A Storied History
Nestled in Westchester County, Briarcliff Lodge was launched in 1902 by Walter William Law, a former businessman and a scientific farmer.
The first hotel in the area, it was also one of the largest luxury resorts in the world. From presidents and royalty, celebrities to high society, it was a destination location for summer retreats for those who appreciated the finer things in life, including among its guests such notables as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, and even the king and queen of Siam.
With the dawn of Prohibition and the shift to modern transportation methods, quick jaunts rather than lengthy vacations became the norm, and Briarcliff Lodge transformed into a health and wellness retreat. Later, it became the Edgewood Park School for Girls and then King’s College.
In 2003, the building caught fire, and large sections were destroyed. Senior Lifestyle, out of respect for the property’s past and with a vision for the possibilities of the future, began reconstruction. Thus, The Club at Briarcliff Manor was created, a beautiful Tudorstyle tribute to its storied past but with all the comforts of modern conveniences.
“…
to be placed every convenience, and every device which modern luxury demands. Without it was to be a dream of architectural beauty; within, an illustration of the refined and artistic era in which we live.”
– WALTER WILLIAM LAW
