Where to Have a Mother’s Day Getaway in New England

Country inns and city hotels throughout New England make it easy for family travelers to give mom a getaway for Mother’s Day. These are a few with packages or special Mother’s Day features:

Overlooking the beach between Ogunquit’s lively downtown and idyllic Perkins Cove, The Colonial Inn is a southern Maine favorite. A Mother’s Day package includes a bouquet of sweet-scented flowers, box of chocolates, bottle of red wine and a Mother’s Day card.

Farther north on Maine’s scenic coast, The Camden Harbor Inn welcomes mothers with a weekend package beginning with a six-course tasting menu at Natalie’s, a mimosa à la carte breakfast, a Mother’s Day Culinary Station Brunch, Leonidas Chocolates, Lego Icons Love Art, and a bag of candy from the Candy Shoppe and Lounge.

In the heart of New Hampshire’s most popular tourist region, The White Mountain Hotel is a contemporary resort embodying the spirit of the grand hotel era. Rooms overlook mountain views, and the dining room is surrounded by windows, assuring a view from any table. The Mother’s Day weekend package includes dinner, breakfast and the Grand Sunday Brunch Buffet on Mother’s Day, plus a spa treatment at the on-property spa.

On New Hampshire’s seacoast, mom can enjoy more sweeping views across Portsmouth’s wide Piscataqua River when you treat her to a three-course Mother’s Day brunch on the Rooftop at the Envio. After complimentary mimosas, she can select from an alluring menu featuring crab and lobster fritters, smoked salmon benedict and other house specialties. The restaurant adjoins downtown AC Hotel Portsmouth, an upscale choice for a seacoast stay.

For a decadent city weekend, choose the Mother’s Day package at The Eliot Hotel, in the heart of Boston’s stylish Back Bay. She’ll find flowers and Champagne when she arrives in the sitting room of her elegantly decorated suite. Valet parking and continental breakfast for two are included in the Mother’s Day package, as is a signature The Eliot Hotel bathrobe as a take-home gift. Late check-out leaves time for a leisurely walk to enjoy the spring gardens along Commonwealth Avenue.

Deep in Vermont’s Green Mountains, treat mom to an elegant Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea at The Inn at Round Barn Farm in Waitsfield. The proper British tea service features savory tea sandwiches, fresh-baked scones and a selection of sweets, all made in-house by the innkeeper. The B&B takes its name from the huge round barn, one of the few remaining in New England, and is a historic landmark.
