Overview

It is known as one of northeast America's most luxurious escapes. However, having 58 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and woodland combined with top-notch amenities is not shared. Instead, the Inn brings you back to nature, where you can rekindle in a natural soul-soothing environment.

Location

This Auberge Resorts Collection hotel is in the town of Washington Connecticut, United States. It is a two hours' drive from New York City. The hotel is mapped in the Litchfield Hills region, 85 miles north of NYC.

Additionally, greenery surrounds the hotel so that guests can carry out plenty of nature-based activities within the vicinity. For instance, they can attend a cheese-making class at a family's farm.

Style and Character

Standing a few hours' drive from NYC, the three-storied structure exudes Dutch glamor mixed with English style.

Additionally, the decor is very artsy, with different artworks displayed everywhere. Moreover, The Parlor and The Library have fireplaces, exciting games, and old books.

The hotel looks exceptional in every season. In the summers, the pool is open, and the croquet lawn is quite busy.
