About The Red Lion:

The Red Lion Inn has been welcoming travelers to the Berkshires for more than two centuries. The Inn offers 125 individually decorated guestrooms, elegant and casual dining, live entertainment nightly, a year-round heated outdoor pool & hot tub, and shopping at The Red Lion Gift Shop (featuring Berkshire-made items) and flagship Country Curtains Store. One of the few New England inns operating continuously since the 18th century, The Red Lion is convenient to the numerous cultural and outdoor attractions in the Berkshires, including The Berkshire Theatre Festival, Tanglewood (summer home of the Boston Symphony), The Norman Rockwell Museum and Chesterwood.  A short drive brings you to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, the Sterling & Francine Clark Art Museum, MASS MoCA and more. The Inn is proud to practice eco-sustainability - from the kitchen to housekeeping to company-wide initiatives and won the Massachusetts Lodging Association's Good Earthkeeping award and recognition from National Geographic Traveler. The Inn The Red Lion is a charter member of Historic Hotels of America and belongs to the New England Innkeeper and Resorts Association and Original Historic Inns of New England.

About Porches:

The spectacularly located and formerly overlooked city of North Adams is being revitalized through ART—cutting edge, contemporary art, no less! And it has called to a few of us in a big way. Our hook was the block of seriously dilapidated but sturdily built, beautifully detailed Victorian row houses that dominate the view from Building Five, MASS MoCA’s vast splendid exhibition space.

Porches, you see, was inspired by MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) the visionary array of galleries and performance spaces taking root in a sprawling 19th-century mill complex. Phase I of MASS MoCA, 300,000 square feet of award-winning renovation completed in 1999, celebrates artists of today and the best of their big ideas.

Porches is the most visible manifestation, to-date, of the changes sparked by MASS MoCA. Its 47 rooms of retro-edgy, industrial granny chic ambiance make a spirited lodging statement in New England and beyond. Leisure travelers surrender to total comfort and attitude-free service while itinerant techies avail themselves of WiFi connections and bandwidth galore.

Imaginative renovation includes long verandas and bold inside/outside spaces. The interiors mix striking, colorful style with homage to the generations of mill workers’ families who lived here. The inn and its amenities…breakfast, the pool and more, are outlined a few clicks away...along with the rich attractions of this unique region.
