Ascend to our Crestmont Inn room, named for the grand hotel that once crowned Eagles Mere's highest point. This hotel was a hub of activity, from tennis tournaments to carriage rides. Relive the elegance of that era in our 3rd-floor room, featuring a queen bed, desk/chair, 24" TV, A/C, and private bath with walk-in shower, perfect for two guests.
Room history
This was the last of the major hotels to be built in the area. It opened in 1900 with 110 rooms. William Warner built this hotel on top of the highest point in Eagles Mere with 200 workmen. There were two fires during its construction. Tennis was a long-standing tradition here, and Warner and his family ran it for 71 years. An unusual feature was a distribution of pears to the tennis tournament spectators. This hotel had the most scheduled activities, including horse-drawn carriage rides to Fulmer’s view (bring a picnic basket). The Eagles Mere Tennis Championships were among the top tennis competitions on the East Coast by 1915. $15/week was the special for a single room, and $25/week for a deluxe two-person suite. Employees were housed in the Evergreen Lodge built as an on-site dormitory. In the first half of the nineteenth century Eagles Mere was widely advertised as a vacation paradise. The Crestmont also featured its own 9-hole, par three golf course in later years.
