TOURISTS Welcome: a Reimagined Motor-Lodge in North Adams, MA

By Hannah Crisafulli|2025-12-15T21:27:32+00:00November 20th, 2025|Escape Club Stays|

Tucked between the Berkshires and the Hoosic River, TOURISTS Welcome is a 46-room riverside lodge that reimagines the classic American roadside motel through a design-forward lens. Inspired by 1960s motor lodges and the area’s industrial past, the low-slung buildings feature warm white oak cladding, contemporary interiors, and expansive windows that blur indoor and outdoor space. Rooms are spare but intentional, with custom-built furnishings, built-in benches, and woven textiles that nod to regional craft. Trails begin on site and meander into forested hills, while a saltwater pool, fire pits, and art sculptures add a layer of quiet luxury to this outdoorsy retreat.

A Guide to Big Sur, CA

By Hannah Crisafulli|2025-12-10T21:20:37+00:00August 27th, 2022|Destination Guides|
