The magazine's readers "continue to search for hotels and experiences that draw them in—those with a rich backstory, entrancing interiors, and an authentic sense of place."

The Massachusetts resorts on the list include:

• Winnetu Oceanside Resort in Edgartown. The Martha's Vineyard property has been family-owned since 1968, offering oceanview dining, children's programs, excursions and more.
• The Nantucket Hotel and Resort. This year-round hotel and resort near the Brant Point neighborhood has been welcoming guests since 1891. The spot is the inspiration for Elin Hilderbrand's novel "The Hotel Nantucket."
• White Elephant Hotel in Nantucket. This resort offers harbor views from private balconies overlooking a marina, along with complimentary bicycles and a seasonal outdoor pool.

Travel + Leisure's list also includes nearby tourist hotpots like Mystic, Connecticut, and Newport, Rhode Island.
