The Porches Inn at MASS MoCA

Once a forgotten mill town, North Adams was revived in the late 1990s when technology companies finally took notice of the area and brought new life to the old mill. Inspired by the exemplary work of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), which renovated parts of a sprawling mill complex, the Porches Inn exhibits a fresh perspective when it comes to hospitality. Composed of an entire block of late 19th century row houses, Porches Inn offers modern lodging that still honors the essence of the mill workers who lived and worked here for so many years. The use of daring color and simplistic design elements lend an air of chic comfort that appeals to weekend vacationers and business travelers alike. The Porches Inn is named for it's most distinctive feature, the sweeping verandas that connect the six individual structures and provide plenty of opportunities for lounging, reading, rocking and relaxing on vacations and getaways.
