Character and identity
Fifteen minutes outside Boston in colonial Lexington, this Relais & Châteaux inn occupies three meticulously restored historic buildings: the 1888 Main House, the 1841 Isaac Mulliken House (built for a local politician), and The Barn (originally Mulliken's carpentry shop). Across the trio sit 22 rooms and suites, some with fireplaces, dressed by New England designers and artisans during the 2014 restoration in a palette that pairs traditional bones with surprising bursts of colour. The Main House holds the Town Meeting Bistro, a farm-to-table dining room, plus a library, sitting room and intimate bar. Steps from the Lexington Battle Green.
Who's it for
Best for:
History-minded travellers and design literates who want a small, residential-scale inn rather than a city hotel. Couples on a New England weekend will get the most from it: walk the Battle Green, borrow the complimentary bikes for the 11-mile Minuteman Bikeway to Concord, and tour the Emerson and Alcott houses nearby.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone who wants to be in central Boston, or who expects a full resort footprint with spa, pool and multiple restaurants. Families needing kids' programming, business travellers chasing downtown convenience, and guests who prefer contemporary high-rise polish over restored historic quarters should book in the city instead.
Bottom line
The appeal here is the Relais & Châteaux pedigree applied to a genuinely historic Lexington setting, not a Boston address. Book it as a Revolutionary-history getaway with excellent breakfast (included, along with parking and bikes) rather than a base for the city. Couples should target a Main House room with a fireplace; autumn foliage and spring battle reenactment season are the windows to plan around.
