Hotels near Burlington International Airport - BTV, Burlington

We came to Burlington to use the bike trails and they were amazing, easy to navigate and a lot of fun to ride on. The Causeway was our main destination and it was absolutely beautiful when we arrived at the beginning of it, nice leisurely ride to the end. We ate at the Gryphon, Splash At The Dock, and the Shanty On The Shore, all excellent restaurants, and the prices were reasonable. We walked from our hotel, The Blind Tiger to Burlington waterfront, which was not too bad of a walk, about a half mile. Stopped at the Shelburne Country Store on our way home, prices were too expensive there, not really impressed with it, definitely a tourist trap! We can’t wait to go back to Burlington, there is so much more for us to see.

Winooski is a convenient place to stay based on the ease of driving into Burlington, which only takes 10 minutes. Had a lovely breakfast at Sneakers Bistro and a good lunch at Asian Bistro. The only downside is the frequent noise from aircraft coming in to land at the Burlington airport.

I enjoyed Burlington and used the buses to get to Stowe and to Middlebury [the latter has a very good college art museum]. Henry"s Diner was a "proper" US diner experience and The Northerner a welcoming bar. Even tough I'd missed "Peak" leaf colour, the trees were still delightful and I was blessed with clear skies.

I’m sure the waterfront is lovely in the summer but way too cold in winter. Church St Marketplace was a fun afternoon with some cool shops and the drive to Stowe was a quick 45 minute beautiful scenic ride but no moose sightings ☹️

I travel to Burlington to visit family and have never experienced it as a tourist but this is well located for easy travel to anything in the greater Burlington area while providing a quiet and very private retreat after a day of exploring

Burlington is a cute city that is experiencing some hard times. Like many cities its size, there is a significant un-homed population which you will undoubtedly see if you spend any time downtown. Our experience was that these people do not bother anyone, and they generally congregate in City Hall park and in the center streets of downtown. There are some areas with a lot of graffiti and blight that it seems the city is working on. That being said, there are some beautiful things to see there, chiefly Lake Champlain, which is the entire west side of town. The waterfront area is full of parks and green spaces and an amazing biking/walking trail that follows the lake pretty much the whole way. There are plenty of great restaurants, breweries and stores in downtown Burlington. The central Church Street Marketplace is beautiful but touristy and is on the expensive side. Don't sleep on all the good stuff in the "suburbs" and townships outside of downtown, including South Burlington (which also counts as East Burlington), North Burlington, and Williston and Winooski. All of these have good shopping, eating and drinking. A short drive North to the Champlain Islands is full of beauty, serenity and more good restaurants, breweries, wineries and natural beaches. Ultimately, Canada is about 1 hour away. A short drive South to the foothills of the Green Mountains is full of covered bridges, farm stores, and hikeable mountains and creeks (check out Mt. Philo, VT's first State Park!). Take a car ferry across the lake to New York from either the North or South end for more adventures.
