“It’s incredibly gratifying to be recognized in such a spectacular fashion so early in the game,” says Alan Stenberg, co-owner of Glenmere Mansion. “The recognition is testimony to the vision we had for Glenmere when we first discovered it as a dilapidated mansion in 2006 and the commitment of an extraordinary group of people who are devoting their professional lives to Glenmere and its guests.”

The Italianate structure with its lavish interior details was celebrated as one of the finest country homes in America. Today, as an intimate hotel, it affords guests the singular experience of immersing themselves in the luxurious lifestyle of the Gilded Age.
