Luxury Hotel Vermont
Introducing a brand Luxury Hotel Vermont and a host of brand new offerings.
“The name change has been a long time coming, and we’re delighted that it’s now official,” said Jim Glanville, manager of the Resort. “‘The Inn at Essex’ served us well for many years, but the fact is, we’re not really an “inn” and haven’t been for some time. We’re a full-service resort with 120 guest rooms and suites. At this luxury hotel Vermont, our guests can choose from two on-site restaurants and a multitude of cooking classes run by the New England Culinary Institute. There’s an on-site trout fishing pond, a world-class rock- and ice-climbing and challenge course. We’ve got a championship golf course, tennis courts, banquet and conference facilities, balloon rides, and come May, our own full-service spa and natatorium—we’re significantly more than an inn.”
In the summer of 2009, the luxury hotel Vermont known as The Essex will expand its public culinary teaching program by opening a new hands-on kitchen with capacity for up to 24 participants. As with nearly all amenities offered at the Resort, all culinary classes will continue to be available to the public as well as to overnight guests.
