This landmark date marks the arrival of The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House -- a new 30,000-square-foot wing housing a three-story facility that will enhance the comfort and contentment of Mohonk's guests. Linked to the Mountain House by an enclosed walkway, this all-new Hudson Valley spa will closely resemble the style and structure of the resort's 19th-century castle. It also provides a fitting addition to the recreation you’ll find throughout the 2,200-acre resort, allowing active guests to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Starting in Summer 2005, experience the outstanding amenities and services at this much-anticipated New York State spa resort, including: The full-service Spa at Mohonk Mountain House, featuring Signature Mohonk treatments Solarium, sauna, steam room, and outdoor heated mineral pool Instruction room for Pilates™, aerobics, yoga, qi gong, and meditation State-of-the art fitness center, fully equipped with cardio and strength equipment, treadmills, ellipticals, and bicycles An indoor heated swimming pool Environmental Stewardship Mohonk Mountain House is the perfect place for rest, renewal, and relaxation of body, mind, and spirit. In Mohonk’s continuing commitment to be “the same, only better,” the Spa's three-level design features wood, local stone and cedar shingles to complement the Mountain House’s existing architectural character. Architects designed the new wing with energy efficiency in mind, allowing Mohonk to provide wonderful new services for guests while treading lightly on our spectacular natural environment.  The building is environmentally friendly in its use of a geothermal heating and cooling system, as well as recycled and recyclable materials. A “green” sod roof is used on one section of the building, creating natural insulation and blending into the surroundings. Environmental considerations were key elements in designing the treatment menu for the spa. Signature treatments highlight botanicals abundant on the mountaintop. The pool building features windowed walls and lofty wooden beams (similar to those in the Skating Pavilion), allowing guests to feel connected to the natural beauty of Mohonk.  Throughout the Spa at Mohonk Mountain House, you will find all the special touches that let you know you have “come home again to Mohonk”— beautiful natural wood, a stone fireplace, and, as always, a staff of expert practitioners dedicated to making your spa experience extraordinary.
