Summertime on 9: Cranwell Resort & Spa
The long winding road that leads you to Cranwell Resort & Spa in Lenox is as unassuming as it is long. But it’s at the crest of this hill where the real resort begins to come into focus.
“Cranwell is unique in many aspects. We’re only about a two and a half hour drive out of New York, about a two hour drive out of Boston, and you’re in beautiful country,” said Cranwell Resort & Spa President Lewis Kiesler.
Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, Cranwell was named the “Top Resort Spa in Massachusetts” in 2006 by Boston Magazine. It’s also the only Four Diamond Resort in the county. But aside from all the accolades, there are a lot of reasons why people keep coming here.
“Being a Gilded Age property, a Gilded Age mansion certainly makes us unique. But we have 380 acres here. We’re beautifully landscaped. A lot of people don’t know this, but Frederick Law Olmstead did the original landscaping at Cranwell. He also did Central Park and a lot of major projects in Boston,” said Kiesler.
For over a century, people from all over the world have been coming to a resort in Lenox that’s known for its history, amenities, and attention to detail. As part of our Summertime on 9 series, Ryan Burgess gives us an insider’s look at one of the best getaways in the Berkshires: Cranwell Resort & Spa.
A standard room inside the mansion at Cranwell starts at about $400 a night during the busy summer season. That may seem like a lot of money to spend, but they say so far this year, business has been booming.
“These days, people are looking for a three day spa getaway and we’re not too much gasoline out of the metropolitan areas. And so all that is combining to give us — a very strong July — and we hope that continues in August,” said Kiesler.
Whether it’s championship golf, award winning spa treatments, or simply a weekend away, for over a century, Cranwell has been more than simply a place to stay. Here, high atop the Berkshire Hills, Cranwell Resort & Spa truly is a vacation destination.
