15 hotels3 rated 4.5+2,124 guest reviews

Staying in Laconia

Most cluster along Weirs Boulevard, the road that runs beside Lake Winnipesaukee and its Weirs Beach shoreline, where addresses such as 867, 1086, 1192 and 109 Weirs Boulevard place hotels within sight of the water. The remaining properties sit on side streets and residential lanes within Laconia itself — Mentor Ave., Watson Rd, Academy Street, Railroad Avenue, Lucerne Ave, Endicott Street North and Tree Top Circle — away from the resort strip. The Weirs Boulevard group suits couples and families who want a private beach, a pool or a lake view within a short drive. The inland addresses suit guests who prefer a quieter base, a cottage or a B&B, and easy access by car to the rest of the town. Business travellers are served best by the properties with meeting rooms and 24-hour front desks.
