With its regal façade, patterned after the Ritz Paris, The Chateau at Nemacolin brings elegance to the Pennsylvania countryside.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The private 2,200-acre estate spans Laurel Highlands forests, offering miles of off-roading trails and championship golf under open Pennsylvania skies.
The rooms
Rooms showcase vaulted ceilings and classical decor, while bathrooms feature rust marble floors, brass hardware, and dedicated personal butler service.
The outdoor pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor pools and private cabanas look out across the estate's wooded Laurel Highlands hillsides.
The spa
Under gabled timber ceilings, the spa houses stone lounges, cryotherapy chambers, and a traditional hammam.
The fitness center
The two-story fitness center has strength rigs beneath timber ceilings, and holds floating yoga classes in the pool.
At the table
Lautrec serves European-American cuisine under a painted rotunda dome. The sky-blue Bleu Room pours formal afternoon tea.
How it began
Conceived as an homage to the Ritz Paris, the grand chateau underwent a comprehensive architectural transformation in 2024.
