Two distinct travel destinations open
side-by-side today in Lenox, Mass.
Today, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced the
introduction of the internationally acclaimed Miraval spa and
wellness brand to Lenox, Mass., with the opening of Miraval
Berkshires. This opening marks the Miraval brand’s third property,
joining its original location in Tucson, Ariz. – celebrating its
25th anniversary this year – and second location in Austin, Texas,
which opened in February 2019. On the same property as Miraval
Berkshires, Hyatt simultaneously introduces Wyndhurst Manor &
Club, a Destination Hotel, with a focus on the Berkshires’ rich
culture and history. Both resorts sit atop 380 protected acres and
offer a diverse range of year-round programming that encourages
guests to celebrate the changing New England seasons.

“We are thrilled with the Miraval brand’s expansion to the East
Coast with Miraval Berkshires and to welcome Wyndhurst Manor &
Club to the Destinations Hotels family,” said Susan Santiago, Head
of Lifestyle & Miraval Operations. “Wyndhurst Manor offers a
step back into the Gilded Age and delivers a true-to-place
experience for multigenerational families, golfers and those simply
wanting to escape. The programming at Miraval Berkshires encourages
guests to create a “Life in Balance” by focusing on mind, body and
spirit. We look forward to welcoming guests on their transformative
journey through spa, equine, fitness and nutrition
experiences.”
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES
The Miraval Berkshires experience echoes elements of the Miraval
experiences in Arizona and Austin, namely beautifully appointed
guestrooms and suites that encourage sleep and relaxation, a ranch
for the Miraval brand’s signature equine programming, a Life in
Balance Spa with both new and beloved treatments and a challenge
course designed to take guests out of their comfort zone. Miraval
Berkshires also offers new elements that celebrate the changing New
England seasons and the culture and history of the Berkshires. For
example, a historic golf course complete with a collection of golf
programming explores the mindful side of golf, and a vast system of
indoor pathways allow guests to travel comfortably between
activities and programs even in the coldest of New England
winters.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES - ACCOMMODATIONS
Miraval Berkshires’ 100 guestrooms and suites, designed by
award-winning Clodagh who also designed the spas at Miraval Arizona
and Miraval Austin, are relaxing havens inspired by country house
glamour and idyllic New England comfort. Featuring a color palette
of warm cranberry, amber, navy and greyish blues, and materials
including shirting plaids, woven wools, mattress ticking cottons
and cozy throws, the rooms at Miraval Berkshires evoke memories of
sitting fireside in a warm knit sweater or breathing in
pine-scented air on a brisk fall hike. Each guestroom features a
Tibetan singing bowl, meditation cushion and guided meditation
channels.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES - LIFE IN BALANCE SPA
Miraval Berkshires’ Life in Balance Spa is the largest spa in
the Miraval portfolio encompassing 29,000 square feet and 28
treatment rooms, built with the Miraval brand’s most beloved
signature treatments in mind. For example, there is a dedicated
indoor spa pool treatment room for the Miraval signature water
treatment, Vasudhara, and a new treatment room for Naga Thai, the
Miraval brand’s exclusive massage developed from time-tested Thai
healing principles, contains special support beams for the
therapists’ yoga silks. The spa also features an indoor/outdoor
lounge pool, men’s and women’s relaxation rooms, salon, sauna,
steam room and spa retail boutique.
In addition to these Miraval classic treatments, Miraval
Berkshires’ spa menu features a new menu of treatments like the
Manuka Honey Body Renewal Ritual and Abundant Harvest Facial,
developed in collaboration with pioneering natural beauty brand
Naturopathica. The spa menu also features locally inspired
treatments rooted in the Berkshire’s sense of place through the use
of indigenous botanicals. Facial treatments such as the Tulsi Rose
and the Abundant Harvest feature recipes with organic, regional
plants that are often grown on-property, allowing guests to
rejuvenate through the harvests of the Berkshires.
Clodagh’s design for the spa was conceived to excite all five
senses and encourage mindfulness and introspection. Guests’
experience begins with a “Path to Wellness,” a meditational walk
through a greenhouse-like portal designed to encourage mindfulness
and transition guests into a more serene state of being.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES – HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING
Inspired by the Berkshires’ changing seasons, the programming at
Miraval Berkshires is designed to spur transformation in guests
through reflection, by challenging a boundary or by learning
something new. The collection of programming blends many
experiences that are familiar to Miraval guests with new programs
that allow guests to discover new interests or learn something new
about themselves.
Guests at Miraval Berkshires are able to take advantage of the
stunning hiking and biking terrains near the property to reconnect
with themselves, their loved ones and their natural surroundings.
Guests can explore acres of protected forests with trails of
varying levels of difficulty, such as the Monk’s Pond Trail, where
guests can stroll mindfully over ridges teeming with wildlife, or
the Pleasant Valley Hike, a more challenging vertical hike where
guests are rewarded with breathtaking mountain views at the
summit.
To complement the Miraval brand’s existing meditation
programming, a new class called “Meditation and Your Union” deepens
the practice for couples. This powerful session helps couples find
a shared sense of peace and connection through a unique mantra
created around a significant date in their relationship. They can
take the mantra home with them to keep the practice going in their
daily lives.
The golf course at Miraval Berkshires provides unique
opportunities for guests to have meaningful and transformative
experiences. The Miraval approach to golf is not be about
perfecting swings or improving scores; rather, it is be about
overcoming one’s own expectations and fears to find greater success
on the course. Just as Miraval Arizona’s signature “It’s Not About
the Horse” class teaches guests that the way a horse reacts is
based entirely on how we approach the horse, Miraval Berkshires’
golf curriculum teaches guests that approaching the ball with
mindfulness and an openness to learn makes all the difference.
In addition to these new programs, Miraval Berkshires features
the Meadowview Challenge Course, where guests can participate in
activities incorporating unique elements of problem solving,
communication, release of fear-based belief systems and
self-exploration. Guests can experience courses such as the Falcon
Course, which challenges guests with high-level climbing elements,
or the Barred Owl Course, a slower, more cerebral experience that
progresses in difficulty through four stages. Lastly, a Body
Mindfulness Center features cutting-edge Technogym equipment and a
fitness studio for activities including Cardio Drumming, Boga Fit
Bootcamp and spinning classes.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES – MEADOWVIEW STABLES
Developed at Miraval Arizona 25 years ago, the brand’s famed
equine programming is also be central to the Miraval Berkshires
experience. The new ranch offers an expertly developed curriculum
of year-round programming that expands upon Miraval Arizona’s
original programming with new workshops. A new class called “Common
Ground” encourages guests to communicate with their horses without
touching or speaking, allowing guests to learn communication
skills, build gratitude and develop new paths to healthy
relationships.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES – CULINARY OFFERINGS
Like its sister properties, Miraval Berkshires features a Life
in Balance Culinary Kitchen where guests can participate in healthy
cooking classes, using Williams Sonoma products. Miraval
Berkshires’ smoothie bar, The Roost, serves up fresh smoothies and
grab-and-go items throughout the day, and Harvest Moon Restaurant
serves three nutritious meals per day. At the Pool Café, guests can
enjoy a poolside snack, fresh-squeezed beverage or craft cocktail,
all while taking in the breathtaking mountain scenery. Guests can
also experience a showstopping five-course meal with wine pairings
at the Chef’s Table, which features changing menus daily based on
the freshest produce and ingredients available.
Miraval Berkshires also features interactive culinary
experiences that promote wholesome and healthy eating habits.
Classes such as “Sweet & Savory Gluten-Free Snacks,” “Conquer
the Blade” and “Plant-Based BBQ” help guests learn to make
nutritious meals at home, while hands-on culinary experiences such
as “Honey Tasting” and “Highlights of the Season” provides in-depth
looks at specialty ingredients and help guests build appreciation
and gratitude for the wonders of local ingredients and farmers.
Lectures and workshops such as “Eating with Intention” and “Mindful
Menu Planning” also help guests learn accessible and helpful tips
for boosting health and expanding consciousness through healthy
dining habits. Guests interested in sustainable living can also
visit Miraval Berkshires’ onsite farm, where they learn about
chicken and bee keeping from the Miraval brand’s experts. Through
these farm experiences, guests gain a deeper understanding of the
animal lifecycles and learn about the emotional process of
attaining eggs and honey for consumption.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES – RETAIL
Moonlight Pass, Miraval Berkshires’ retail outlet, brings the
Berkshires’ rich cultural and artistic heritage to guests by
offering a hand-curated selection of art, jewelry, clothing and
skincare products sourced from local artisans and craftspeople.
MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES – TRANSPORTATION
To transport guests in style, Miraval Berkshires is
collaborating with top luxury automaker Lexus to provide a fleet of
vehicles exclusively for resort guests. The service will be
available to guests seeking transport to and from the airport and
the town centers of Lenox and Lee. The featured model is the LX 570
and offers comfort and practicality without sacrificing style.
Lexus’ passion for brave design, imaginative technology, and
exhilarating performance enables the Miraval brand to create
amazing experiences for its guests.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB
The experience offered alongside Miraval Berkshires, Wyndhurst
Manor & Club, is grounded in the culture and history of the
Berkshires. At its center is a grand Gilded Age mansion that
embodies the Berkshires’ nickname, “Inland Newport.” Inside the
mansion are 11 elegant guestrooms inspired by the palatial estates
of Berkshires’ heyday in the early 20th century, the Wyndhurst
Dining Room, a bar with views of the rolling lawn, music room with
a grand fireplace, glass-walled sunroom with white-washed brick
walls, and private board room with a vaulted ceiling and inglenook
fireplace. An additional 35 guestrooms, located at cottages and
suites near Sloane’s Tavern, the Pro Shop and the outdoor swimming
pool, round out Wyndhurst Manor’s accommodations. Access to
Wyndhurst Manor and Miraval Berkshires’ shared golf course and a
vast list of new programming offers year-round entertainment for
guests.
Guests can also purchase day packages to Miraval Berkshires and
receive the full Miraval wellbeing experience.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB – HISTORY
In 1853, Reverend Henry Ward Beecher purchased Blossom Hill,
where Wyndhurst Manor now stands, proclaiming, “From here I can see
the very hills of Heaven.” John Sloane, who purchased the property
and erected a Tudor Mansion in 1893, then commissioned architect
Frederick Law Olmsted, who famously designed New York City’s
Central Park, to landscape the grounds. In the 20th century, new
owner Edward Cranwell operated the property as the Jesuit-run
Cranwell Preparatory School before eventually transforming it into
Cranwell Resort.
To honor the rich history of the property and the Berkshire
region, each guestroom in the mansion of Wyndhurst Manor & Club
is named after a famous New England artist, author or poet, such as
Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB – GOLF
Built in 1926, the rolling hills and tree-lined fairways of
Wyndhurst Manor's historic 18-hole golf course combines spectacular
views with challenging golf. Named one of the “Best Places to Play”
by Golf Digest, the luxurious golf experience at Wyndhurst Manor
has been fully renovated and offers amenities including a 10-acre
driving range, practice putting green, state-of-the-art club
rentals from Callaway Golf and a Pro Shop with a broad selection of
quality golf apparel and equipment. Private and group lessons are
also available for Wyndhurst Manor guests.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB – CULTURE
Culture abounds in the Berkshires with several renowned cultural
institutions located just minutes from Wyndhurst Manor. Art lovers

MoCA and the Norman Rockwell Museum. In even closer proximity,
guests can experience world-class performances at the Tanglewood
Music Center and Jacob’s Pillow, both of which invite the world’s
best talents to perform in Lenox every summer.
To help guests better experience the region’s artistic
community, Wyndhurst Manor also provides tickets to shows, a

esteemed universities located in the Berkshires. The property

accommodate groups of up to 185.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB – WEDDINGS
Situated among the Berkshires’ rolling hills, Wyndhurst Manor is
the ideal wedding venue for those seeking timeless elegance and
modern luxury. Originally founded as a country estate for New
York’s elite, the iconic Gilded Age hilltop mansion is home to six

winsome outdoor terrace, and a sprawling Great Lawn. With stunning
indoor spaces for exclusive and intimate events year-round
including receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers and
morning-after brunches, a wedding at Wyndhurst Manor is sure to be
a joyous and unforgettable experience for the couple and their
guests. Wyndhurst Manor’s proximity to Miraval Berkshires also
allows brides, grooms and bridal parties to experience relaxation
and pampering ahead of their special day.
WYNDHURST MANOR & CLUB – CULINARY
Wyndhurst Manor’s new restaurant, 1894 Fireside Bistro and Bar,
offers classic American cuisine in a historic environment and
features new culinary programming such as whiskey tastings.
Designed by award-winning Clodagh Design, the dining space utilizes
numerous mirrors to bring in views of the trees outside and
