Praise for The Hidden Jewel of Stockbridge by Homer E. Moyer Jr.
"This engaging history of a scrumptiously elegant summer getaway-a favorite of famed violinist Fritz Kreisler, eminent pianist Van Cliburn, and renowned Tanglewood conductors-lovingly chronicles entertaining recollections of Hotel Heaton Hall's final years." - Piotr Gajewski, Founder & Former Music Director & Conductor, National Philharmonic
"These behind-the-scenes accounts of the golden years of a grand New England summer hotel capture colorful, enjoyable tales of distinguished guests, classical music personalities, and an eclectic summer staff-and show hospitality in its purest form." - Michael Hoffmann, Managing Director, Arizona Biltmore Resort
"With warmth and humor, Homer Moyer brings to the history of Stockbridge and the Berkshires a memoir that captures the elegance, traditions, and caring environment that loyal, distinguished guests enjoyed at this "grande dame" hotel-memorable reflections of a bygone era." - Rick Wilcox, Berkshire Historian
Mid-20th century, Hotel Heaton Hall was the "Hidden Jewel of Stockbridge." Its old-world charm and idyllic location drew a distinguished clientele, including devotees and luminaries of the classical music world of Tanglewood, the nearby summer home of the Boston Symphony. The tasks of maintaining elegant, five-star service fell to perfectionist managers and college-age summer staffers. The Hidden Jewel vividly preserves scenes and anecdotes of a bygone era that are personal, heartwarming, and entertaining.
