"You don’t have to go very far outside of Boston to find a perfectly idyllic seaside town — Portsmouth, New Hampshire is full of shops, restaurants, cafés, and at least one delightful little boutique hotel. Massachusetts-based Lark Hotels took over this 1881-vintage Victorian house and turned it into The Hotel, whose 32 rooms effortlessly blend the 19th-century charm of the existing structure and a light, contemporary, modernist-inspired style that’s a breath of fresh air in a region where tradition, in hotels and design alike, still reigns supreme." - Tablet Hotels
