Rediscover Elegance: Nemacolin’s Transformative Updates Enchant Guests

Nestled in the picturesque Laurel Highlands, the iconic Nemacolin resort has long been synonymous with luxury and opulence. With its latest updates, including the reimagination of its famed hotel, The Chateau, and several other property enhancements, Nemacolin continues to elevate its stature as a premier destination for hospitality and indulgence.

A Reimagined Landmark: The Chateau

The Chateau has undergone a breathtaking reimagination. From the moment of arrival under the grand porte cochere to the glowing ambience of its redesigned lobby, guests are immersed in a world of refined luxury. Enhanced with Macchia Oro marble, sparkling crystal chandeliers, and sumptuous fabrics, the interiors pay homage to 18th-century French elegance while incorporating modern comforts, sophisticated style, and stunning touches.

Each of the 124 guestrooms has been meticulously redesigned, offering elevated furnishings, updated technology, and luxurious soaking tubs. Guests seeking an exclusive experience can reserve accommodations on The Chateau Club Floor, featuring access to a private lounge, morning breakfast, and evening cocktails, all amidst refined decor and a soft, harmonious color palette. The Chateau’s Presidential Suite offers 2,200 square feet of unparalleled space, including two bedrooms, a palatial private patio, and an impeccable design scheme.

The Chateau offers luxurious libations as the perfect complement to its lavish accommodations at the wholly reimagined Lobby Bar in the space of the former tea room. This picturesque room is bathed in natural light, illuminating the brass inlay and marble accent floor which frames the sensational scalloped bar. The soft pale, barely blue tone that adorns the room’s paneling is the perfect extension of the lobby while creating a unique identity encouraging guests to enjoy their time within. Crystal chandeliers twinkle against the opalescent textured ceiling, while luxurious brass metals add to the interior’s character. Accents of Quartzite Esmeralda stone bring the room to life and create a beautiful juxtaposition with the scalloped brass bar and adornments, all creating a flawless atmosphere to sip one of the Lobby Bar’s signature cocktails.
