The Best Destination Spas in the US & Around the World: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards
"The American Club comprises a number of buildings sprinkled throughout the eastern Wisconsin town that the Kohler family—yes, of Kohler plumbing fame—built in the early 1900s. While the original American Club building is a highlight, book a stay in the Carriage House just a few steps away, which gives guests unlimited access to the Waters spa and other amenities. The Kohler Waters Spa explains why Kohler got into hospitality in the first place. The three-level experience, stretching across the ground level, basement, and rooftop of the Carriage House, is designed to showcase Kohler’s best showerheads, bath tubs, and more. (The signature treatments emphasize water as well—like the hydrotherapy “massage,” in which guests receive a minty scrub while lying on a massage table, as warm water from a number of showerheads rain down from above.) A shuttle ride away are the Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses and River Wildlife, a 500-acre outdoor recreation area with walking trails, canoeing, fishing, and a quintessential hunting lodge."
