The Essex, Vermont's Culinary Resort & Spa

Lovely resort ! The food is amazing and the cooking classes are a blast. Lovely grounds and close to downtown Burlington. Very helpful staff and comfy rooms .

Awesome facility. Never had a bad experience. Get a massage , FREE bike rentals , and the shuttle will pick you up with a 10 mile radius. For good deals , check hotel tonight (app).

The resort ’s Cook Academy is the area’s premier non-degree culinary school and during the summer, the academy offers plenty of classes ideal for kids and families. Read more

Spacious room with a kitchen/dining area, couch and TV . Nice sized bedroom. Bathroom divided into sink and bath area .

Such a great hotel with beautiful views . Will be back with the wife. Delicious desserts in the cooler!

Quiet and cozy rooms with friendly service and amazing food.

A great wedding at The Ponds ! Fantastic food. The hotel is sure not up to their advertised 4 Diamond standards.

Make sure to check the upstairs relaxation lounge at the top of the stairs for a fresh smoothie mix.

The decoration, the building overall and the backyard garden

Had a amazing pedicure by Wendy... The spa staff are wonderful.. No need to go beyond Essex for a wonderful spa :-)

GREAT spa . No need to drive all the way to Stowe from Burlington now if you are seeking a destination spa resort experience. Read more

Nice gardens and high ceiling rooms.

Do not leave without getting a massage . The steam room is the hottest ever. Fantastic!!!!

Great food and unique atmosphere.

Fantastic place

True, no need to drive to Stowe from Burlington . Essex spa is much better than stoweflake (atmosphere and equipment are superb).

Your dog will be treated like a king

The mini chocolate croissants at bfast are incredible.

Its nice,but for its price you would expect more amenities . I was very disappointed there was no mini fridge or microwave. You can get a better bang for your buck elsehwhere.

Very comfy beds .

All day long

outdoor 8-shaped jacuzzi nice after a day of boarding. drink Vermont beers !

Sweet potato fries that are the best in Chittenden Cty. Paired with a Reuben...heaven.

No more Sunday brunch buffet :(. Still great off the menu but not as good a value.

Attended a beautiful wedding... Drank too much!
