THE CANYON RANCH



Hotel description
Canyon Ranch marries historic New England charm with modern luxury. In our stylish 126-room Inn, you'll have your private retreat for comfort and relaxation. There you'll find the aesthetic touches and thoughtful amenities that make your stay a constant pleasure. in the Berkshires is the East Coast version of the popular Tucson health resort, perfectly located for stressed-out Northeasterners or anyone who prefers New England’s climate to the sagebrush desert of Arizona. Like the other Canyon Ranch, this one is an intensive health and wellness experience, immersive to an extraordinary degree—in fact you may wish to know from the start that mobile phone use is strongly discouraged, and alcohol consumption is not permitted.
Clearly this is not the typical resort getaway. The location is scenic enough, in the back woods of western Massachusetts, near the New York state line and walking distance from the charming town of Lenox, MA. But the experience is anything but hedonistic—most guests take this as an opportunity for self-improvement, possibly even a life-changing one. Fitness instructors and exercise facilities are common enough, but Canyon Ranch adds another level of professionals, from nutritionists, acupuncturists and herbalists to nurses, physicians and psychiatrists.
Despite the rather serious emphasis on health, the atmosphere is anything but institutional; accommodations are luxurious, in a contemporary New England style, in the Inn building, separate from the 1897 mansion that is home to the dining room and public spaces. Meals are healthier than the typical rich resort fare, with calorie counts included, but you won’t get cross looks for ordering dessert—presumably you’ll be able to atone in the morning with some extra exercise.
Not for idlers or the debaucherous, Canyon Ranch is possibly as close as you can come to checking into rehab without attracting tabloid attention. Perfect for making a lifestyle adjustment, or for the already supremely health-conscious, the perfect alternative to a wine-soaked Italian holiday
