The Essex Resort & Spa

A luxurious destination for corporate retreats and group events, the 120-room Essex Resort & Spa covers 18 acres in scenic Lake Champlain Valley outside Burlington, Vermont. Meeting planners delight in the extraordinary array of amenities, activities, and hands-on culinary programs to entertain and rejuvenate guests. Whether swinging golf clubs or racquets, perfecting a yoga pose, or rising for breakfast on a hotair balloon, the choices abound. For team-building nothing beats a cuisine competition at the Chef’s Cook Academy, or the challenging Northern Lights Rock & Ice Ropes Course.

Meetings get creative when surrounded by the splendor of a 5,000-acre Vermont forest at The Ponds at Bolton Valley venue for up to 325 attendees. For post-meeting pampering, the acclaimed Essex Spa awaits with a full range of relaxing body treatments.
