If you adore horses, this is a wonderful place to unwind, fine dine, watch horse shows, relax by the pool… I just love the vibe. Very “horse and hound” meets Ralph Lauren.

Beautiful and comfortable elegance
Loved the large marble bathroom, high ceilings and the most comfy mattress I've ever slept on! The lobby is over the top but tasteful and I loved the fresh lilies and orchid arrangements.

This property is an amazing jewel. The grounds are immense and truly a horse-lovers paradise if you are there to participate or watch an event. The lobby was classy, staff competent, and Stirrups restaurant was fabulous (a bit pricey but I expected that). My room was beautiful, large, and comfy. The only disappointment was that there was no in-room coffee maker but free coffee was offered each morning on the 5th floor. I attended an independent event in one of the property’s Expo buildings. It was super clean, spacious, and had adequate bathrooms and parking. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
