The Best Pet Friendly Boutique Hotels in Massachusetts in 2026

While we’re sure actual Old Money might argue, this Harwich, Cape Cod boutique hotel feels like Old Money. Maybe it’s the golf, maybe it’s the boat charters, the tennis courts, the expanse of stately clapboard or the well-trimmed English garden. A bit bigger than your typical New England boutique, the resort has everything you need to enjoy the seaside to the utmost. You won’t have to leave the property, though the proximity to route 28 means that you can go exploring whenever you want. There are many activities that make… > Read Our Full Review

Great Barrington may not be the heart of the Berkshires, but if you want a heaping slice of Americana with your gourmet breakfast, Granville House Hotel is the place. Whatever preconceptions you had about ‘mom and pop’ B&Bs, put them away. This boutique hotel inn, run by former managers of a top-tier roster of New York restaurants, offers world-class hospitality. This, complemented by an enchanting sense of home that could only be offered by a family living their dream, places Granville House a cut above even your Frette-linened luxury Inns…. > Read Our Full Review

Beacon Hill is one of the most classic of all New England neighborhoods, and the Whitney boutique hotel matches its surroundings in class and elegance. The red-brick façade and orderly rows of windows reflect classic Boston architecture, but there’s some more contemporary flair here too. The decor is sophisticated and unobtrusive, grays and whites in stylish fabrics and soft leather. There’s substance here too though and the final result is a quietly polished hotel supported by strong service and an excellent concierge team.   What are the rooms like?

While it might not be the spot for every boutique hotel lover, this Cape Cod collection of airstream trailers, tents and tiny houses is a place for those who like a little adventure. Outside Falmouth, between the Frances A. Crane Wildlife Management Area, Little Sippewissett Marsh, and Woodneck Beach, the property is well-suited for any number of outdoor activities. If you like the ruggedness of camping, be forewarned, this is glamping at its best. Airstreams are absolutely set up, with plenty of seating, lots of natural light, and bathrooms made… > Read Our Full Review

On the border of Williamstown and North Adams, in a countryside that is a dream to drive around in, a roadside stop has a special type of appeal. Tourists Hotel is a newly-built, contemporary boutique hotel take on the theme, and it works beautifully. A lodge-style lobby and rooms that use wood grain as a decorative element strike a perfect balance of natural and design. With the Hoosic River in the backyard, you’ll enjoy Western Massachusetts’ gorgeous nature throughout your stay. The hotel property includes a suspension bridge that leads into… > Read Our Full Review

Greydon House is one more gorgeous boutique hotel in central Nantucket, Cape Cod, part of the Nantucket Historical District, though the property doesn’t really give the salty sea captain vibe you might expect. No, instead, the house takes its inspiration from the wide-ranging travels of the whaling trade for an eclectic design scheme that is no less appealing for being diverse. Indeed, the bespoke headboards, hand-painted imported tile, intricately patterned bed linens, retro phones and antique tables work perfectly to create something unique, chic and inviting. If you want 1800s… > Read Our Full Review

A 1925 institution, the ever-mysterious Hawthorne Hotel is a key part of both Salem’s Downtown and its mystique. A hotel for its entire existence, the Hawthorne is a classic Salem tourist stay. There are rumors of hauntings, and the hotel even made an appearance on Ghost Hunters. The Hawthorne though assures us that guests generally get to sleep uninterrupted. The decor waxes historical as well, but unfortunately not in such a charming fashion. It’s very hotel-y, with elaborate silver and white wallpaper and textiles that feel very 90’s does the… > Read Our Full Review

Originally the Fenway Motor Hotel, the cadre of refitted Airstream trailers and spotless leather couches are presumably new, but the atmosphere of this 1959 era Boston boutique hotel has been nicely preserved. It helps to know that the rock and roll theme is entirely authentic, this being a popular spot throughout the years for musicians playing at the House of Blues. The lobby is decked out like a movie-set recording studio and there’s a giant record collection for guests to play with. Let’s be honest: Fenway is not the place… > Read Our Full Review

As Lark Hotels continues its takeover of the New England boutique hotel scene in Falmouth, MA, their strategies for regional domination gain sophistication and delicacy. We submit as evidence this inn on the southwest corner of Cape Cod. Cute inns and hotels are nothing new for the area, but this renovated farmhouse has just the balance of upscale flair, modern simplicity and subtle nautical touch to stand out among the rest. It’s very much rich aunt, or your mom’s single friend who makes it look like her entire life was… > Read Our Full Review

Variety is said to be the spice of life, and the collection of buildings that is the Faraway Hotel in Nantucket’s Downtown is another good example. The hotel’s buildings hail from the 1800s to the 20-teens, and all are connected by a central courtyard. They have varying levels of historical prestige, and a pretty consistent charm. The architectural flavor of New England is so strong on Nantucket, the five work together well. It’s clapboard, shingles, and breezy porches everywhere you look. The interiors also do a fantastic job of melding… > Read Our Full Review

Guess what kind of clientele this North Adams row of Victorians-turned-boutique hotel attracts? Did you guess art lovers? You’d be correct. It’s actually spitting distance from the area’s most famous art museum, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, but we don’t recommend any spitting. It’s a cultured crowd, you see. Art lover or no, this Berkshires boutique inn is undeniably worth a visit. When else will you get to see such a street lined by identical Victorian townhouses? Each is painted slightly a different color though, so you know which… > Read Our Full Review
