Learn more about New Bedford

Dive into America's whaling past at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, where massive whale skeletons and scrimshaw artifacts tell tales of maritime glory. Once the 'richest city in the world' thanks to whale oil, this historic port now offers harbor tours showcasing centuries-old lighthouses. The Whaling National Historic Park preserves the seafaring heritage that inspired Melville's 'Moby-Dick.' Frederick Douglass once found refuge here among fellow abolitionists. Today's working waterfront boasts America's most valuable fishing fleet, with fresh seafood practically jumping onto plates. For a change of pace, visit the Art Museum or catch a performance at the Zeiterion Theatre. Buttonwood Park Zoo offers family-friendly encounters with creatures considerably more docile than Moby Dick.

Whaler Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Nice place to stay! The outside may look like it needs renovation (probably forthcoming), but our room was newly renovated and very nice. They even thoughtfully included built-in charging stations on both nightstands. The rate (through Expedia) was very reasonable, compared to other properties in the area. The breakfast included coffee, several juices, two different cereals, oatmeal, muffins, granola bars, yogurt, and a Belgium waffle machine. Didn't use the indoor pool, but it looked fabulous. Would stay here again!"

Easy to bike to beaches and even more of cape cod experience sight seeing on the ride. Bike to Main Street la Maison bakery is one of the best! I visit every summer for peace not far from the city. Highly recommend"

Mansion House Inn And Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at Mansion House Inn & Spa. This was our first trip to MV, and we didn't really know where we should stay, but we are so happy we ended up staying in Vineyard Haven, and specifically at Mansion House. The Inn is so beautifully decorated, the location is super convenient, and I honestly don't think I have ever stayed at a place that is so clean. Everything is pristine - including the stairwells! The beds are super comfortable, and the linens are all top notch. Everyone was so helpful, and really wanted to help us put together the best weekend. We followed all of their tips, and just had such a memorable long weekend there. We loved the low-key vibe of Vineyard Haven. It was fun to go to Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, but we really appreciated coming back to the more relaxed feel of Vineyard Haven. We greatly enjoyed the shops and the restaurants that were just steps from the hotel. We also enjoyed an amazing couples massage at the spa. We unfortunately did not make it up to the rooftop deck until the last day. The view up there is phenomenal and it would have been great to enjoy my morning coffee up there. On the last day, upon recommendation of the hotel staff, we took the free island bus to Aquinnah. The views there are absolutely spectacular. Thank you to all of the staff at Mansion Inn for helping us enjoy such a memorable time on MV!"
