Select accommodations feature gas stoves, kitchenettes, fireplaces, and Jacuzzis; high-speed Internet access is also offered.
Diners have their option among three on-property restaurants. At Amuse, guests are introduced to regional, farm-to-table fare and a wine menu that won the prestige of Wine Spectator magazine's 2009 "Best of" Award of Excellence. Amuse also offers a Chef’s Table option, where diners can enjoy watching their meals be prepared right before their eyes. The inviting pub-type Tavern, popular with guests and locals alike, is a good choice for a laidback lunch or dinner and features live music on Thursday and Saturday nights. A spa menu is offered at each eatery, and specific diets can be catered to upon request.
In addition, the Essex's Cook Academy inspires guests to find their inner chef in an intimate classroom-kitchen setting.
