"Just 90 minutes north of New York City, the Delamar is a perfect weekend escape with on-site spa (using Biologique Recherche products) and destination restaurant, Artisan, under French chef Frederic Kieffer. Check-in begins with a glass of sherry or port, and rooms contain an attractive mix of traditional New England furnishings and colorful modern art. Added bonus: Given that the hotel is an easy, seven-minute walk from the nearest Metro North rail station, there's no need for a car to gallery-hop or to explore Southport's historic downtown." - CNT Editors
