Our intimate setting is comfortable for groups under 100, and can accommodate banquet seating for up to 250 people, with a maximum of 325 people for large group functions. Our professional staff will transform the Great Room into the configuration that works for your organization’s needs – theatre, classroom, U or T or box-shapes and, of course, elegant awards banquets where our creative culinary chef’s talents will delight you and your attendees.

Panoramic views from every window, elegant post and beam craftsmanship, vaulted ceilings, and a river stone fireplace are just a few of the striking architectural features of the setting in which you’ll conduct your business with the benefits of on-site catering.

Conveniently located just minutes from Burlington International Airport, The Essex Resort & Spa is the ideal spot for your next Vermont conference or executive retreat. The tranquility of the beautiful, 18-acre Resort will inspire your team, while our abundant selection of activities, both onsite and throughout the area, offers thrilling entertainment when your workday is done.
