Only a two-hour drive from Manhattan, located in the beautiful Catskill Forest Preserve, the Emerson Resort and Spa is an upscale rustic getaway overlooking Esopus Creek and the magnificent Catskill Mountains.

The resort provides elegant and comfortable accommodations in a large modern 53-room inn or a charming Adirondack-style lodge, with three luxury suites with gas fireplaces, private decks, and all modern amenities.

The guests enjoy a full range of treatments at the luxury spa, original Catskill cuisine in the elegant Woodnotes Grille restaurant, and the fascinating World’s Largest Kaleidoscope.

Get pampered on your weekend trip: The widely acclaimed spa has 10 treatment rooms, a large fitness center, an outdoor pool, and a hot tub.

Fun fact: The World’s Largest Kaleidoscope is located in a former silo fitted with a mini-theater presenting “kaleidoscopic” films.

Good to know: Outside the silo is a shop and display area selling everything related to kaleidoscopes, such trippy tubes for kids and interactive, artist-made ‘scopes.
