Gateways Inn

The Gateways Inn is a magnificent neoclassical country inn, located in historic Lenox Village in the heart of the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts and reachable by car, bus and nearby airports in Albany, Boston and Hartford. The Gateways was built in 1912 as the private summer residence of Mr. Harley Procter, of Procter & Gamble Company. It was transformed in a B& B in 1948 and is famous also for the beauty of its exceptional entrance hall staircase built on designs from Stanford White. A fine dining experience can be had in either the main dining room or the smaller intimate Rockwell Room. In the summer both lunch and dinner are offered also on the lovely canopied terrace.

The Inn has 11 rooms plus a suite. All with private bath, individually controlled A/C, television and phone (a computer jack can be obtain upon request). Each oversized room has a personal character. Guests choose queen or king size beds. Some with fireplaces or four poster canopied beds. There is also the famous Victorian Room with double bed, firepalce and the original oversized bathtub custom-made for Mr.Procter. The spacious Fidler Suite has a separate living room and bedroom with sumptuous king size four poster canopy bed, separate dressing room and working fireplaces in both rooms and a jacuzi tub.

Due to the beauty of the location, it is also the favorite place for weddings, meetings and parties. Free tennis is available off the premises.
