Kimpton Taconic Hotel

Excellent attention to detail. Very helpful at check in and an informative agent at the front desk. Would highly recommend staying at the Kimpton Taconic Hotel. An updated historic hotel in the heart of Manchester VT. Bed is dreamy and shower fab.

Exceptionally nice experience all the way around. This 10-year old IHG-branded hotel feels brand new, is clean, and is staffed with friendly people. We loved its proximity to everything we wanted to see and do, we loved the comfort of the bed, and we loved the cleanliness of every feature of the hotel. We enjoyed a lunch and a breakfast in the hotel's dining room but not a dinner (wish we had because their wine list is especially well curated). Food is delicious and wait staff cordial and on top of their game. Shout out to Kristin for her particularly professional waitressing. Highly recommended; we'll be back for sure.

Love this place. The rooms are so comfortable and the staff, especially Jaye and the manager Stella are the best! The hotel is very upscale without being stuffy or overly pretentious. Great location! Can't wait to go back!

Great stay in a lovely location . Great staff especially jaydoura who was so helpful and friendly Always guarantee a great stay in a Kimpton hotel.

The hotel is a newer property that has public space elements that resemble a New England country inn — a front porch with rocking chairs facing Main Street, library-ish lobby spaces. The rooms, though, are modern construction - clean, well-maintained, well-ventilated. They most closely resemble rooms you might find at an office park Renaissance than at a Vermont country inn (or an urban Kimpton for that matter). But we preferred it that way — what this hotel lacks in authenticity it more than makes up for in cleanliness and competence. The A/C worked well (we checked in at the tail end of a June heat wave). No problems with the WiFi. Consistently professional staff. The biggest negative was probably the lack of surface space in the room - e.g. no desk. Our 2 Queen room was classified as “Mountain View” but the trees in the back of the property blocked any such view. No coffeemakers in our room, but the morning coffee in the lobby was much better than average. No minibar (a plus, in my view) but the room had a mini-fridge. Easy walk to the Equinox, if you have an event there - slight uphill grade, sidewalks available the entire way.

First the positives. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The staff were very patchy. Some were very helpful, others very unhelpful. I was surprised to find no shuttle available at all one evening when the hotel was quiet and when this is included in the resort fee.
