Parents

A trio of cozy New England hotels offer attractive winter packages perfect for parents who’d like a short getaway for two. Take your choice of snow-covered mountains, ocean views or attractions of a small college town.

 

Glen House Hotel
Facing New England’s tallest mountain and the snow-covered peaks of New Hampshire’s White Mountains, The Glen House Hotel promises warm hospitality with its Snow in Love package. Play outdoors at Great Glen Trails, take a ride up the ice-covered slopes of Mount Washington on SnowCoach, wrap in blankets to sit around the fire pit, or stay inside where it’s warm and enjoy the cocktails included in the two-night stay. The package is valid through March 31.

 

Inn by the Sea
The Winter Special at Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, offers an 18 percent discount for a two-night stay through March 31. Luxurious rooms and glorious ocean views combine with a sea-to-table restaurant known as one of Maine’s best. You may want to spend an extra day to enjoy the inn’s luxurious spa after long bracing walks on the beach. Or just relax at the spa without going outdoors at all. From Feb. 14 to 28, celebrate Valentine’s Day with a two-night package beginning with a welcome bottle of Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries upon arrival. Daily breakfast and a $100 credit toward dining at the inn’s romantic Sea Glass restaurant is also included.

 

Hanover Inn Dartmouth
The New England Romance package at Hanover Inn Dartmouth is perfect for art lovers, who can immerse themselves in the galleries of adjacent Hood Museum of Art. Hanover’s classy boutiques and bookstores are just as close, and rooms overlook the broad Dartmouth Green and college campus. Savor dinner at the inn’s farm-to-table restaurant, PINE, and linger over two signature cocktails and an appetizer included in the offer. If you go in early February, see ice and snow sculptures adorning the campus during Dartmouth’s Winter Carnival.
