Staying in North Conway
North Conway is a small New England town in the White Mountains, and despite its size it offers a wide range of accommodations, from motels and inns to full-service resorts. The town is a gateway to Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, and its compact centre is walkable, with shops and restaurants along Main Street. Fall foliage, winter sports and summer hiking all draw visitors here.
Most hotels on this list sit along the White Mountain Highway corridor, the town's main approach road, while a few lie on the quieter Kearsarge Road near Cranmore Mountain. Distances to the centre range from 0.3 km to 7.1 km, so some addresses are a short walk from Main Street and others need a car. The mix suits couples on a short break, families who want pools and playgrounds, and business travellers who need fitness centres and business centres.
