Following extensive renovations, three storied boutique properties located in downtown Lenox are reopening together as part of The Lenox Collection, a newly reimagined family of inns connected by their deep historical roots in the town and elevated contextual design. As part of the reopening is Ophelia’s, a 66-seat restaurant and bar offering farm-to-table comfort food in an intimate indoor-outdoor setting, with locally sourced ingredients and curated cocktail list. New York-based firm 388 Ventures acquired the properties in 2021 and brought on independent hotel management company, Life House, to lead design and branding, as well as oversee all hotel and F&B operations leveraging their tech-enabled management platform.
LENOX â Two business partners who recently purchased the historic Church Street Inn for $2.6 million have added two more downtown bed-and-breakfasts to their portfolio for a total downtown Lenox lodging industry investment of $5.5 million in March.
Seth Johnson and Russell Lange spent a combined $2.9 million for the Birchwood Inn on Hubbard Street, across from the Church on the Hill just north of the business district, and for the Rookwood Inn on Old Stockbridge Road, adjacent to Town Hall.
The two latest real estate transactions were recorded March 30 at the Berkshire Middle Registry of Deeds. The partners acquired all three properties through Lenox Collection LLC, an entity controlled by 388 Ventures, the New York-based company co-owned by the partners, Johnson told The Eagle.
