Fodor's Expert Review Lansdowne Resort and Spa

With more thanr 400 acres of hills and tall trees bordered by the Potomac River, Lansdowne specializes in outdoor activities and has miles of hiking and jogging trails. Guest rooms evoke wine country, with wine cask nightstands and mini bar carts adorning the contemporary furnishings. Dining comes with a view at many of the resorts' four restaurants, which range from casual fireside meals to fresh locavore cuisine. The Riverside Hearth, an upscale café overlooking an 18-hole golf course and driving range, is best known for its decadent Sunday brunch buffet. The expansive spa offers wine-inspired treatments, like the signature Chardonnay massage or facial.
