If you told me a spa in Colorado was named one of the best in America, I’d assume it was probably in a ritzy hotel in Aspen or Vail… And I would’ve been wrong!

USA Today looked into finding the 10 best hotel spas with the help of editors and their readers.

According to the list, Spa Monarch at the Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk is the second-best spa in the U.S.

“Don’t miss the Laconium Relaxation Lounge that features heated, contoured seating and warm floors. Other spa amenities include the Brine Inhalation-Light Therapy Lounge, a Mountain Stonebath experience, and herbal steam rooms,” said USA Today about Spa Monarch.
