Hotels Lowell

---

The city of Lowell, Massachusetts is about 40 minutes northwest of Boston, and is famous for being the first planned industrial city in the United States, as well as for its important historical background. The hotels Lowell offers provide an excellent access point to all attractions in the state, as well as the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Maine.

The earliest history of the area centered around the Pawtucket Falls and the Pennacook Indians, who planted crops and fished at the falls on a regular basis. Permanent European settlers started arriving in the late 17th century, and it wasn't long before farming was not enough to support the ever-increasing population. This led to the opening of the Pawtucket and Middlesex canals, which led the way for saw mills, glassworks, and spinning mills.

The Boston Manufacturing Company established by Francis Cabot Lowell in 1814 harnessed the power of the local waterways and revolutionized the textile industry. Boott Mill was the first Lowell textile mill. An extensive canal system was established in the city to create the first true American factory town. Unfortunately, the early 20th century's Great Depression saw a severe economic slump, resulting in unemployment and demolished buildings. However, much has been done in recent years to revitalize the city with projects like the Tsongas Arena, local sports franchises, and the uplift of existing mill buildings to apartments, boutiques, and art galleries creating a great place to live and visit.

Guests of any of the hotels Lowell offers will be impressed by the friendly reception, homeliness, and multilingual staff. Many motels, Guest Houses and two and three-star hotels are located on the outskirts of the city, with only a few in downtown Lowell itself. The Doubletree Hotel located downtown offers spectacular views over the Merrimack River and convenient access to the business hub, while the Courtyard by Marriott is located on the east side of the city, offering convenient access to Boston and all its attractions.

The hotels Lowell offer provide convenient access to many of the city's museums and cultural activities. The American Textile History Museum, National Streetcar Museum, New England Quilt Museum, and the Whistler House Museum of Art are not to be missed. The Western Avenue Studios is a converted mill that houses more than 160 working artists and museums. Theaters and the Philharmonic Orchestra provide further entertainment for visitors to Lowell Hotels.

Some accommodations provide guests with a complimentary breakfast, while others provide full in-house restaurants with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast buffets, casual dining, and contemporary American cuisine that include seafood, steaks, and fabulous chicken dishes ensure that all guests are well satisfied.

The hotels of Lowell provide comfortable rooms and easy access to local attractions, entertainment opportunities, and the business center of the city. They also provide easy access to the major city of Boston and to the rest of the state of Massachusetts. Providing modern business facilities, including conference centers as well as recreational facilities, both leisure and business guests are well catered for and are sure to have a rewarding and pleasant stay.
