National Acclaim for 'The Keep' Sets the Stage for a Luxury Resort Experience Defined by Culinary Excellence, Wellness, and Adventure
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudland at McLemore Resort, the marquee Curio Collection by Hilton property perched atop Lookout Mountain in Georgia, is celebrating a series of prestigious national golf honors awarded to The Keep, the resort's acclaimed cliff-edge golf course. While these accolades reinforce McLemore's status as a top-tier golf destination, they also serve as a gateway for travelers to discover a resort defined by immersive wellness programming, culinary excellence, and outdoor adventure.
Most notably, Golfweek ranked The Keep No. 25 on its "Top 200 Resort Courses in the U.S." for 2026, marking the highest debut of any new course on the list. Sports Illustrated named The Keep "Best New Course" for 2025, and Golf Digest recognized it as runner-up for "Best New Public Course." Guests enjoy seamless access to The Keep, the award-winning Highlands Course, and the casual Cairn Short Course. However, the Cloudland experience extends far beyond the fairways.
Opened in 2024, the 245-key resort serves as the centerpiece of the destination. Each room is designed to complement the natural surroundings, featuring modern amenities, plush bedding, and private balconies or patios with breathtaking mountain views.
While golf draws many to the mountain, the resort's robust lifestyle programming keeps guests returning. The property features five exceptional dining opportunities, making it a culinary destination in its own right. Highlights include Auld Alliance, the country's first French-Scottish restaurant. Under the direction of Executive Chef Dustin Willett, Auld Alliance showcases inventive wood-fired dishes that elevate the resort's culinary portfolio. Guests can also enjoy all-day dining at Croft, casual bites at The Pocket Cafe, or seasonal cocktails at Skyside, the resort's cliff-edge poolside bar.
Beyond dining, Cloudland has introduced a series of wellness and adventure programming. The resort offers a serene spa with a cliff edge infinity pool, complimentary yoga sessions, and an annual curated Wellness Weekend designed to recharge guests. For thrill-seekers, the property acts as a gateway to outdoor adventures, including hang gliding, rock climbing, and hiking in state parks such as nearby Cloudland Canyon.
"Curio Collection by Hilton hotels are designed to be destinations unto themselves, and it's always an honor when major publications recognize them as such," said Brooke Thomas, brand leader, Curio Collection by Hilton. "Cloudland is about more than just golf; it has become a true lifestyle destination where elevated wellness, dining and outdoor activities blend to create connection and relaxation. It's a phenomenal example of the remarkable experiences Curio Collection hotels deliver."
Ideally situated for travelers from Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga, Cloudland offers an accessible luxury escape. For more information, visit Cloudland at McLemore Resort and follow the resort on Facebook and Instagram.
