The Umstead Spa Unveils Top-to-Bottom Renovation

The top-to-bottom transformation has revealed an expanded facility that elevates every aspect of the spa experience. Guests now find:

• A total of 16,000 square feet of relaxation and treatment space, spanning two floors. Natural elements of river rock, granite, bamboo, and glass have been incorporated into the updated design, heralding The Umstead's location near William B. Umstead State Park. New textiles, locally crafted pottery and artwork also enhance The Spa's refreshed look.

• Heightened facilities for couples, including three dedicated treatment rooms, each with a private deep-soaking tub, a new coed relaxation lounge, and an open-roof coed current pool with 12-foot-high privacy walls that frame the Carolina blue sky above. A new Couples Spa Experience Package now pairs an overnight stay and late check-out with a choice of treatments to enjoy individually or together, starting at $519 plus tax and service.

• A new nail salon space including four pedicure stations with luxurious Lenox DS Pedicure Chairs that feature massage, recline and heating functions, and two manicure stations.
Expanded access to the hotel's swimming pool and fitness center also debut with the renovated Spa. Previously open only to overnight guests of The Umstead Hotel, both facilities are available Monday through Thursday to spa guests who spend more than $100 on treatments.
