Celebrated for its exceptional luxury in the picturesque Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, the stunning and expansive Nemacolin resort invites guests into the wholly reimagined hotel, The Chateau, known for its Ritz Paris-inspired design, alongside new property revitalizations.
“As we grow and expand Nemacolin, we are consistently inspired to elevate our accommodations and guest offerings,” said Owner & CEO Maggie Hardy. “Our commitment to our guests and members is unwavering and this is best exhibited through the constant reimagination of the property. The Chateau was our second accommodation and is a known favorite among Nemacolin patrons and at the heart of all who experience it. For us to provide the unparalleled and luxurious service we are known for, it was imperative we reimagine the hotel’s interiors to reflect modern finishes that convey the real-life magic and whimsy we are known for.”
To continue offering exceptional luxury hospitality to guests and members alike, the Hardy family assembled a talented team of designers, builders and visionaries, including: 84 Lumber; Martik Brothers, Inc.; Moncur Design Associates, Inc.; Gensler; and King & Partners, to bring these revitalizations to life.

Transcending guests back in time to 18th-century France, the reimagined space embodies historic garden romance, extraordinary architecture and opulence.
