Lenox Travel Guide

It's all "trendy" "urban chic" at Lenox's "popular" "replica of a French bistro", where "young and old" gather in "sexy" surroundings that include a "cool bar" for "delightful" fare, which is now created by chef Sylvain Noel of Baroods; if only the prices weren't so "steep", the service were "warmer" and the "tight room" weren't so "zoo-y" in high season (remember, "reservations are a must").

A true "grande dame", this "ritzy" hotel dining room with "a magnificent setting" in Lenox exudes the "luxury" of "a bygone era", from the "fabulous" French–New American à la carte lunches and prix fixe dinners to the "thoroughly professional", "refined staff" to "gorgeous", "romantic" environs filled with "fresh flowers" and soft piano music; yes, the whole "pampering" experience is "over-the-top", just like the "out-of-sight prices" – but this is "one splurge that's really worth the dough"; N.B jacket and tie required, children under 12 not admitted.

A "tried-and-true" "standby for Lenox residents" (as well as tourists heading to Tanglewood), this "relaxed" New American employs an "accommodating staff" to deliver "attractive, delicious food" that's "a bit pricey but worth it"; patrons pick from three "peaceful" rooms, or sit on the "delightful" porch in summertime to "enjoy the scenery" "in the middle of town."

It's "heaven on earth" avow the "wowed" at this "gorgeous" Italianate mansion in Lenox, where "truly lovely" rooms form an "elegant" backdrop for "superb" French–New American cuisine and "extraordinary", "formal service"; it strikes a few as "somewhat stuffy", but most are "left sighing" by the whole "spectacular" experience, and though you may have to "sell your house" to pay the bill, this is one "splurge" that's "worth every penny"; N.B. jackets suggested.

First it was Reverend Henry Ward Beecher's estate, then a hunt club, a private school for boys and now this luxe vacation destination, which includes a course that is "not long" and "great for high-handicappers" – if they "take a caddie or buy a yardage book" because, unlike the resort's ambiance, there's "nothing elegant" about "blind shots" and "a few holes that are impossible to understand"; however, "thoughtful amenities" abound, such as a "great golf school", a "spa for non-players" and four tantalizing restaurants for non-dieters.
