Nemacolin
More-is-more American mega-resort with strong European pretensions. Each of the five lodging properties has its own personality — from art deco to Tudor to French château — and the grounds feel like a small private town. Formal butler service is standard everywhere, and the art collection (1,000+ pieces) is legitimately serious.
Ask about the 'secret' Blue Room hidden behind a door at The Chateau — it's used for afternoon tea and private events
Why It Matters
Completed a jaw-dropping $500 million reimagination in May 2024. Now part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts' prestigious Legend Collection. One of only a handful of US resorts with two AAA Five Diamond hotels on the same property. Hosted Season 25 of The Bachelor in 2020. The Grand Lodge is a member of Historic Hotels of America.
Nemacolin sits on 2,200+ acres in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh. Five separate places to stay means you're essentially picking which universe to live in for a few days — the art deco Falling Rock (adults-only, AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star), the French-inspired Chateau (freshly reimagined after a $500 million renovation completed in May 2024), the Tudor-style Grand Lodge (now all-suite), or private Estates and Homes for groups. All properties come with butler service. Two Pete Dye championship golf courses. A 30-room Forbes Four-Star spa. A casino. And actual African lions and Bengal tigers on property.
