The hotel is a little over two years old, and is a big difference between the many historic B&B's in the area. If you are looking for first class accommodations and service, the Kimpton Taconic Hotel is for you.
They have an afternoon beer and wine social hour from 5 - 6 pm. We took our drinks outside and sat by the fire pit. It was a lovely evening.
The Copper Grouse tavern is located inside the hotel. Make sure you make a reservation in the busy season. We didn't, so we drove down the street to Season's restaurant and had a nice meal at the bar.
Located nearby is the Orvis Flagship Store.
A popular place for breakfast nearby is Up For Breakfast. Plan on a wait.
Across the street is cute shopping at Spring & Harbor.
Manchester has been known as a destination for outlet shopping, but that's changing, and you can find more locally owned stores around.
