Blantyre in Lenox, Massachusetts

The Ribbon Room, located in The Main House.

Settings for seduction, each of the 22 rooms at Blantyre is different in its palette and antique furnishings, yet they are consistent in their sensual bedclothes and attention to detail.*

Guests can choose to lodge in the Main House, Carriage House, or private Cottages.

Sunny Court is one of 11 rooms and suites in the Carriage House. These units are close to the spa, fitness area, and swimming pool. Some are spacious single rooms, some are duplexes with the bed up a flight up interior stairs.

The four-poster bed in our Sunny Court suite featured lined curtains, huge white velvet throw pillows, and the softest sheets under an immaculate matelasse spread.

Sunny Court also has a living room with two small couches, two velvet chairs, and a battered and ancient Louis Vuitton trunk used as a coffee table.

In addition, the suite contains two full bathrooms, a vanity area with a magnifying mirror, two small flatscreen TVs, and a flagstone patio with a wrought-iron seating area plus a table and chairs.

* A few of the details that make Blantyre so pleasant:

  • All arrivals receive a chilled bottle of Champagne (or non-alcoholic sparkling cider) with a fruit-and-cheese tray. Nibble a bit, and perhaps leave a few cherry pits: They'll be cleared away — with the remainder transferred to a smaller dish when the room is cleaned
  • A library of romantic CDs and DVDs (plus gorgeous picture books) is provided in-room
  • Toiletries are from Kiehl's
  • Closet poles for hangers are lined in velvet
  • Wi-fi is free.
