Our newest property, the just acquired Stonehedge Inn& Spa
is one cool place.
Nestled away on ten acres of New England woodlands on the
banks of the Merrimack River and surrounded by state forest in Tyngsboro,
Mass., Stonehedge Inn & Spa is known through the region as a great place
for wine lovers, business travelers and guests in search of a romantic getaway
in the classic setting of an upscale European country house. The three-story
hotel has 30 guest rooms, a restaurant that seats 180 and a lounge and bar
capacity of 30.
But for wine lovers in particular, Stonehedge is a dream.
It is renowned for having the largest wine cellar in New England and the second
largest wine cellar in North America. We will continue to cater to the wine
lovers, including an upcoming wine by the glass program.
Stonehedge has received the coveted Wine Spectator Magazine’s Grand Award for 17 years in a row from 1996 to 2013. The award is
presented to less than 75 restaurants worldwide and is the industry standard
bearer for the finest wine lists in the world.
The hotel’s flagship wine event has been its monthly
winemaker dinners, which have been held for 25 years running. During these
dinners, Stonehedge invites celebrated winemakers and proprietors form around
the world to share their passion and enthusiasm for wine at a five-course
dinner event.
Levent Bozkurt, the proprietor of the Stonehedge Inn
& Spa since it was built in 1988, can be credited for creating a legendary
wine list and an environment at the hotel that offers experienced wine
consumers and novices the chance to learn and taste wine.
Levent believes that everyone should be able to enjoy a
bottle of wine, from the under $10 wine, to the aged wine, to the new varietals,
to the new releases. He also believes that everyone should be able to enjoy a
glass of wine with everything from a simple burger to a gourmet dinner. As
such, the wine experience is paired with the dining experience at Stonehedge.
With our acquisition of Stonehedge Inn & Spa the
hotel will be rebranded as part of our Troca Hotels collection of global
curated lifestyle hotels. This means the rooms will be refreshed to update the
color schemes, linens, window treatments and an emphasis on discreet but
progressive technology. All public areas will be updated, including the
development of additional meeting and banquet space. The renovations will
include a significant redesign of the bar, lounge and restaurant. New
programming will make the signature restaurant more accessible to a new generation
of discerning clientele. As with all our properties, the emphasis is on curated
lifestyle amenities and features and signature restaurants and bars with live
entertainment, so you can expect music events to be part of the new culture of
Stonehedge.
However, the wine reputation of Stonehedge Inn & Spa
is definitely something we will be continuing to build on and we are counting
on Levent to continue to lend his passion and expertise in this area. He will join
the board of Boston East India Hotels and continue to advise the property on
its wine offerings.
Our President and CEO Abhijit “Beej” Das says the Stonehedge
Inn & Spa will be the flagship property of the Troca Hotels collection and
he is excited to bring the hotel under his wing and into the family.
There is really nothing like the Stonehedge Inn & Spa
in the Boston area and we are thrilled to now be able to call it our own!
