The Mansion - The Glencove Mansion
The Mansion at Glen Cove was designed in 1910 by renowned architect, Charles Adams Platt. He was commissioned by John Pratt, an attorney, and executive with the Rockefeller family's Standard Oil Company.
Pratt was one of scores of wealthy Americans who built grand country estates at the turn-of-the-century, with acres of landscaped grounds. The Mansion at Glen Cove, formerly called The Manor, is also a movie star, used several times as a location in big Hollywood productions, and is one of the very first conference center hotels in the United States.
Pratt’s restaurant is the beating heart of The Mansion. Take the secret staircase to the third floor to find out why this enchanting restaurant is the perfect place to sample delicious meals like cajun blackened salmon or smoked mozzarella with local tomatoes. Host bachelor/bachelorette parties or a pre- or post-wedding soiree in one of our two private rooms. Listen to live music on the weekends, play billiards or plan a game night with family and friends.
