The Chateau at Nemacolin
A grandiose gem in rustic Pennsylvania
With its regal façade, patterned after the Ritz Paris, The Chateau at Nemacolin brings elegance to the Pennsylvania countryside. Inside, the guest rooms feel grand and traditional, with vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers. They're made even more impressive by the attentive service of white-gloved butlers on the club level.
The luxury hotel's grand lobby, with white columns, carved wood walls and a formal tea room, is a sophisticated place to sit with a drink from the lobby bar, but you might not find yourself spending much time indoors — the resort offers a staggering list of things to do. Play a round at either of the two pristine golf courses, join in on a Polaris off-roading adventure or visit to the zoo animals that live on the grounds.
