From the moment I arrived at the estate, I felt an immediate sense of calm and escape from the stressors of everyday life. The drive up alone set the tone for a peaceful and luxurious stay. Upon entering the hotel, I was warmly welcomed by two friendly young ladies at the front desk who made the check-in process seamless and inviting.
Since I was celebrating my birthday, I booked a Preserve Room with a balcony--and it did not disappoint. The room exuded tranquility and comfort, beautifully designed with modern touches that instantly made me feel at ease. I knew right away that this was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy my spa getaway.
That afternoon, I had lunch at The Captain Bar, a cozy lounge featuring a fireplace and soft, ambient lighting. It was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. The rest of the evening was spent in the serenity of my room, soaking in the quiet and comfort.
The next morning began with a workout in the well-equipped fitness center, which offered everything I needed--from treadmills and an elliptical to free weights and a stationary bike. Afterward, I took advantage of the hotel's scenic surroundings and went for a three-mile bike ride around the property. The grounds were immaculate, dotted with ponds and graceful geese, and lined with stunning new estate homes under construction.
Later that day, I treated myself to a two-hour spa experience at Spa H, which was nothing short of exceptional. The relaxation lounge provided a peaceful space to unwind before my treatments. Eliana, my massage therapist, gave an incredible hot stone and foot scrub massage, perfectly addressing the areas I had mentioned. Following that, Miriam performed my facial--truly the best one I've ever received. Her skill, care, and kind compliments about my skin made the experience even more special.
That evening, I dined at The Patterson, where my waiter, Luke, provided outstanding service. He recommended the half chicken with pickled squash, which was absolutely delicious. To top off my birthday celebration, he crafted a custom cocktail with tequila, rosé, and a little extra flair--a thoughtful touch that made the evening unforgettable.
After dinner, I returned to my room to enjoy a soothing bath, the perfect end to my relaxing birthday retreat.
Overall, Hotel Hartness exceeded every expectation. The property is stunning, peaceful, and impeccably maintained, with modern, elegant design throughout. Every detail--from the hospitality to the dining and spa services--reflects a commitment to excellence.
If you're looking for a serene and luxurious escape to recharge and reconnect with yourself, I highly recommend Hotel Hartness.
