Wheatleigh

Wheatleigh is one of America's most celebrated small luxury hotels — a Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond 1893 Italian palazzo built on 22 acres in the Berkshires for a Vanderbilt wedding gift, now operating as a 19-room hotel with one of the most intimate and refined spa experiences in New England. The Nordic-inspired spa includes Finnish sauna, steam, and a thermal pool, while the estate's lawns and gardens provide the perfect contrast environment — cold morning air against the sauna's heat, the mist rising from Stockbridge Bowl lake at dawn. Wheatleigh's location directly adjacent to Tanglewood makes it the preferred hotel for Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians and conductors during the summer season. The restaurant holds a Michelin star. Eighteen rooms. No compromises.
