Omni Bedford Springs Resort

For centuries, the Native Americans - likely the Delaware, Susquehannock, Shawnee, and Iroquois - used the mineral springs in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains for their curative powers, a custom that they shared with local doctor John Anderson in the 1790s. Anderson then began prescribing specialized treatments for afflicted guests, who journeyed from around the world to experience the healing waters. To accommodate the growing number of patients, Anderson built an inn in 1806 using stone quarried from the mountain adjacent to the springs. Over the next century, Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa added fine resort amenities, including one of the first golf courses and indoor pools in America. A $120 million renovation has since restored this National Historic Landmark, which is once again one of America’s grandest resort hotels.
