We had an incredible 3 night stay at Blantyre.  Our room was in the main hotel.  Basically, this is a mansion from the 1800's.  There were 4 running fireplaces on the 1st floor.  The smell was wonderful.  There are books and antique furniture everywhere.

Our room was perfect.  We used the fireplace there 2 of the nights.  One match got it roaring.  The bed was very comfortable.

We had dinner in the restaurant one of the nights which was amazing.

NOTE: As of 11/1/2021, Blantyre has shut down for some period of time, possibly many months   They are starting a major renovation to make it even better.  We heard this will include building a new pool near the main hotel and other enhancements.

We will definitely return after the renovation is complete!

Wonderful Stay

An absolutely perfect vacation in a former Gilded Age mansion that plays host to a two-star restaurant from Daniel Boulud. The service, ambiance, and location are beyond superb. General Manager (Steve Benson) could not do enough for us, Front desk manager (Gabriel) was the epitome of European style. We stayed in the Ice House, a perfectly cozy two-bedroom cottage that oozes charm and quaint woodsy decor. We all agreed the experience could not be improved, from a fireplace set for an afternoon,  the Boulud restaurant that is unimaginably good. The grounds were delightful to traipse around and we saw a flock of wild turkeys just to make the experience even more enchanting.

Sublime Berkshire getaway

My initial contact with the property was a bit rocky, but after staying here I wish I could award more than 5 stars.   In early spring we booked a long weekend stay for the fall, but were contacted in June to let us know the reservation was cancelled because the property was going to close on Mondays and Tuesdays going forward (Covid fallout).  We were able to rebook but were disappointed to not be able to reserve the same room.  Our concerns were abated when we arrived and realized how lovely and how immaculately maintained the entire property is.  Our room was perfect and the service was remarkable, but what really stood out was the hotel's response to an event that occurred on our last night there.  I had gone to an art festival in downtown Lenox and when I returned to my car I had a flat.  After being on hold with AAA for an extended time I contacted my husband who had stayed back at the Blantyre and he had the idea to call the front desk.  While I lingered on hold with AAA, the Hotel immediately sent a capable and friendly person who efficiently put my doughnut on and followed me back to the property.  They also took the time to call several local tire dealers in a vain attempt to find a replacement (it was Saturday night and the dealers were all closed the next day).  The Blantyre made what could have been a vacation-altering event into a footnote.  I got back to my room with enough time to freshen up for our dinner reservation at Cafe Bouloud, and to enjoy one the best meals, with some of the best service, my husband and I have ever eaten.  Can not recommend this hotel, or the food service, highly enough.

They rescued me!

Visited twice for dinner (haven’t stayed overnight). Food was excellent. Service was outstanding. Stunning building and grounds in the heart of the Berkshires. Well worth exploring — and well worth the splurge. We loved our outdoor dinner.

Stunning special place.

My husband and I had a magical time at Blantyre. We stayed in a sizable deluxe king room with a working fireplace (which we used + loved) and a huge bathroom. This was a rare getaway planned last minute due to us cancelling a 2 week trip. We started our stay with two 80 min massages (which were good but not great), then my husband soaked in the tub. We both thought the rain shower pressure was dialed in perfectly. We chose to have in room dining and this did not take away from Chef Boulud's menu. A table was set up 10 min before the food arriving. Two people brought everything in on silver trays. The chilled pea soup was so delicate and all of the presentation was intact. I had the filet and it was perfect. The bed was super comfy but not too soft. In room breakfast was absolutely perfect. My husband had a tennis lesson with Andres and even bought a racket from him. I enjoyed the pool and its lovely ambiance. The best, absolute best part of Blantyre are their people. They all go above and beyond. We had an issue with our Tesla charger and Bill (head engineer) and Jake tried everything to get us hooked up. They ran extension cords, they took us to the service area to try another idea. They sincerely endeavored to remedy our situation. Laura at the spa is a gem, Shane and Joel were wonderful attendants, Gabriel was our day manager and he was beyond attentive and lovely. We even did a tour with David (head of operations) and it made us love the property more. We have already booked another stay in November and we can not wait. Absolutely stay at the Blantyre.

Simply Magical

There is something in the air at Blantyre. The serenity and peacefulness that saturates the entire property lends to an experience like no other. There is no question that the Berkshires inspires creativity. This is the area where Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edith Wharton and a host of others were inspired to create prolific amounts of work.  There may be no better known composer in the last 100 years than John Williams. This is where he has come to spend his summers for many years. In the heart of the these Berkshires you will find Blantyre, a place that exudes the best qualities of the Berkshire experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend the tour of their estate they offer most days at 11 am. We stayed in one of the cottages, but I imagine any place to drop your bags at Blantyre will be just what you needed.

A Place Like No Other

This was my first visit to Blantyre after the covid lockdown was removed.
It took us 5 hours to reach Lenox, but the experience was worth every minute of driving. 
We found the house as it was before covid - majestic, yet comfortable, impeccable in every way.
I could not think of any single improvement, but here it is - a perfect marriage with Cafe Boulud.
The dinner menu has enough choices for both nights. We loved the tuna tartare, sea bass, beef, asparagus salad, 
and of course, the desert: hazelnut chocolate cake and mango, basil-lime vacherin. My personal favorite was madeleines, 
freshly baked, timed just right for a cup of coffee. Our servers - Tatiana and Kevin completed experience with helpful suggestions and insights.
We missed live piano performance after dinner.
We already made reservation for our next visit, hope to receive a conformation email soon.
Many thanks to all for hard work!

Lovely time

This may have been my best room service experience ever; having lived out of hotels that is saying something. 

The building is really beautiful and at any other time we would have made use of the beautiful common spaces indoors and not just enjoyed our room and the grounds. The room was impeccably cleaned and staff were attentive to needs that came up during the visit. The absolute stand out was our room service meal set in front of the wood-burning fireplace in our room. They came up with a table, offered us options for chairs, had all of the food wrapped in plastic and covered in warming lids, but done in a way that did not interfere with even the delicate plating details. The portions were substantial and food quality was outstanding. They even provided gluten-free options that went above and beyond to accommodate an allergy. 

I wish I could give 4.5 because there were some minor areas for improvement, but I will round up given COVID was likely a contributing factor.

Best room service ever

We had the pleasure to stop by the Blantyre for a birthday drink and were met by friendly Andre, who not only made the BEST birthday drink (which I was craving) but even put together a last minute bite for us (the kitchen was closed already). If nothing else, we would go back for Andre and those tastefully made drinks. Thank you!

The BEST DRINKS

We went to enjoy Sunday brunch at their cafe Boulard. We thought it would be a safe place to dine given their Relais & Chateu affiliation and likelihood that they were following best Covid practices. We were also drawn by the opening of the cafe Boulet under the direction of chef Daniel Boulet. We enjoyed a wonderful brunch and had a private dining room for a party of four. I savored the duck pate encroute and the Frenchie Burger and we all had an assortment of homemade ice creams and sorbets for dessert. Their prices were at New York City levels which may be high for the region (for example, $19 for a Bloody Mary). But the overall experience and level of service was worth it.

We also got to tour the hotel and property. It's a grand old building and wonderful grounds but it looks like renovations were done on a budget compared to other Relais & Chateau properties we are familiar with such as Glenmere Mansion and the Ocean House and other hotels at their price range of over $1,000 per night
