We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but Labor Day is just around the corner! And while summer officially goes until September 21st, let's face it - Labor Day traditionally is the marker to the end of the season.

The good news is, that Autumn in the Berkshires is an absolutely fabulous time of the year - and in the short time since mid June when the new owners purchased the Kemble Inn, a lot of work has been completed for you to enjoy on your next visit. We will leave it for you to decide what you like best. Whether it's all of the brand new Ralph Lauren bed linens and towels, the backyard furniture to relax and unwind in, our updated lobby and dining room, or perhaps one of our redecorated suites.

History

Originally built in 1881 by President Chester Arthur’s Secretary of State, Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, the Kemble Inn has since graced the town of Lenox, MA with its stately grandeur. A welcoming foyer and sweeping staircase with its Palladian window are the testament to the elegance and opulence of a bygone era - but for you to enjoy!

At the turn of the 19th century Berkshires was a haven for the wealthiest of Americans. Here, they built their splendid mansions, “The Berkshire Cottages”, in the richness of styles that reflected the taste and aspirations of their owners. An example of this wealth of expression is Ventfort Hall and just across the street The Kemble Inn. Both were designed by renowned architects of the time, Arthur Rotch and George Tilden, but in styles so vastly different – that the two do not seem of the same era.
