Centennial

New Hampshire


This turn-of-the-20th-century turreted Victorian landmark has 32 luxurious rooms and suites. Stylish minimalism prevails, with subdued earth tones, deluxe bedding, trim furnishings, black-and-white artwork, and vessel-bowl sinks in the granite bathrooms. Several rooms are set in the turret, while the best have private outdoor porches. The hotel and its fine-dining, New American restaurant, the Granite are popular with business travelers.
