A Vermont hotel was just named among the best in the world

A Vermont hotel nestled in the Green Mountains was just named among the best on the planet by Conde Nast Traveler.

The travel publication released its 2025 Gold List on Wednesday, naming the best hotels and resorts in the world, and included the Woodstock Inn & Resort in Woodstock, Vermont. It is billed as “Vermont’s most beautiful address.”

The publication’s 31st annual list features 72 hotels and resorts worldwide.

“We highlight them not only for their beauty, comfort, or impeccable service, but also because we’ve developed deeply emotional relationships with them: These are the hotels and cruises we recommend to our friends, that we tell stories about later,” wrote the publication about its picks.

The Woodstock Inn & Resort, a member of Historic Hotels of America, dates back to 1793.

Here is what Conde Nast Traveler wrote about Woodstock Inn & Resort:

Grand, but not fussy. Of another era, but far from old-fashioned. The Woodstock Inn & Resort is the Goldilocks property that’s managed to evolve with the times while maintaining its quintessential New England charm. Situated across from the town green, the Federal-style mansion feels like a Norman Rockwell reverie. Inside, the cozy lobby serves as a communal living room where guests read newspapers. Outside, families toast s’mores around fire pits and play lawn games. Regular updates to the 200-plus-year-old hotel, including a glow-up of all 142 rooms and the addition of a Scandi-chic spa, ensure that loyal East Coasters keep returning for generations.
