Preserving the Past and Enhancing the Experience

We’re pleased to share that our exterior restoration project has entered its second phase, a thoughtful effort to preserve the timeless beauty of our 110-year-old historic resort while continuing to elevate the guest experience.

The work will take place through summer 2025, with restoration moving through different sections of the property during this time.

Some room views may be slightly impacted by scaffolding, and light noise may occur Monday through Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm . No work will take place after hours or on weekends to ensure a more peaceful stay.
