Hudson Valley’s Mohonk Mountain House has announced the appointment of Margaret Lora as spa director. In her new role, Lora will supervise daily operations at the 30,000-square-foot spa, as well as developing new treatments and offerings that encompass current and emerging wellness trends. Lora will also manage the spa’s range of retail offerings and create an overall experience that is reminiscent of Mohonk’s heritage of environment stewardship.
Lora has more than 15 years of experience managing spas across the country. She has utilized her creativity and business acumen to drive customer engagement, maximize revenues and increase guest satisfaction. Prior to joining Mohonk, Lora was national director of operations and sales at spa brand Exhale for nine years. Her accomplishments there include leading the pivot to digital platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic and helping the brand earn over 75 awards.
The spa wing at Mohonk Mountain House has 16 treatment rooms, a solarium, an outdoor heated mineral pool, indoor heated pool, fitness center, and yoga/motion studio. Fun fact: The eco-friendly spa is heated and cooled by a geo-thermal system and features a “green roof.”
“Mohonk has been a destination for the renewal of body, mind and spirit for over 150 years, and our spa has been an integral part of the wellness experience we offer,” said Barbara Stirewalt, vice president and general manager of Mohonk Mountain House, in a press release. “Equipped with an impressive history of leadership at some of the country’s leading hospitality spas, Margaret is the best person to bring Mohonk’s wellness program to new heights, and we are excited to see her develop [and] realize our vision for the spa.”
Mohonk Mountain House is a National Historic Landmark resort and Historic Hotel of America located in New York’s Hudson Valley, just 90 miles north of New York City. Owned and operated by the same family since its founding in 1869, the resort maintains over 85 miles of trails for hiking, biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
