These Upstate New York Spas and Retreats Are a Refuge for Rest and Renewal | Condé Nast Traveler

"Built with reclaimed wood from the old Tappan Zee Bridge, The Barns is a light-splashed wellness oasis at the Troutbeck Hotel in Amenia, New York. While the hotel dates back to the 1700s—counting among its guests nature-loving thinkers like Thoreau and Emerson—The Barns opened in 2020. There, guests can enjoy spa treatments, from massage therapy to acupuncture, as well as forest bathing, infrared sauna sessions, and a Kinesoma dance experience aimed at restoring the body, boosting awareness, and bringing a sense of renewed joy. Soon, native wildflower meadows they’ve seeded will envelop and embrace the wellness area, so it's best to start planning a visit now." - Caitlin Gunther, Jessica Chapel
