About TOURISTS Welcome
TOURISTS WELCOME is a hospitality development & management group based in North Adams, MA delivering memorable experiences by connecting guests with breathtaking nature, timeless leisure, local history, and art and music happenings.
In 2018, we opened TOURISTS, a 46-room flagship hotel modernizing the aesthetic of a classic American motor lodge. The land on which the hotel sits straddles the Hoosic River, revealing a network of walking trails, and forest clearings designed for year-round exploration guided by our on-site Art & Adventure team. In 2019, we opened our second project, The Airport Rooms, an on-site restaurant & cocktail lounge for hotel guests and the community to enjoy.
With an unquenchable interest in the natural history of the region and a goal of providing an economic engine for local employment, TOURISTS WELCOME continues to evolve in and outside of North Adams, with new projects coming soon.
