THE TROPICAL BIOSPHERE
Hotel pools have become much more than a place to swim laps and burn off calories. A pool can also serve as a resort’s architectural and amenity focal point, offering a place to exercise or unwind. Grand Cascades Lodge has accomplished both scenarios with its extraordinary 10,000 sq. ft. tropical Biosphere pool complex.
The Biosphere is the first structure of its kind in the U.S. to incorporate advanced German Foiltec roofing material, allowing nearly 100% light transmission for year-round tanning. In addition, a retractable roof which produces an extraordinary outdoor effect is a truly singular offering in the Northeast. Furthermore, our exotic freeform pools are surrounded by lush tropical foliage which was specially transported to be housed in the Biosphere.
Grand Cascades Lodge guests are invited to enjoy and experience refreshing indoor & outdoor pools, stunning mountain views, underground aquarium and a 140 foot Water Slide. {48” height requirement to ride the Biosphere Slide}
And for a light bite or refreshing drink, Taqueria features South of the Border inspired tacos and salads, freshly made gelato, imaginative tropical drinks and more.
