Room 26: Wendy Wasserstein’s Writing Room

Our Aunt Wendy Wasserstein was a beloved playwright who was known for being the female voice of her generation. Her play, The Heidi Chronicles, won the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize. She won the hearts of so many fans because her witty, wise, and poignant plays spoke for all Uncommon Women. Wendy lived in Greenwich Village and the Upper West Side (in the same building as Madonna!) but she often felt most at home checking into the Lowell Hotel where she lived in between apartments. She would often go for a ‘staycation’ at The Lowell to write her plays. Innkeeper Melissa fondly remembers a weekend she shared with Wendy at a grand hotel in Florence, Italy where they shared a room with a view. So, it seems fitting to name this huge king room with a beautiful view for Wendy. The room has many of Wendy’s plays and books and articles. Wendy loved playing hooky from highschool at Ethical Culture by going shopping at Bergdorf’s and Bonwit Teller, so this purple floral room seems fitting to carry Wendy's namesake!

This is an extremely spacious south-facing king bedroom with breathtaking views of Mount Equinox and the Green Mountains. This guest room features a canopy, four-poster bed and chaise lounge to bask in the view from the oversized picture windows. Located in our Equinox View Villa, there is an ensuite bathroom. mini fridge, flat screen TV, free Wifi, window A/C, pet friendly, ground floor. 275 square feet.
