New York State: Step Back in Time at The Mohonk


During the Gilded Age American aristocrats vacated to rustic but elegant retreats. Many were seasonal but The Mohonk Mountain House has managed to survive and still provides the same high level of ambiance and service year round. Step back to a less stressful time with a visit to a place so special it is a National Historic Landmark and a member of the Historic Hotel of America. Built in 1869 this grand Victorian resort has a prized location overlooking the Hudson River Valley. Cross-country ski past snow-laden trees. Create your own "Currier and Ives" experience ice skating at the Pavilion but return in time to enjoy afternoon tea. Then retreat to the warmth of the spa.

The three-level design features wood, local stone and cedar shingles to complement the Mountain House’s existing architectural character, Along with the solarium, stone fireplace, and outdoor heated mineral pool, enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool, and state-of-the-art fitness center. The pool building features windowed walls and lofty wooden beams with views of the beautiful property.

Along with The Spa’s 16 rooms, solarium, stone fireplace, and outdoor heated mineral pool, enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool, and state-of-the-art fitness center. Choose among yoga, Pilates, Qigong, aerobics and water classes.
After the restorative spa treatment curl up on a sofa by a crackling fire with a favorite book. Winter will soon became a favorite time of the year.
