In this post, I'll tell you about my visit to The Spa at Mohonk.

Spa Reception and locker room:

The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House is located on the 3rd floor of the spa wing. Guests enter the spa through a retail shop offering spa products, clothing and gift items. After checking in at the reception desk, the guest is invited to complete a spa intake form near the fireplace before being led on a tour of the spa.

Keyless lockers contain your robe, towel and a bag to store wet swimsuits. In the showers, Rosemary Mint Shower Gel, Shampoo, and Conditioner from Essentiel Elements. Vanity amenities are supplied – like razors, combs and brushes, body lotion, hair products and hair dryers – everything a guest needs to get ready to enjoy the resort after their spa visit.
Chilled bowls of thinly-sliced cucumbers invite ladies to relieve puffy eyes; chilled chamomile facial spritzer refreshes skin after the heat of the steam room or sauna, located in the men’s and women’s locker room.

Treatment Rooms:

There are 16 treatment rooms including four facial rooms, three wet treatment rooms and two couples rooms, one with a fireplace. As an added feature, the wall between one of the couples rooms and an individual treatment room slides open to allow three guests to enjoy treatments together – a popular option for the multigenerational families who frequent Mohonk and want to enjoy massages together.

Spa Facilities:

There are endless places to relax at The Spa at Mohonk. Separate men and women’s verandas and a co-ed veranda feature self-service tea bars and bowls of fresh fruit. Walls of windows in the verandas let the outdoors and abundant natural light in. You can nap in the sunshine or shade on cushioned reclining lounge chairs covered in a cozy chenille throw blanket, while sipping one of five blends from TeaSpa: Romance, Energy, Purify, Earl Gray Jasmine and Immuni-Tea.

Step out onto the co-ed outdoor terrace and settle into a relaxing lounge chair or enjoy a soak in the clover shaped heated mineral pool. The half-moon shaped co-ed solarium features an impressive stone fireplace with mosaic tiling above the mantle, cushioned wicker furniture and a reading rack with newspapers and magazines.

The spa décor is so warm and simple, with touches of Mohonk’s signature colors of green and ivory and richly stained custom woodwork. The Smiley family’s private art and photography collection hangs on the walls for the enjoyment of guests. Green plants grow in just about every corner.
