Making history feel like home.
Each of the 113 guest rooms on this property has been lovingly restored while preserving as much of the building's history as possible.

Later in the day, take advantage of the property's prime location and explore the dining options in nearby downtown Blackstone. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, plan a picnic on the picturesque hotel grounds. If you'd prefer to stay in, be sure to book a room equipped with a full kitchen, so you can whip up your own culinary masterpiece from the privacy of your room!
