All suites are newly refurbished with in-room fireplace (some with two), hydrotherapy spa tubs (most for two), luxurious linens and free property-wide high-speed wireless internet access. Some rooms offer exceptional views of Mount Equinox or a private entrance. On-site fine dining offers a sleek, sophisticated dining experience featuring regional cuisine and an award-winning wine list. Property has an appropriately-sized fitness center, business office with dedicated guest-accessible computer and internet access, and dedicated massage-therapy treatment room. In addition, walk to a world-class spa, golf, shopping and four-season activities, including hiking, biking and tennis. Drive one mile to Manchester Designer Outlets, the Southern Vermont Arts Center, galleries, live theatre and restaurants, or travel twenty minutes to skiing at Bromley or Stratton Mountain.
