The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House sits on the resort's mountaintop property in New Paltz, part of a wellness tradition the Mountain House traces back to its 1869 founding. The amenity package centers on an outdoor heated mineral pool, a eucalyptus steam room, a dry sauna, a solarium with a stone fireplace, and indoor relaxation verandas, all set against views of the Shawangunk Ridge.
Day visitors are welcome, though overnight guests get priority for appointment times, particularly on weekends and holidays, and the fitness center and indoor pool are reserved for hotel guests only. Those visiting for the day can book through the resort's Spa Treatment Pass. Age requirements vary by service: 18 and up for massages and body treatments, 16 and up for facials, 12 and up for sensory experiences, and 7 and up for nail services.
Booking ahead is recommended, with the resort suggesting two to three weeks' notice for treatments and private instruction. Appointments require a credit card guarantee, and cancellations need 24 hours' notice or the full service charge applies. Service rates are inclusive, so no gratuities are expected. Electronic devices, including phones and cameras, aren't permitted in the spa and salon areas, and guests are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes early to settle in and use the amenities before treatments begin.
The spa is open daily from 8am to 7pm, with amenities accessible until 6:45pm.
