Wheatleigh
Italian-revival splendor in the Berkshires
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Four-Star

Nestled in the heart of the
Berkshires among a forest of tall evergreens and flanked by mountains is Wheatleigh, a 19-room Italian-revival resort steeped in history, architecture and atmosphere. The short drive from the street to the hotel’s horseshoe-shaped driveway is just enough to make you forget you’re in New England (it’s just two and a half hours from Boston and New York).
Wheatleigh, originally a house purchased by New York business and real estate tycoon Henry Cook in 1893, is a palazzo-inspired palace. More than 150 artisans came from Italy to create the intricate carvings you’ll see adorning the exterior and interior of the hotel.
Inside Wheatleigh, each room is architecturally different, but they all feature the same high-tech amenities and modern-day luxuries, like Bang & Olufsen entertainment systems, free Wi-Fi and Bose Bluetooth speakers.
