The Luxury Resort That Is The Self-Proclaimed 'Premier Wellness Destination' Of The Midwest

Tucked away in Kohler, Wisconsin, is the highly acclaimed, AAA five star, five diamond-rated resort known as The American Club. It's recognized for its luxury accommodations, excellent restaurants, award-winning restorative spa, and stunning golf courses. Just an hour from Milwaukee or three hours from Chicago, the aptly named Kohler Waters Spa is one of only 85 Forbes Five-Star spas across the globe. 

You may be familiar with the name Kohler as a luxury brand of plumbing products founded by John Kohler in 1873, who is also responsible for creating the first modern bathtub. The American Club was built in 1918 as a place for new immigrants to live when working at Kohler. In 1981, it was remodeled as a luxury resort, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is now a member of the Historic Hotels of America.

At the Kohler Waters Spa, guests will discover the curative powers of water that soothe and heal. Before and after your treatments, relax in the sauna, steam room, and relaxation pool, or brave the cool plunge pool as a part of the spa's hydrotherapy circuit. Treat yourself to massages, facials, energy therapies, and holistic treatments, all designed to enhance your sense of well-being. Or, book a "Massage Two-gether" with your partner. You can also relax and unwind at the Spa Café with a selection of healthy salads, sandwiches, and smoothies. Recently introduced is the Spa Retreat, which is a package that offers an entire weekend of rejuvenating spa services. You can indulge in hydrotherapy, yoga, wellness sessions, and nutritious cuisine and meet others who will share your journey. You'll come away reinvigorated in body and soul.

At The American Club, you'll find 241 elegant guest rooms and nine restaurants. Luxury accommodations await you with rooms featuring spacious bathrooms (all with Kohler bath fixtures, of course) and a whirlpool tub. Feel like a good workout? Check out Sports Core in town for fitness activities like swimming, tennis, pickleball, and more, all available to guests of The American Club. You can also enjoy high-energy indoor bike riding sessions with Bold Cycle or loosen your muscles with a class at Yoga on the Lake.

If golf is your game, The American Club offers access to four amazing courses designed by Pete Dye, one of the most creative golf course architects to have ever lived. The courses, including the stunning lakeside Whistling Straits, have hosted numerous PGA and Ryder Cup tournaments. Want to perfect your swing? Play the Kohler Swing Studio with TopGolf Swing Suite or the aboutGolf Simulators. The Kohler Golf Academy also offers professional instruction to improve your game.

To spend some time in the great outdoors, the nearby Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, is considered one of the Midwest's most underrated parks. And cheese lovers can indulge in some of Wisconsin's famous varieties at The Immigrant, one of the resort's on-site restaurants featuring an artisanal cheese menu. If a Midwest weekend away to recharge is what you're after, The American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin is a hotel with one of the best spas in the world and the perfect destination for relaxation.
