The Equinox Resort Review
The Equinox defines the geographic center and historic heart of Manchester Village and has been the fancy hotel in town—and in the state—since the 18th century. A head-to-toe renovation in 2008 re-elevated the property to the lofty tier befitting its white, two-story Doric columns and bellhops uniformed in jodhpurs and knee-high argyle socks. Rooms have huge flat-screen TVs, leather chairs, two-tone cream wallpaper, plush-top mattresses, and marble bathrooms with granite sinks. If you crave Colonial, the brown 1811 House across the street is part of the resort. If you've got big bucks, ask for a room in the Charles Orvis Inn next door, which has hot tubs and private porches. The spa is the best in southern Vermont; the concierge will arrange falconry, fishing, or shooting lessons; the resort's golf course is across the street; and there's a new wine bar in addition to three good dining choices.
