Burlington, Vermont
Called "The Queen City" of historic Lake Champlain, Burlington lies between the Green Mountains of Vermont and New York's Adirondack high peaks. Though relatively small, Burlington is a popular year-round tourist destination. The Radisson Hotel faces Waterfront Park and is adjacent to the historic Battery Street district and the Church Street Marketplace. A full range of shopping and eating establishments are a short walk from the hotel. A string of city parks are connected by a six mile recreation path along the lake. Bicycles and in-line skates are available for rental. Several excursion cruises and a seasonal passenger train originate near the hotel. Local attractions include resort areas, notably Stowe, Vermont, home of the "Sound of Music's" Trapp Family Lodge. Shelburne Museum, housing the world's largest collection of American folk art, is south of town. French-speaking Quebec is just to the north, with cosmopolitan Montreal less than a two hour drive away.
Burlington International Airport is directly served by American, Continental, United, and US Airways. A free shuttle is available between the airport and Radisson. Taxi fare is less than ten dollars. Discounted airline fares have been arranged for those traveling to Burlington with US Airways. For information concerning discounted fares, please call 1-800-866-0110 and dial 3 for group sales. Identify yourself as a BGA member. The discount is greatest if you book more than 60 days in advance.
