The Lodge at Woodloch, the spa at the award-winning family resort nestled in the pristine mountain lake region of the Poconos, has undergone a modern rustic renovation by the award-winning architecture and interior design firm D’Aquino Monaco. Carl D’Aquino and Francine Monaco have created a timeless and inspiring environment that is in tune with the traditional architecture and rustic elegance of the building.

The dynamic design can really be seen in the modern detailing and finishes, from the soft crème white paneling to the tongue and groove wainscoting to the custom furnishing in the new men’s and women’s sanctuaries. The renovation has added much-needed seating in the men’s and women’s retreats to meet the increased demand of spa treatments. The women’s retreat has more than doubled in size and added a social suite for groups who want to chat or hang out after treatments.

The men’s retreat has also gained an additional thirty percent in seating, including an outdoor patio. “We love repositioning our projects and welcoming a new demographic through the introduction of contemporary design elements,” said Carl D’Aquino. “At Woodloch we completely reorganized the retreat and lounges to include additional sanctuary spaces and to connect to the amazing outdoor landscapes.

The arrangement of the furniture is more lush and lounge-like, create intimate spaces and moments of comfort and privacy for individuals while providing larges spaces for gaggles of women to come together.”Francine and Carl did a similar make over on the Silver Rain La Prairie Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, with great success.
