In the world of luxurious hospitality, the Sharp family name stands out for developing the luxury boutique hotel concept. Think Gramercy Park Hotel and The Carlyle in New York City, The Saranac Inn in upstate New York, and Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles. The Weston, opened to guests last November in Weston, Vermont, is the most recent property to open in the Sharp family’s portfolio.
Formerly Inn at Weston, the two-building property underwent a 2.5-year renovation, and this beautiful, country-style home now offers nine deluxe accommodations — with five guestrooms, a two-room Carriage House, one-bedroom Mill Suite and The Weston Suite. Each room is uniquely designed and carefully curated.
In addition to the hotel’s Le Spa and The Left Bank restaurant, which recently received a Wine Spectator Restaurant award, a sophisticated Wine Room is available for private tastings. The Left Bank offers room service and à la carte breakfast for guests and is open to guests and the public for dinner. The restaurant is run by noted Executive Chef Brett Combs.
Le Spa offers guests curated treatments with precisely the rejuvenation they seek, with the space encompassing steam and sauna rooms for enhanced relaxation, as well as luxurious shower facilities.
The Weston has also launched The Farm, further supporting the Sharp family’s commitment for personalized service and complementing the property’s approach to hospitality, with an emphasis on an unmatched epicurean experience.
This first-of-its-kind regenerative farm and food program in Vermont marks a new endeavor to the property’s commitment to culinary excellence. Set on 600 acres of land, The Farm’s greenscape is a quarter-acre with a 20-by-100-foot greenhouse and 100-by-150-foot outdoor space designed for four-season farming.
The Farm will cultivate produce all year with a heated greenhouse to seamlessly transition between seasons. Committed to sustainable agricultural practices, the property’s year-round seeding plan uses ecologically restorative farming techniques, resulting in all produce free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and herbicides.
The regenerative farm believes in organic practices and will nurture more than 50 internationally sourced artisanal seeds, carefully curated to provide a farm-to-table dining experience at The Left Bank, as well as to introduce an enriched array of produce rarely found in Vermont’s culinary landscape. Among these edible treasures are radicchio, French heirlooms, salsify, black strawberry tomatoes and Pusa Asita black carrots.
Produce from the farm is harvested daily and transported to The Left Bank, supplying the restaurant and heavily influencing the seasonal menu and specials each week. Additional offerings at The Left Bank include hand-crafted, herb-infused cocktail specials; pickled vegetables; house-made jams; and herbed butters, adding fresh flavors to the restaurant’s menu.

Sep 24, 2024Indulge in Wellness in an Oasis of Calm Aboard the New “Queen Anne”
The London traffic seemed to slog even slower than usual. The ride seemed never-ending. The anticipation was palpable. I was on a bus with fellow media, making our way from London’s Leicester Square to Southampton, England, to be among the first to step aboard Queen Anne, the first new cruise ship from Cunard Line in 14 years, just as it joined its sister royalty — Queen Mary II, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria — in plying the globe’s waters. With a capacity for 2,996 guests and measuring 1,058 feet in length, Queen Anne sails itineraries in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Western Europe and the Canary Islands.

Sep 24, 2024Discover this Little-Known Gem of a Course in Roatán, Honduras
Roatán was one of those best-kept secrets known only to scuba divers and snorkelers when I first visited it in the 1990s. A skinny little island off the north coast of Honduras, it sits on the world’s second-largest coral reef, an underwater paradise stretching 625 miles along the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. With its white-sand beaches, clear waters and friendly people, Roatán couldn’t remain undiscovered, but it is still one of the Caribbean’s better preserved and more eco- conscious destinations. It is not entirely immune to hurricanes, but it lies to the west of most major storm tracks.
