Inn on Boltwood has long been an essential fixture of Amherst College and the Town of Amherst. Located on the Amherst Common, the Inn has preserved its original architecture and historic charm, offering a classic New England inn experience. It's within walking distance of restaurants and shops, as well as the Emily Dickinson Museum and the Mead Art Museum, and Beneski Museum of Natural History in the heart of the College's campus. Inn on Boltwood is a 30-minute drive from Springfield, Mass. It is ideally situated between the historic towns of Northampton and Deerfield, making it the perfect location for visitors and prospective students to the Five College area and its neighboring towns' institutions. The poet Robert Frost, who spent many years lecturing and teaching at Amherst College, often stayed at the Inn.
Olympia Hotel Management will operate the property, along with a diverse collection of unique campus hotel projects, including The Alfond Inn at Rollins, The Hotel at Oberlin, The Inn at Swarthmore, and The Historic Boone Tavern Hotel & Restaurant at Berea College.

Innovations included a geothermal ground source heating and cooling system, water-efficient landscaping, energy-efficient plumbing, electrical fixtures, the use of regionally manufactured materials and materials constructed with recycled content, and CO2 fresh air-activated systems in all meeting rooms.
