Aurora, New York, is so small it doesn’t have a stoplight, but this waterside village in the heart of the Finger Lakes has an outsized reputation, thanks to its fabulous hotels and a new wellness center.
Staff from the Inns of Aurora were the guests of April s Wednesday Morning Roundtable, where they reflected on the vision of the luxury resort, the imminent opening of its spa and more.
Laura Coburn, the Inns director of serenity, moderated the hour-long Zoom program and was joined by its chief operating officer, Sue Edinger, and its creative and marketing director, Alex Schloop.
Edinger began the program by reflecting on meeting Inns founder Pleasant Rowland in 2003. Looking to restore buildings in the historic village as a gift to her alma mater, Wells College, Rowland recruited Edinger from a career in hospitality in Washington. As she explained Wednesday, the American Girl entrepreneur wanted people to experience Aurora the way it was in the 1800s.
