BETHESDA, Maryland — The Harborvale, Autograph Collection opened earlier this summer on the shores of Lake Champlain, debuting as Burlington, Vermont’s premier 161-room lakeside retreat. Joining Marriott Bonvoy’s exclusive Autograph Collection, the property seamlessly blends elevated hospitality and locally rooted experiences with striking waterfront views in the heart of the city.

With 3,000 square feet of event space across three venues featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace, the hotel accommodates meetings, celebrations and gatherings of up to 150 guests. The largest space is the 1,500-square-foot Harbor Room, which connects to the adjoining Harbor Terrace with lake views.

Set against Burlington’s waterfront culture on the shores of Lake Champlain, The Harborvale is designed as both a destination and gathering place. The hotel features warm residential-style interiors, expansive water-facing spaces and year-round programming shaped by seasons and local community partners. Amenities and programming travelers can look forward to:

  • Onsite Dining Experience: Executive Chef Doug Paine heads up the property’s restaurant. Its “timeless American” concept offers cafe service, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and an evening bar seven days a week, with a menu that is simple yet intentional, rooted in classic technique and driven by seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
  • The Great Room: Featuring a lake-facing bar, this central gathering space connects locals and visitors through rituals inspired by lakeside living. Stop by for afternoon tea, fireside storytelling pop-ups, acoustic sets by local musicians and daily sunset toasts featuring weather-inspired cocktails.
  • Local Exploration and Wellness: Guests can make those steps count, exploring the nearby Burlington Greenway for scenic walks or runs or enjoy curated picnic baskets designed for waterfront outings.
  • Activities and Amenities: The property also features an indoor pool, fitness center and regular community programming, from daily sunset toasts to learn-to-sail packages.
  • Guest Conveniences: The property will be dog-friendly and offer both valet and onsite self-parking.
  • Robust Partnership Program: The Harborvale will collaborate with local institutions to deepen the guest lakeside experience through exclusive packages, programming and installations, including the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, the Community Sailing Center, Lake Champlain Basin Program and beyond.

“We are thrilled to officially open The Harborvale doors and welcome our first guests to build memories at our newly reimagined property,” said Hans van Wees, managing director of Westport Hospitality. “This opening marks an important new chapter for downtown Burlington. We set out to create a place that reflects the spirit of the lake, immersed in our natural surroundings, while offering something truly elevated in this destination, for both visitors and the local community.”
