SHOP

The award-winning, historic Church Street Marketplace is a pedestrian mall in the heart of downtown Burlington, with over 130 specialty shops, services, restaurants, and vendors. Church Street is less than a five-minute walk from the room-block hotels.


Feeling wholesome

The Island Line Trail is a bustling 7.6-mile recreational route that runs along the Lake Champlain shoreline, offering wonderful views of the lake and the Adirondack Mountains.

The pathed and flat trail is less than a five-minute walk from all the room block hotels. Google directions to the Waterfront Park to find the pathway. The pathway is prettiest if you head north — aka head right when looking at the lake.

GET OUT ON (or in) THE WATER

Burlington is right on Lake Champlain so bring a bathing suit! North Beach Campground and Park is a swimming ground that is within walking distance from the room-block hotels (you can find it if you go north on the Island Line Trail).

Check out Burlington Surf Club for paddleboarding, swimming, morning yoga by the lake and more.

Or, you can check Google about renting a boat for water skiing, tubing or just floating.


Take a hike

Mt. Philo is a thirty-minute drive south from the hotel room blocks and offers breathtaking views of the Lake Champlain Valley and New York’s Adirondack Mountains. This short, moderate hike will take about 1 - 1.5 hours and afterward, you can reward yourself with an outing at Fiddlehead Brewing Company in Shelburne, VT.
