"Located in Litchfield County and transformed from a boarding school into an inn in 1920, this Auberge property balances New England tradition—four-poster beds, gleaming wood floors, chintz—with a modern redesign by Celerie Kemble that introduces witty handmade furniture, bold artwork, and refreshed color palettes. Spa programming is anchored by an imported Well wellness concept that blends Eastern and Western practices, and the country-chic Garden Room offers seasonally changing dishes such as turnips à la bourguignon, kale gnudi, and fried quail." - Nicholas DeRenzo
