Lenox MA (November 12, 2001) � In 1993, when the currrent owners of
Cranwell Resort & Golf Club first saw the historic 19th century hotel

had a vision. Today, that vision has become a reality as Cranwell
flourishes as a premier 107-room four-season resort with a championship
Golf Course and Golf School.
In March 2002, the resort will crown
its multi-million dollar renaissance by opening The Spa at Cranwell,
a 35,000 sq. ft..full service resort spa designed with the intention of
creating the largest, most fully equipped resort amenity spa of its kind
in the Northeast. �In the past few years Cranwell has established itself
