Staying at the Wheatleigh is a must in the Berkshires. This 19-room estate is luxurious and welcoming. It was built by Henry Cook in 1893 as a wedding gift for his daughter. The grand entrance with the circular driveway and gorgeous fountain wraps you in opulence as you arrive. The property is sprawling and meticulously maintained and provides a sense of peace and serenity once inside estate. The views are spectacular from anywhere on the manor. You can enjoy the sculpture garden, heated pool, outdoor terrace or the lobby lounge and take in all the beauty. There is also a tennis court with the option to schedule a lesson with a local instructor. If you prefer to relax, schedule an in-room massage or book the terrace room on the second floor where you will be lulled by the sound of the entry fountain.
The level of service is as magnificent and adds to the experience before you arrive. Upon booking, you choose the amenities you desire. From the type of pillow to still or sparkling water in your room. There is a special homemade treat that awaits each guest when they arrive in their room. Your stay includes valet parking and breakfast. While there is a Nespresso machine in your room, coffee and tea are also served in the main lobby beginning at 7:30 am each day.
Located off the main lobby you will find The Protico fine dining restaurant. Chef Jeffrey Thompson provides an elegant tasting dining experience filled with seasonal flavors of the Berkshires. The weekly wine selection is paired with the Chef’s creations. It is not to be missed.
