Berkshires and Pioneer Valley welcome romantic vacationers

Is it history that gives the Hotel on North its romantic aura? Or is it the boutique hotel’s smooth urban vibe? Perhaps its the combination of the two: elegant one-of-a-kind rooms with clawfoot tubs and curated artwork; chic textiles and tin ceilings. It’s easy to see why couples find it perfect for romantic getaways. It’s about snuggling by a fireplace in a room with views of North Street and the mountains beyond, or sipping a cocktail in an exquisite birdcage elevator. Or relaxing with coffee in a sunlit atrium, then dining later at a quiet table in the Berkshire Palate. And, of course, it’s the Berkshires, a romantic region with great theater, music, dining, antiquing, shopping and outdoor activities from skiing (and horse-drawn sleigh rides) to kayaking on pristine lakes.
