Nemacolin

A Resort Like No Other...

“While many vacation retreats offer a range of attractions, few could truly be described as magical, and Nemacolin resort is that exception.”

Located in the sweeping hills of Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands, this year, the resort is celebrating its 35th anniversary, which is made extra-special by the fact that the same family still owns and runs the entire estate. For the third consecutive year, Nemacolin has won 22 Forbes stars, which are well-earned by the resort’s three highly-individualized options for accommodations, as well as their awe-inspiring on-site restaurants and award-winning Woodlands Spa. Both Lautrec, serving Euro-American cuisine, and Aqueous, Nemacolin’s fresh and vibrant eatery inspired by the sea, have contributed to these illustrious stars. Finally, when it’s time for an adventure, Nemacolin offers a truly diverse range of attractions that can be enjoyed year-round.

Accommodations

Inspired by the Ritz Paris, The Chateau offers glamorous chandelier-clad rooms and suites, along with on-site dining at Lautrec, which serves a menu as decadent as the restaurant’s alluring surroundings. Reserved for overnight guests and resort members, Lautrec invites visitors to partake in a remarkable six-course chef’s tasting menu. The restaurant is also home to six original lithograph prints from the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, which you can take in as you sip one of the 12,000 bottles of perfectly-curated wines housed in the cellar, which is Pennsylvania’s largest. A newly added Patisserie serves up the sweetest of decadent treats!

Newly reimagined, The Grand Lodge, is inspired by nature and a true retreat for wellness-focused travelers. Innovative new dining concepts are offered at Fawn & Fable and the Circle Bar.

For the architecture-lovers, the resort is home to Falling Rock, which is inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture nearby. It offers luxury amenities and art-deco interiors that will leave you feeling rested and inspired and world-class dining at Aqueous and Amber Bar is sure to delight the most discerning of palettes.

Destination

There are also plenty of adventures for the adults and the Peak offers a year-round hub of adventure, including luxury cabanas; dining inside, outside, or poolside. The Peak also offers Jeep off-roading, cosmic bowling, indoor axe-throwing and paintball. If art is more your speed, tour one of the three on-site art galleries that are home to permanent and special collections that rotate throughout the year including the on-site Hardy Family Art Collection featuring more than 1,000 pieces of fine art. For the animal lover, be sure to book an encounter with Nemacolin’s Wildlife Adventures or go horseback riding on an equestrian adventure.

When it’s time to relax, book a specialty service at the Woodlands Spa and Salon, awarded 14th in the U.S. for Spa Resorts by the Conde Nast Traveler 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards, on top of the spa’s 4-star rating by Forbes. The spa offers a sauna, a steam room, pools and fireplaces – all of which make it a perfectly idyllic experience. The world-class services include a range of facials, massages and holistic treatments. To further embrace your mind, body and spirit, head to the Holistic Healing Center, which offers curated wellness packages that include consultations with coaches who can guide you through the treatments that will be most beneficial for you. The center offers saltwater float therapy, cryotherapy, infrared light therapies and so much more.

Nemacolin is also known as a world-class destination for golfers thanks to its two on-property courses that were designed by the legendary Pete Dye. From the scenic Mystic Rock course, which sits atop the Allegheny Mountains, to Shephard’s Rock, where golfers will greet a course as fun as it is challenging, there’s truly something for players of all levels. The kids can even join-in on the fun at the 18-hole Fallingbrook Mini Golf course. The cutting edge golf academy provides world-class instruction and ways to level up one’s game.

Whether you’re looking for a restful retreat set in the most picturesque of backdrops, or a fun-filled family getaway that will keep everyone busy, Nemacolin has something for you. Pack your bags and leave a little extra room for some magic.”
