Lenox, Massachusetts has given the Cranwell Spa and Golf Resort’s $80 million renovation and expansion project the go-ahead.
In January, Miraval Group, which was acquired by Hyatt this year, purchased the Cranwell for $22 million. It got approval at last week’s town Zoning Board of Appeals meeting to build up on the Gilded Age mansion property.
The expansion will add 43 rooms, a new spa and wellness center, and additional parking.
The mansion will no longer be used for guest registration or as a reception center. It will continue to have hotel rooms, fine dining, entertainment and event space.
The project is expected to be completed in May 2019.
