A peaceful, secluded, and private sanctuary in The Berkshires, Wheatleigh is one of the smallest Leading Hotels of the World, with 19 guest rooms in an elegant Gilded Age mansion just two and a half hours from Boston and New York. Its signature fine French restaurant, The Portico by Jeffrey Thompson, features just eight coveted tables and an evolving seasonal menu.
"For another glorious Gilded Age sleepover, check into Wheatleigh in Lenox, a secluded Renaissance Revival country home, built in 1893 for Manhattan real estate tycoon Henry H. Cook in western Massachusetts’s Berkshire Hills. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this opulent hotel with only 19 guest rooms and suites — and no two are alike — feels like a private estate."
