About this city
Lenox is an exceptionally elegant, historic mountain resort town nestled within the rolling green hardwood peaks of the Berkshire Hills in western Massachusetts. Developed during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century as a premier summer retreat for America's high-wealth robber barons and literary elites, the village is lined with spectacular country estates. Today, Lenox holds an internationally revered status as a legendary cultural playground, merging world-class performing arts with a deeply progressive, restorative mountain wellness culture.
