Mohonk Mountain House

In 1869, rocky cliffs rising above a crystal blue, glacial lake in the Hudson River Valley inspired Albert Smiley to create Mohonk Mountain House as a resort where guests could renew body, mind, and spirit in a beautiful natural setting. Now, over 150 years later, this historic New York hotel is still owned and operated by the Smiley family. What began as a small guesthouse evolved into a Victorian castle with fanciful turrets, local stone, and gabled-frame constructions, set on 1,200 acres of spectacular scenery. The award-winning, eco-friendly spa marks the resort’s first addition in more than 100 years. The 30,000-square-foot spa wing blends seamlessly with the existing building, enhancing the timeless ambiance of this historic resort. A U.S. National Historic Landmark since 1986, Mohonk Mountain House is truly among the most historic hotels in America.
