"Housed in a 1902 mansion that was once an Astor family estate, this Relais & Châteaux retreat sits on 75 acres of woodland trails and manicured gardens originally designed by the son of Frederick Law Olmsted. The property is elegantly traditional, with wood-burning fireplaces, antique furnishings, plush robes and a serene spa. Its award-winning culinary program, led by Jason Bangerter, emphasizes estate-grown produce and foraged finds to create polished dishes such as truffled leeks, venison with coal-roasted cabbage and beetroot gnudi." - Claire Sibonney
