We had the most wonderful stay at Blind Tiger in Burlington, VT, and it truly made our 25th anniversary feel incredibly special. From the moment I spoke with Katrina on the phone, several weeks ago her warmth and hospitality set the tone. When we arrived, she welcomed us like old friends, and the next morning she greeted us again at breakfast with the same genuine kindness and her breakfast set up was impeccable and really delicious Katrina even created a beautiful charcuterie board for our celebration, a thoughtful touch that made us feel seen and celebrated. It’s rare to feel that taken care of while traveling, but she managed it effortlessly. The inn itself is just as memorable. The rooms are exceptionally decorated, with every detail feeling intentional and high-end. The communal spaces downstairs are absolutely enchanting with glowing fireplaces, cozy nooks, charming Christmas decorations, adding life and warmth to every corner. But the real showstopper is the Solarium. It’s stunning and bright, peaceful, filled with natural light and lush greenery that makes the whole space feel like a living garden. We found ourselves lingering there day and night; it is the kind of room you don’t want to leave especially as the snow is falling and you feel as though you are within a gigantic snow globe. Blind Tiger is elegant, warm, and thoughtfully run. We can’t imagine a lovelier place to celebrate a milestone, and we can’t thank Katrina enough for making our stay unforgettable. Burlington is a sleepy town and must be vibrant in different seasons. But everywhere we went we met the nicest people and all willing to tell us about the best restaurants, deli’s, diners, eclectic bars and brewery’s. We had the best time and already telling all of our friends to come to Blind Tiger to stay.

LOVED our time at blind tiger. The service was fantastic. The breakfast is included and very delicious. The rooms were extremely cozy and the property is just stunning. Very well decorated. A big plus is that there’s free parking on site and it’s a 15-20 min serene walk to downtown. Looking forward to coming back.

This is our second visit to the Blind Tiger in Burlington Vermont. The location is perfect for walking to downtown Church Street and the UVM campus. The staff is very welcoming and available for all your needs. The rooms are clean, comfortable and unique. We will always choose to stay here when we visit Burlington!

Amazing character and such a unique opportunity to stay in a historic mansion. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. You can have breakfast in the solarium and there is a guest bar with espresso, sparkling water, and tea anytime. It was an unforgettable experience.

It’s difficult for a hotel to combine comfort, coziness, and quirkiness and make it all work, yet Blind Tiger achieves that and more. This hotel is a gem, not in a flashy or overly polished way, but in the sense that it genuinely understands how to make guests feel welcome and cared for. Within just a few hours of arriving, I felt completely at home. Its leafy location is nestled among Burlington’s historic Victorian homes, once occupied by the city’s business elite. Today, many of these grand properties are owned by Champlain College and the University of Vermont, whose preservation efforts are evident in the beauty and character of the neighborhood. The hotel is only a short walk from downtown Burlington and because downtown is “down” the hill, you can conveniently walk off a few calories after enjoying Burlington’s eclectic restaurant scene. Breakfast in the dining room is exceptional, Michelin-level exceptional, as the plaques outside the front door proudly attest. There may be no better place to start the day than in the grand solarium, enjoying breakfast while overlooking the beautiful lawn beyond. The quirky décor throughout the hotel naturally brings a smile, while the afternoon aromas of baking drifting through the house serve as a delicious preview of the next morning’s offerings. Guests are never far from complimentary drinks and snacks in the bar room pantry. And fair warning: the chocolate muffins are devilishly good. The rooms are comfortable, unique, and thoughtfully restored, with touches that honor the building’s history. Bathrooms are spotless and stocked with an ample supply of quality towels. My only minor quibble with my room was the lighting setup. There was no convenient way to turn off the lights from bed, requiring a bit of strategy to avoid stubbing a toe on the way back. Otherwise, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, with soft linens and high-quality pillows. My room, Horizon Lines, was especially fortunate to have four windows an

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed at. We visited for the Vermont City Marathon. The Blind Tiger was a great location for getting to and from the race. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the garden. The breakfast spread was 10/10.
