selectregistry

In one form or another, Select Registry has been around for over 30 years. 

The association was founded in the late 1960s by Norman Simpson, the "father of Country Inn travel in America." In his pioneering book, Country Inns and Back Roads, Simpson noted that "each (member) inn is original and unique, a reflection of the personalities and tastes of the individual innkeeper-owners...this was never intended to be a total guide to country inns in the United States and Canada, (but rather) a carefully selected group of inns. The purpose is to encourage travelers to visit...and to experience this unique type of personal hospitality..." 

When Norman Simpson first compiled a directory of inns, there were 12 properties, primarily in the New England area. Today, we represent nearly 400 of the "finest country inns, B&Bs, and unique small hotels" from California to Nova Scotia-the very best the travel industry has to offer.
