New York’s Catskill Mountains have always been a destination for breathtaking views, cascading rivers and dramatic fall foliage. In addition to outdoor attractions like skiing and hiking, local distilleries and farm-to-table eateries are opening in record numbers in this newly revitalized area. With the recent addition of Resorts World Catskills, The Catskills now offers state-of-the-art gaming, top-name entertainment, gourmet dining and luxurious indulgences to beckon visitors.
Bringing the Views Inside
With 100,000 square feet of gaming offerings, there’s plenty of action at the Resorts World Catskills, but unlike typical casinos that typically keep the outside away from the inside, the property was specifically designed to showcase the surrounding Catskill Mountains with expansive windows and skylights throughout.
The all-suite hotel offers luxurious accommodations from garden suites to two-story villas, where no detail is overlooked. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room allow for sweeping views, and the property’s mirrored exterior reflects not only sunrises and sunsets but also seasonal changes like fall’s vivid colors and the snow-capped mountains in winter.
Relaxation Above the Casino
Above the casino, the 8,000 square foot Crystal Life Spa is an oasis of calm. The Feng Shui-inspired facility provides signature pampering rituals and holistic treatments to create balance and harmony. The spa menu includes a selection of eastern and western principles that combine the best in cutting edge technology with wellness treatments like the Spa Wave by Gharieni, a state-of-the-art massage system. Utilizing vibro-acoustic frequency technology, it’s the only one of its kind on the East Coast and promises benefits such as deep relaxation, stress reduction and sleep enhancement. This ultimate healing massage incorporates orchestrated music and sound while the wave bed flows with each massage stroke, creating a multi-sensory experience that harmonizes both mind and body.
Facial and body treatments feature the Ling product line from celebrity facialist, Ling Chan, whose philosophy merges traditional Asian beauty principles with science, and incorporates natural ingredients, like green tea, aloe, and even rice.
Take a dip in the indoor circular pool, enjoy the view of the mountains from the outdoor balcony or soak in the hot tub before entering the spa’s cocoon-like relaxation lounge.
A Perfect Weekend Getaway
In addition to various bars, lounges and casual dining options, guests can splurge at Cellaio, celebrity chef Scott Conant’s Italian steakhouse, dine on fine Chinese delicacies at Lotus, or sample genuine Asian street food at Good Friends Market.
With top-notch gaming and entertainment, a multitude of dining options, luxe accommodations and a total Zen spa experience, Resorts World Catskills is the perfect weekend getaway to balance yin and yang.
