The Equinox, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has welcomed visitors with open arms since 1769. Located on historic Route 7A in the shadow of Mount Equinox, it is set on 1,100 hilltop acres. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with gardens and small sculptures throughout. This premier resort has long been a favorite of notables, including the Lincolns, Tafts, and Roosevelts—the walls are full of fascinating historic photos. Guests are offered a truly well-rounded adventure at this classic New England getaway. From world-class golf at the Gleneagles golf course and skiing at nearby Stratton and Bromley mountains to falconry, Orvis fly fishing and shooting schools, and even off-road driving with Hummers and Land Rovers, this place is a paradise for sports enthusiasts. The Avanyu Spa and nearby shopping in Manchester Village appeal to others, and three restaurants combine historic charm and classic fare for enjoyable dining experiences.
