Item Description

2 night mid-week (Sunday through Thursday) stay for two (2) at the artistic, savvy, shabby-chic, boutique Porches Inn in North Adams, Massachusetts.

 

The spectacularly located and formerly overlooked city of North Adams is being revitalized through ART; cutting edge, contemporary art, no less! And it has called to a few of us in a big way. Our hook was the block of seriously dilapidated but sturdily built, beautifully detailed Victorian row houses that dominate the view from Building Five, the vast splendid exhibition space of MASS MoCA.

 

Porches, you see, was inspired by MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.) Its 47 rooms of retro-edgy, industrial granny chic ambiance make a spirited lodging statement in New England and beyond. Leisure travelers surrender to total comfort and attitude-free service while itinerant techies avail themselves of WiFi connections and bandwidth galore. Imaginative renovation includes long verandas and bold inside/outside spaces. The interiors mix striking, colorful style with homage to the generations of mill workersÂÂ? who lived here.
