Emerson Resort and Spa Sit Back, Relax, and Find Serenity
For an enchanting getaway just a short drive from Manhattan, Emerson Resort and Spa is as charming as it gets. From indulging in tranquil spa treatments to outdoor activities, your Emerson experience can be as relaxed or adventurous as you want it to be, and that even includes your accommodations. Choose to stay in The Inn, which is located in the same part of the resort as the restaurant and shops, or opt for more rustic surroundings at The Lodge.
Surrounded by nature, this 20-acre boutique property, located in the town of Mount Tremper in the Catskill Mountains, offers everything from guided hikes to bike rides along their picturesque paths, to postcard painting and upscale dining options. Savor seasonal specialties at their signature Woodnotes Grille, where you can enjoy local smoked salmon, fresh fish, and brunch favorites. Coffee, pastries, and sandwiches are available from Ralph’s Café. Due to their Stay Safe Pledge, the resort is committed to ensuring all guests remain healthy with the most up-to-date sanitizing practices, and they continue to remain closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Get ready to recharge when you step through the door of the spa, which used to be part of a temple. Legend has it that once you step over the threshold, all negativity leaves and positive energy takes over. With services ranging from massages to body scrubs to their Biotec Skincare System, a series of anti-aging and energizing facials, you can keep the positive vibes going all vacation long. Other popular treatments include vegan nail care and hot and cold stone treatments. Don’t forget to try a body scrub with their divine seasonal oil.
With friendly staff throughout the property, don’t be surprised if they know your name by the end of your stay. The enchanting Emer¬son mixes rustic chic with modern comforts, especially after
undergoing a six-million-dollar renovation, which is reflected in their public areas, 6,193-square-foot spa, and 53 spacious yet cozy rooms and suites. For a truly special stay, the Royal Suite looks out onto Esopus Creek and the wooded surroundings. Their Adirondack-style lodge, located just steps away from The Inn, offers all the comforts of a country home, with unique décor ranging from antler chandeliers to wood carvings, and is also ideal for large groups and families traveling together.
Named after the famed poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose love of nature is captured in his many poems, the Emerson pays tribute to Mr. Emerson with framed poems, classic books, and trays with his most inspiring words. These items can be found throughout the resort as well as in the rooms. After all, the Emerson is a place where Emerson himself would have felt inspired! The area itself has much history dating back to the 1800s, and it is now one of the best-kept secrets amongst Manhattanites looking for an unpretentious yet upscale getaway.
With two conference rooms, your employees can enjoy a relaxing retreat where they can get business done as usual—or rather unusual— with yoga, massages, and gourmet dining options. You can also say “I do” to the most romantic day of your life amidst the natural beauty of the Catskills. Their event spaces range from the Waterside Pavilion, offering views of Mt. Tremper and Esopus Creek, to the more intimate Great Room, intended for 60 guests or less, where you will find an imposing chandelier and fireplace. The charming Catamount is the perfect place for stunning indoor events year-round.
Located just a short drive from Woodstock, Emerson boasts being home to the world’s biggest kaleidoscope. You can also explore The Shops at Emerson, where various stores carry seasonal items as well as unique gifts, includ¬ing goods from local artists, clothing, and artisanal food products, all located within a converted 18th-century barn.
Small children and even dogs are welcome— enjoy the Emerson Pupgrade option, which includes a welcome basket featuring a dog toy, bowl, placemat, and treats.
