In the late '90s, North Adams, Mass., a forgotten mill town set against the scenic Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, became a haven for technology companies and was infused with new vigor. Sparked by the visionary efforts of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, which has renovated parts of a sprawling mill complex, Porches represents a new twist on hospitality. Comprising a block of late 19th-century Victorian rowhouses, Porches is an up-to-the-minute inn that still honors the spirit of the mill workers who lived and labored here for decades. The use of bold color and simple design elements lend an air of chic hominess that appeals to weekend escapists and high-tech business travelers alike. The inn is named for its most notable feature - the long verandas that link the six separate structures and afford guests ample opportunity for lounging, reading or rocking.

The Porches Inn, a member of Historic Hotels of America since 2002, is located in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, in the city of North Adams just off the Mohawk Trail. The renowned Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts (known as MASS MoCA) is only a few steps away. Two hours west of Boston on historic Route 2 - The Mohawk Trail. Across the street from the Mass MoCA. Mt. Greylock, theaters, Williams College and Clark Art Museum are nearby.
