Places to Stay in New York

DETAILS AND ACCOMMODATIONS:

A National Historic Landmark owned and operated by the Smiley family since 1869, Mohonk Mountain House is a Victorian castle resort perched above a glacial lake on the Shawangunk Ridge, roughly 90 miles north of New York City and surrounded by some 40,000 acres of forest.

The award-winning Spa at Mohonk pairs body treatments with a year-round outdoor heated mineral pool, a eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, a solarium with stone fireplace and indoor relaxation verandas, while guided meditation, sound healing, yoga, mindfulness and fitness sessions run daily. Inclusive rates cover meals and most recreation, among it more than 40 miles of trails, the Labyrinth rock scramble, an Eagle Cliff via ferrata, rowboats and pedal boats, ice skating and cross-country skiing. A sandy swimming beach on Lake Mohonk operates from late May to early September. Pets are not permitted; service animals only.
