The striking four-pearl Innside Manchester is part of the new First Street development, so there's plenty of entertainment all around, and it's a short stroll into the city center. It's a smart, modern hotel with a bright cafeteria-style restaurant that's popular with locals. There's a small gym, spa treatments, and several conference rooms, so it's a favorite for business travelers too. The 208 rooms are smart, and done up in sleek, dark decor and include free Wi-Fi and soft drinks. Premium Rooms and Suites add Illy coffeemakers, but trendy open-plan bathrooms in all categories won't suit everyone. Those looking for a more traditional layout and a bit more character could consider Abode Manchester. It has a more central location, though lacks the neighborhood vibe of the First Street area.

The Vermont Inn is a historic, family-run property in tiny Mendon, located halfway between Killington Ski Resort and Rutland. It has classic New England decor throughout and an overall cozy feel, but common spaces could use refreshing. Rooms are homey if not luxurious, and vary in size and configuration. They all have small flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and clean bathrooms, and some have features such as four-poster beds, fireplaces, and jetted tubs. The pub offers a wonderful breakfast that is included in the nightly rate; for lunch and dinner, guests must go elsewhere. The property was featured on the Travel Channel show Hotel Impossible, during which it received an upgraded, shabby-chic look in the Bridal Suite and improved landscaping on the grounds.

The mid-range Inn at Manchester is a charming family-owned country inn set on well-maintained grounds within one mile of the town center and its designer shopping outlets. Inviting, cozy interiors, complete with brick fireplaces, include a lounge and living room with books and board games, plus there's a bar. A hearty homemade breakfast is included in rates, and guests have 24/7 access to a pantry with free coffee/tea and baked goods. Other features include a small outdoor pool and event space. The 21 guest rooms differ in size (some are small) and feature country-chic decor, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa is an alternative in the area that's much pricier, but includes more on-site facilities, like a spa, fitness center, golf course, and four restaurants.

This 96-room lodge has become a destination unto itself, not just for its excellent amenities and impressive views, but for its rich history. The charming property is still run by the famous Trapp family, whose story was told in the movie The Sound of Music, and original memorabilia from past generations is displayed everywhere. Rooms, though large, bright and comfortable, have fairly bland cottage-style decor. But there’s a lot to do on-site -- the hotel has three restaurants, a brewery and bakery, a fitness center, and three pools (including an adults-only option).

Dating back to 1769 when it first opened as a lodging house, the Equinox Golf Resort & Spa is a historic property set on 1,300 acres of spectacular grounds with the Green Mountains as a backdrop. This four-and-a-half-pearl resort, with 195 rooms, is a collection of five different buildings, including the 1811 House, once the home of Abraham Lincoln’s granddaughter. On-site is an 18-hole golf course, a 75-foot indoor swimming pool, full-service spa, and a fishing and shooting school. There’s a wide variety of accommodations available, and room sizes and amenities vary widely. Standard Rooms can be small, Townhouse Suites include full kitchens and fireplaces, and Dormy House is a self-contained three-bedroom house. The Green Mountains area doesn't lack for accommodations, but the Equinox Golf Resort & Spa is in a class of its own, with no other properties rivaling the architectural splendor, level of luxury, and amenities offered here.

The Inn at the Round Barn Farm has a serene location with more than 245 acres of rolling green hills in every direction. It has a decidedly romantic ambiance, with rooms that have Jacuzzi tubs and/or working fireplaces. Unfortunately, bathrooms are small throughout, and many rooms have showers only. Having a small indoor pool and fitness center (though technically it's only a few cardio machines) is a true B&B rarity in these parts, but the real draws here are the peaceful ambiance, romantic and cozy experience, incredible views, and fresh air.

Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport’s biggest draw is its location. It's just a two-minute drive to the airport and train station, and the hotel provides free 24-hour shuttle service. The three-pearl property has a restaurant on-site that serves breakfast (fee) and dinner, and there's 24-hour room service, a fitness center, and a lobby bar. The hotel's spacious 365 guest rooms are tidy, though not all have AC, and only about half have been updated with contemporary decor. All have flat-screen TVs, kettles with free tea, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Some past guests have complained about long lines at registration and hearing airport noise from rooms. Travelers looking for a budget hotel nearby can consider Premier Inn Manchester Airport (M56/J6) Runger Lane North, where all units are air-conditioned.

The West Hill House is a cozy and homey -- if not quite luxurious -- bed-and-breakfast escape. Each room is different, and all have plenty of space, comfortable beds, and working fireplaces. It's the B&B style of service that makes this place stand out: Details ranging from innkeeper Peter's well-stocked wine cellar, to the mug warmer, to the three-course breakfasts, really make the experience. It's also very close to Sugarbush Ski and Golf resort, although many of Vermont's other tourist attractions are a one-hour drive or more away.

Nestled among the Green Mountains in the Northeast Kingdom, the mid-range Jay Peak Resort is a self-contained, all-seasons complex with a wide array of family-friendly features. Accommodation options range from hotel rooms to multi-room suites and spacious ski-in/ski-out condos with full kitchens, all featuring flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning.

Though it is probably better suited to families, the resort also draws couples and business travelers with a large conference center, spa, gym, and fun year-round events, such as music shows and brew festivals. Travelers wanting to be closer to Stowe should consider Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa.
