‘Old-world Parisian chic’: Mirbeau to open inn and spa in Hudson Valley, New York
by Jane Kitchen | 08 Feb 2019
Based on the Mirbeau philosophy of balancing life with wellness and indulgence, the Mirbeau Inn & Spa Rhinebeck will be designed by Arrowstreet Architecture and Design in a style reminiscent of an old-world chic Parisian Hotel
Mirbeau will open a new inn with a 12,000sq ft spa in Rhinebeck, New York this fall.
Based on the Mirbeau philosophy of balancing life with wellness and indulgence, the Mirbeau Inn & Spa Rhinebeck will be designed by Arrowstreet Architecture and Design in a style reminiscent of an old-world chic Parisian Hotel.
Located in the heart of Rhinebeck, a short drive or train ride from New York City, the inn will offer 50 guest rooms and the Mirbeau Bistro & Wine Bar alongside the spa.
The spa will include 14 treatment rooms and feature a ‘European-style Resting Area’, Aqua Terrace with thermal pool, eucalyptus-infused steam room and Himalayan salt saunas as well as the latest in fitness.
The first Mirbeau Inn & Spa opened in 2000 in the small village of Skaneateles, in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, with a 15,000sq ft Spa Mirbeau at the heart of the property.
Mirbeau, loosely translated as “reflected beauty,” is inspired in part by the soft light, warm colours and introspective character found in the paintings of renowned French Impressionist Claude Monet.
Family-owned and operated by Linda and Gary Dower, Mirbeau also operates a resort at The Pinehills in Plymouth, Massachusetts, US and a Spa Mirbeau in Albany, New York, US, all of which pay homage to French architecture and design.
