Mirbeau Celebrates 25 Years and Earns Prestigious Accolades; Ratings Showcased on ForbesTravelGuide.com
ATLANTA — (February 12, 2025) — Forbes Travel Guide (“FTG”), the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises, today announced its 2025 Star Awards. All Mirbeau Inn & Spa properties, including Skaneateles, NY; Rhinebeck, NY; and Plymouth, MA, earned Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Awards. This is the 3rd consecutive year that Mirbeau Skaneateles and Mirbeau Plymouth in The Pinehills have received a Four-Star rating and the 2nd consecutive year for Mirbeau Rhinebeck. These properties are showcased with other honorees on ForbesTravelGuide.com. In 2025, there were only 645 Four-Star hotel properties out of around 187,000 worldwide.
For 25 years, the Mirbeau brand has provided guests with restful getaways, offering ambiance and amenities that balance their busy lifestyles. The very first Mirbeau Inn & Spa Skaneateles opened in 2000. Today, Mirbeau’s newest resort and 5th property is gearing up to open in early 2026 within the town of Beacon, NY. Mirbeau Inn & Spa Beacon will restore and reimagine the historic 64-acre Howland Estate into a premier destination for relaxation, wellness, and recreation. After more than 20 years of being uninhabited, Mirbeau Beacon will once again welcome guests to experience the estate’s transportive healing power — blending the signature amenities Mirbeau is known for with the breathtaking natural beauty of majestic trees, mountain vistas, and flowing waters.
“We are honored to receive Forbes Travel Guide’s Four-Star recognition, especially as we celebrate 25 years of Mirbeau’s dedication to exceptional hospitality,” says Michael Dal Pos, CEO of The Mirbeau Companies. “Forbes Travel Guide's standards for 2025 emphasized wellness and unique design that fosters a sense of place, both of which perfectly reflect the Mirbeau experience. With a new property on the horizon for 2026, we look forward to continuing our tradition of world-class hospitality for years to come.”
In the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes wine region, the 34-room French country-style Mirbeau Inn & Spa Skaneateles is tucked into 10 acres of Monet-inspired gardens and Koi fishponds near the quaint village of one of the purest lakes in the world — Skaneateles Lake. Mirbeau Inn & Spa Plymouth is a sophisticated 50-room retreat located in The Pinehills, less than 50 miles from Boston that combines the amenities of a French manor house with a world-class spa, beautifully landscaped Monet-inspired gardens, and Koi fishponds minutes from the downtown and beaches. Just two hours north of New York City, the 49-room Mirbeau Inn & Spa Rhinebeck is set in the center of the historic Hudson River Valley village and reminiscent of an old-world chic Parisian hotel with an elegant spa.
Forbes Travel Guide is the world-renowned authority on excellence in hospitality, and these Mirbeau Inn & Spa properties are the latest additions to its illustrious annual Star Rating list.
“Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Award winners exemplify excellence in hospitality,” says Amanda Frasier, President of Standards & Ratings for Forbes Travel Guide. “This year’s list continues to reflect the changing landscape of luxury with properties setting the standard for authentic experiences while offering unparalleled amenities, enhanced well-being, and delivering unforgettable moments.
