The Collection

History

Lenox hotels always a perfect blend of comfort and charm.

-Benjamin Beier DDS / Customer since the 80s

The history in Lenox is undeniable.

It’s intertwined; the beams and opinions are part of the roots of our structures, the bones that built our houses.

From the Whitlock, whose two-room structure housed John Whitlock and his family until the late 1770’s when he opened his doors as one of the first inns in Lenox. His farmlands occupied much of what is now downtown Lenox along Church Street throughout the Revolutionary War until it was sold to the town in 1815.

With the help of his own growing family, he moved what was Williams Tavern at Triangle Park to old Stockbridge Road, enlarging the facility to be a rooming house for others who worked on the estates. Today, it is where you stay with us begins, still surrounded by towering trees and a veranda.

Heritage is intertwined with our history, but those roots are not the reasons we bloom. The good, the bad, and the gilded remain part of New England. And while we meticulously honored hand-carved pieces and bay windows, the modern amenities and electricity aren’t the only pieces we decided to rewire.

History is part of the charm of Lenox; the colonial style homes and wrap-around porches hold sway and are reason enough to immerse yourself in the town we call home. Falling in love with the Berkshires is commonplace. But the traditions you create, and future memories made are your reason to fall in love with the Lenox Collection. 

We thank you for your presence and are honored by your visit.  We wouldn’t be able to call it anything other than a privilege.
