You can choose from an assortment of unique guest rooms, many of which boast hardwood floors, exposed beams, and period details that will give the room a more romantic feel while still offering modern conveniences like complimentary Wi-Fi, and flat-screen HD TVs. Several of the rooms in the historic main inn date back to the 1700s and offer a true colonial experience.
Nestled in the original part of the Inn is the premier honeymoon suite – the Thoreau Suite. The suite features a king-sized bed, an open concept living and dining area, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with a dual vanity sink, stand up shower, and jacuzzi. It’s beautifully decorated with romantic, period-inspired furnishings that give the room a unique, New England charm.
The Inn’s on-site restaurants continue with the refined but charming aesthetic you’ll want for your honeymoon. For delicious, made-to-order, fresh, all-American fare, grab a table at Liberty. This stunning restaurant’s history is as rich as the food. Meanwhile, Merchants Row is a beautiful dining room perfect for a special night out. Enjoy a great bottle of wine and exceptional service in a quieter, gracious room, surrounded by 300 years of living history.
The Inn at Hastings Park
The Inn at Hastings Park is a boutique Inn with a distinctly New England feel. The Boston area’s only Relais & Châteaux property, the Inn features 22 stylishly luxurious accommodations that merge Lexington’s historic heritage and architecture with a contemporary American chic design.
For your honeymoon, consider booking the King Suite, which is the largest room at the Inn. This sunlit, two-room corner suite is located on the top floor of the Main House and overlooks the beautiful Hastings Park. The master bedroom showcases an elegant king bed dressed in the finest cotton linens while the sitting room features a fireplace and a state-of-the-art sleeper sofa. The marble bathroom is spacious with a spa-inspired rain shower.
If you’re keeping your honeymoon short to accommodate a busy lifestyle, consider booking the Revolutionary Romance Package to make it extra special. You and your spouse will enjoy a romantic, overnight stay in a luxurious room, with a complimentary upgrade to the best available room at check-in. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a chilled bottle of bubbly, house-made chocolate-covered strawberries, and a $100 food and beverage credit so you can dine out at one of Lexington’s amazing local restaurants.
Don’t think your honeymoon needs to be out of the country to be memorable. New England, especially historic Lexington and Concord, can make an amazing honeymoon getaway, and the beautiful inns lend that special charm that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
