If new accommodations are what you’re after, Esquire says three New England hotels are well worth booking this year.

The publication just named the best new hotels in the world for 2025 and included Longfellow Hotel and The Nevada, both in Maine, and Twin Farms in Vermont.

With an increase in new hotel projects in recent months — about 6,000 in development worldwide and plans for 10,000 more — there’s plenty to choose from, wrote Esquire, which comprised a list of the 42 best new and upgraded properties based on visits by editors and contributors.

Maine’s Longfellow Hotel in Portland, a 48-room boutique hotel named after Portland native and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, opened in 2024.

Esquire called the hotel “a place where you sip martinis in a cozy lobby bar as the Maine sun sets through giant picture windows. Where afternoons evaporate in a sauna suite (yes! suite!) while you drink tea in a plush robe.”

The hotel was named one of the best designed new hotels in the world by Architectural Digest and a must-visit spot in 2025 by USA Today readers.

The Nevada in York, a recently upgraded hotel built in 1951, was one of Maine’s first motels, wrote Esquire.

“The 21 rooms are sun-flooded and airy. Each with a king-size bed and a view onto Long Sands Beach,” wrote the publication. “Each boasts a private terrace, from which to watch the sun’s nightly and almost absurdly beautiful show at a stately remove.”

Twin Farms in Barnard, Vermont, which first opened in 1993 and offers 28 suites and cottages on more than 300 acres of woodlands and meadows, has added treehouses to its property.

“Not only are they more luxurious than standard hotel suites, but they are roomier than my first one-bedroom apartment,” wrote Esquire. “The all-marble bathroom features heated floors and a soaking tub in front of a massive window framing the forest.”

Last year, Twin Farms was named among the 50 best resorts in America by U.S. News & World Report.
