ROBERT DE NIRO goes there, UMA THURMAN goes there, TIM ROBBINS goes there and RAY CHARLES played the piano in room 4, and so did I . I am talking about EMERSON PLACE a five-star
(*****) hotel and spa and institute near Mount Temper , in the Woodstock area. It is surrounded by natural beauty and mountains near the Esophus river. The rooms are designer filled with Hermes soaps and Ferre
bath towels. Roses greet you when you enter the door and a jacuzi is for your private use. They have just started a lecture series beginning with ancient Egypt. The writer Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery,
The Talisma and Egypt Decoded along with JOHN ANTHONY WEST, author of Serpent in the Sky, were the featured speakers. Mr. West lives in the immediate area and takes tour groups to Egypt (the best).

The comfortable rooms are rich with canary yellow walls and deep puffy couches. Platers of fruit are everywhere to be found. Lunch is served on the patio, dinner in private wine storage rooms. They boast
5,000 varieties at least.

And when you are ready, a mud wrap or steam treatments await you in the very private hut and spa, where aromatic aromas fill the air.

The second lecture is about Maps.
Also, they are starting a cinema , movie and dinner theater soon to open.

Its a treat, its a joy, run there like I did.
