If you’re craving a treat—or want to spoil someone special—The Grand Resort in Warren, Ohio, is calling. Just an hour from Canton, this Northeast gem offers indulgence without the journey. My husband and I recently spent a weekend there, proving luxury is only a short drive away.
We arrived Friday to our Deluxe King Room—a haven of crisp linens, a stocked wine fridge, and spa-scented toiletries that hinted at relaxation. The view of the resort’s grounds felt like a quiet escape. “This is our time,” my husband said, and I agreed, already unwinding.
The Grand Resort knows how to pamper anyone seeking a luxurious retreat. We booked a couples massage at the Grand Spa—50 minutes of bliss that melted stress away. The spa offers facials, mani-pedis, and more; I added a hydrating facial and left glowing. The Roman Bath, a 90-degree outdoor pool open year-round, was a highlight—its warm waters a steamy embrace we didn’t want to leave.
Dining stood out, too. The Wine Cellar and Lounge offered 24 wines on tap; we sipped Cabernet by the fireplace, paired with truffle fries thanks to the staff’s spot-on tips. The Chophouse served a melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon with warm service, while breakfast at The Atrium—croissants and coffee—felt like a slow, perfect start.
The resort’s year-round charm shines. The indoor pool was a cozy dip, and while golf courses tempt in summer, we opted for a yoga class in the fitness center. Tennis, pickleball, and a rec center add variety, but we loved strolling the grounds, picturing them in every season.
Back in Canton, just 50 miles away, we felt refreshed. The Grand Resort is close enough for a whim, yet feels worlds apart. Book at thegrandresort.com for a massage, a wine night, or a Roman Bath soak—treat him, her, or yourself to luxury that’s restorative and right nearby. The best escapes don’t need a map, just a quick drive to feel grand any time of year.
