Finding a Hotel in South Burlington
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for South Burlington, Vermont.
South Burlington is a relatively new city that was incorporated in the 1970s and sits to the east and slightly south of its larger neighbor, Burlington. The two cities practically run into each other and the Veterans Highway 89 is the best and clearest distinguisher between the two for those visiting the area.
And the area is indeed well worth a visit with the vast Lake Champlain just a stones-throw away and surrounded by the stunning Green Mountains, particularly in the fall season when the leaves create a picturesque landscape of color. The region is awash with outdoor pursuits for energetic and active individuals. Water-related diversions like lake-based kayaking, fishing and sailing are all popular activities, while mountain-based activities such as hiking, cycling and skiing provide equally exciting opportunities to individuals who wish to keep their feet, wheels and skis on terra firma. Ice cream lovers across the world are also drawn to this small corner of Vermont, which is home to the original Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream factory, which has tours that explain how it all began back in the late 1970s.
Visitors to the area will find a concentration of hotels and motels in South Burlington in two specific areas, firstly close to Burlington International Airport and the University of Vermont in Burlington and secondly in the area to the south, clustered along Shelbourne Road with Shelbourne Bay on Lake Champlain to the west.
WILLASTON ROAD
Willaston Road runs from the airport to Veterans Highway and has almost a dozen different hotel and motel choices to entice visitors to stay a while in the area. These range from budget motels to mid-range chain hotel choices and there is even a top-end option. The independently owned budget motels closest to the airport have outdoor swimming pools and offer kitchen facilities in some rooms, while the mid-range chain choices are closer to Burlington and offer fitness rooms and outdoor pools. A couple, such as the University Inn, have indoor swimming available.
SHELBOURNE ROAD
On Shelbourne Road there are a half dozen hotels and motels that are mostly mid-range chains, along with the independent and unusually named G.G.T. Tibet Inn, which provides information about the Asian nation. Hotels here are larger and more business-oriented in this area and a couple offer indoor swimming pools, fitness and exercise rooms and business centers, as well as shuttles to the airport. Banqueting and meeting rooms are on offer at the Comfort Suites Hotel.
For those looking for a more personal and intimate place to stay, there are also several bed and breakfast style accommodation choices in South Burlington.
