I have about a 2-3 hour break before I’m expected to show up for a pre-dinner reception and several hour dinner….I thought I’d spend it blogging about my trip down to the Nemacolin resort.
(Please excuse the quality of the pictures, I took them from my phone.)
I picked up my coworker from her hotel room at 11:45am on Sunday and headed to my boss’s house. From there, we loaded up his car and drove down to PA.

After a 5hr, completely uneventful drive, we pulled onto the grounds of the resort. This is the view of the building I’m staying in as we pulled up:
My parent company arranged the hotel reservations for all of the employees. Unbeknownst to me, they reserved the club level (5th floor, penthouse-type rooms) for all of the women. The club level benefits include a private floor (you have to have a special key to access the floor in the elevator), in room check-in service from your butler, around-the-clock butler service and a private lounge on the floor that is constantly stocked with food and beverages.
I was pretty impressed with all of that to begin with and then was BLOWN-A-WAY. when I saw my room.
I have a full-fledged suite – a bedroom and full sized living area. I think my suite is probably just about the same size as our entire apartment that we used to live in. I have a full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower as well as a full sized jetted tub. And in the living room area, I have a powder room. And 2 chandeliers!

Bedroom (there’s a little desk off to the side):
Full bathroom (my pictures DEFINITELY do not do it just justice):
(There are actually 2 sinks/vanities and the mirror above them is probably 6ft wide and 4ft tall! It takes up the whole wall!)
This is the private lounge last night after dinner:
It also has a roof-top deck that I didn’t take pictures of – too dark.
The lounge was stocked with liquor for the guests!
The floor is absolutely littered with chandeliers and artwork. Apparently there is about $2.5M worth of art on my floor alone.
Hallway:
Purty!
This is the lobby area to get to my room:
My room:
And, to wrap up the tour…the landing strip directly outside my room (I took this from my private balcony):
