What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The first Miraval resort east of the Mississippi takes Western Massachusetts as its home, and proves that high-end luxury, chic interior design, and a focus on health and wellness are perfectly compatible.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Downtown Lenox and summer concerts at Tanglewood sit minutes away along quiet Berkshire mountain roads.
The rooms
Rooms favor muted palettes and deeply plush beds, with concealed dressing areas and screens tuned to guided meditation.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor-to-outdoor pool passes through glass doors toward the mountains, and an indoor lap pool rests beneath timber trusses.
The spa
Suspended aerial silks bodywork takes place over floor mats, and twenty-eight treatment rooms include dedicated suites for couples.
The fitness center
Cardio machines and weights look straight out into the woods, supported by four workout studios and dedicated yoga rooms.
1894 Restaurant
Wyndhurst Mansion's dining room serves seasonal tasting menus under plaster ceilings, and the wood-paneled bar mixes cocktails by the hearth.
At the table
Harvest Moon serves wholesome dishes under vaulted timber rafters. Nearby, The Roost serves morning smoothies before pouring evening cocktails.
How it began
John Sloane erected the Tudor-style Wyndhurst Mansion in 1893, hiring Frederick Law Olmsted to landscape the rolling estate.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
