WASP Hotels: Play Aristocrat At Blantyre

Where: 16 Blantyre Road [map], Lenox, MA, United States, 01240

Say what you want about WASPs, they flock to hotel with high end service. While Blantyre in Lenox, MA, might look a bit like Arkham Asylum from the outside, inside it ranks number 26 on the 2007 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards 2007 list of the 100 best hotels in the world. It scored a ranking of 91.8, and hey, one thing you are sure to see on a WASP coffee table is a copy of Conde Nast Traveler.

The resort consists of a main house filled with overstuffed chairs, fresh flowers, a light-filled music room, and rooms for private dining. Owner Ann Fitzpatrick Brown and her mother Jane decorated the central room with New England style art and antiques. Eight guest bedrooms and suites are located on the second floor. Four private cottages litter the grounds. Other amenities tailored to the WASP lifestyle are dotted throughout -- tennis courts, libraries, and fine dining.

One guest said:

Staying at the high end country manor of a long lost relative.

Our only question: Was this guest from Beacon Hill or the Upper East Side. Count on this place having top notch service for sure.
