Meals developed by Michelin-starred chef Mads Refslund are locally sourced and plant-based (and alcohol-free). There are no TVs in the serene guest studios, just space for contemplation.

The former estate of poet-naturalist and farmer Myron B. Benton, Troutbeck has played host to Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The historic Tudor manor is set on 250 leafy acres in Dutchess County, with a pool, tennis courts and opportunities for fly fishing and nearby horseback riding. Last year, the hotel unveiled the Barns, an airy movement studio and spa offering fitness classes, yoga, meditation, Kinesoma, acupuncture and massage. Want to brush up on your Benton? Peruse his verse in a riverside hammock. Rooms from $240; Troutbeck
NEMACOLIN; FARMINGTON, PENN.
If Nemacolin’s opulent Chateau looks familiar, it’s because this season of “The Bachelor” was filmed entirely at the Versailles-esque resort that’s located 90 minutes outside Pittsburgh. There’s much to do at the palatial property, from paintball, zip-lining, Jeep off-roading and more, but the Holistic Healing Center and the Woodlands Spa and Salon are its crowning glories. Treat yourself like a queen with the latest modalities — float therapy, whole-body cryo, infrared sauna and red-light therapy — or energy-centering practices like acupuncture and Thai poultices. Rooms from $599; Nemacolin
Like a next-level summer camp for adults, Hutton Brickyards has everything from an archery range and a croquet lawn to live concerts.

Its chic new cabins are appointed with luxury linens, apothecary bath products and requisite tech. Chef Dan Silverman (previously of Balthazar and Minetta Tavern) leads the new open-air restaurant, the River Pavilion, which serves wood-fired fare. Bring your own bug juice. Rooms from $275; Hutton Brickyards

Fans describe the massages (choose from six types) as “sublime.” When the Carrara marble-lined hammam reopens, hopefully later this spring, the cleansing and purifying rituals are not to be missed.
