Omni Bedford Springs Resort

Travelogue

If you seeking to leave the hectic modern world behind and transport yourself to the idyllic past — all without sacrificing any modern conveniences — Omni Bedford Springs Resort awaits. A National Historic Landmark, the resort has been pampering presidents, celebrities and vacationers for more than a century. Play a round on one of the oldest golf courses in the country, carved into its pastoral Pennsylvania setting by legendary golf course architects (Donald Ross, Spencer Oldham and A.W. Tillinghast all left their marks here). Then relax in the spa as water washes over you from the property's ancient mineral springs that have drawn visitors to this sacred spot for thousands of years. After treating yourself to one of several fine-dining restaurants within the resort, retire to the stunning main hotel building, which underwent a $120 million renovation in 2007 that restored it to its historic grandeur, while outfitting it with top-notch modern amenities.
