Canterville Ghost at Shakespeare & Company

ghost-poster-300.jpgInternationally celebrated director Irina Brook and her company of talented Shakespeare & Company artists have freely adapted Oscar Wilde's story about a very American family that blusters its way into a haunted English manor, thoroughly annoying the stuffy old ghost who can't seem to scare them a whit. In this roaringly original adaptation, Sir Simon the Canterville Ghost is re-imagined as an over-the-hill illusionist reliving his glory days in the 1940's. Beneath the outrageous veneer of Wilde's achingly funny story is a depth of emotion, as the old ghost's long-delayed salvation rests upon a family's ability to trust, and a young girl's desire to believe.

This show runs from now through November 9th and tickets can be purchased by e-mailing boxoffice@shakespeare.org, going to their website and buying on-line, or calling 413-637-1199.

Hampton Terrace is located a block from Shakespeare & Company and frequently serves as a place the company houses its special guests and actors.   We are ranked #1 by Trip Advisor from among 30 Lenox inns, and recommended by BedandBreakfast.com as one of the top places in the country to stay while viewing fall foliage.

So pick a beautiful fall foliage weekend, choose a fireplace/Jacuzzi room at Hampton Terrace, one of the premier Berkshire inns, and prepare for Halloween with The Canterville Ghost at Shakespeare & Company.

Foliage Mid-Week Discounts at Hampton Terrace

images.jpgAs they say, the leaves are no redder on Saturday.   Or at least, I say that.

So considering that you have the same access to the Fall Foliage, the historic house tours, the museums, restaurants, shops and galleries, why pay 30% more for lodging?

Take advantage of our Mid-Week Discount…when every room in our Main House or Carriage House is $190/night, down from $260-$275.   And our King Suites are $250/night, reduced from $345.    And breakfast is as good on Wednesday morning as it is on Sunday.

Actually, I will go one step further….   On the weekends you'll run into lines at the restaurants and shops.   It will be harder to park in downtown Lenox or Stockbridge.  You can't be as spontaneous picking an evening activity.   Sunday through Thursday stay at Hampton Terrace.  

Better experience….pay less…any questions?

Hampton Terrace an "Editors Pick" at BedandBreakfast.com

Fall foliage trees

Lenox, MA– Hampton Terrace Bed and Breakfast, located in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains, was selected by BedandBreakfast.com editors as one of the best undiscovered inns for fall foliage trips.    Out of more than 7,000 inns listed internationally, Hampton Terrace joins a selection of less than 10 inns in the Northeast earning this designation.   BedandBreakfast.com is considered the leading b&b and inn directory on the web.

 “Lenox, MA has always been one of my favorite fall foliage destinations,” stated Sandy Soule, Editor of BedandBreakfast.com and one of the most highly recognized authors in the B&B industry.  “Hampton Terrace’s fabulous in-town location in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains, stately accommodations and architecture, along with the finest hospitality certainly made them a choice for one of the best places to enjoy fall foliage in New England,” Soule finished.

 “We are proud to be in such good company on this list of great places for fall foliage viewing,” stated Stan Rosen, Hampton Terrace co-owner. “It is gratifying to be recognized among the top inns in the United States for exceptional autumn appeal and quality accommodations. We think that our location, romantic amenities, great breakfasts to fuel a day of leaf peeping, and our attention to guest satisfaction contributed to our being selected by BedandBreakfast.com’s editors,” explained Rosen.

Step into Hampton Terrace, Lenox’s top-rated inn, and return to the gilded age of simplicity and beauty.  Built in 1897, this stately mansion was home to several of the wealthiest families in the country. An Inn since 1937, Hampton Terrace is located within an easy two-block stroll of Lenox town center and is one mile from Tanglewood, home to the famous music festival. Inside the inn, guests enjoy beautifully detailed common rooms and guests rooms, many complete with private fireplaces and double whirlpool tubs.  The inn’s signature three-story suspended staircase welcomes guests who immediately feel the sense of “WOW” from this grand building. While guest rooms are updated, air-conditioned and free wi-fi is available throughout the inn, the distinction of the gilded era is captured in antiques and vintage fabrics and wall coverings throughout the inn. A heated outdoor pool and beautiful gardens make autumn the perfect time to visit. Walk to Lenox's heralded shops and restaurants, alive in Berkshire mountain color, just two blocks away.
