Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires

At the turn of the twentieth century, aristocrats sought fresh air and natural serenity in the Berkshires. Today, groups visiting Canyon Ranch, located in Lenox, Massachusetts, find the same spirit of rejuvenation that popularized the region so long ago. The resort's architectural centerpiece, Bellefontaine mansion, replicates Louis XV's Versailles chateau and houses many components of Canyon Ranch's famous wellness program. Glass-enclosed, climate-controlled walkways protect groups year-round and lead throughout the property, including the 126-room inn, home to a variety of meeting rooms.

The area's mountainous surroundings provide ample opportunities for corporate team-building events or leisure activities such as hiking, cycling, kayaking, and cross-country and downhill skiing. Lenox, with its collection of art galleries waits within walking distance. A little farther afield, Tanglewood and the Norman Rockwell Museum highlight the many nearby cultural attractions.
