East Coast Escape: Lansdowne Resort

Full from Thanksgiving eats and in need of a quick getaway, I headed to Lansdowne Resort in the scenic Hunt Country of Loudoun County, Virginia. Designed to exude the casual elegance of a country manor, Lansdowne is located just 35 miles from Washington, D.C. and is the premier, full-service resort of the capital region.
A AAA Four Diamond property, the resort recently underwent a $55 million renovation and features 305 guest rooms, 14 suites, five restaurants, a 12,000 square foot spa, two championship golf courses and more. During my stay I experienced the fabulous Three Dimensional Hydrating Facial at Spa Minérale, homemade sorbets at the Golf Club, signature cocktails from the resident mixologist and wine pairings at the resort’s upscale On The Potomac restaurant.
EAT - Select On The Potomac at Lansdowne Resort for fine regional American cuisine, utilizing fresh local ingredients, The Riverside Hearth for regional specialties served buffet or a la carte style, or enjoy casual fare in Stonewalls Tavern. After a round of golf, venture over to the clubhouse (resort guests and members only) and dine at the Crooked Billet and enjoy the views of the beautifully groomed golf course or enjoy sports and a burger at the Pub 46.
