Membership
The concept of Membership has a historical precedent here and in our environs. When the Litchfield Firehouse was built in 1891 by Julius Deming Perkins, he created a gentlemen's club on its 2nd floor — Tweeds and Tees — where the fire brigade could unwind and make merry.
Recently awarded a coveted MICHELIN Key and named #1 New Resort In The U.S. by Travel + Leisure, Belden House & Mews is honored to be recognized for immaculate full-scale hospitality. Membership at Belden House & Mews will offer an in-town gathering place to dine and meet, while Belden bathhouse provides a refuge for self-care, Wildsmith Treatments and Thermal Rituals, a pool and a lawn club.
Enjoy access to Belden bathhouse, our wellness facility that includes steam, sauna, a Japanese Ofuro tub for cold plunge and hydrotherapies. Designed to support recovery, repair and balance, our Wildsmith Treatments and Thermal Experiences are inspired by the universal principle of circadian rhythm and delivered by highly trained practitioners who will guide and help deliver profound results. Members receive preferred pricing to support and encourage a regular treatment routine.
Utilize our fitness studio with NOHRD equipment during one-on-one personal training sessions. Pilates (mat and reformer), Katonah yoga, alignment + PT sessions are available on site. More information and preferred member pricing will be published soon.
Please note that upon Membership's launch, Belden bathhouse will no longer be available to non-hotel guests.

Firehouse
Constructed in 1891, this brick edifice was once home to a gentlemen's club referred to as the Tweeds and Tees. Currently undergoing thoughtful updates, the parlor and top floors will once again serve as a clubhouse for members to gather. Refreshed in collaboration with Champalimaud Design, this space features multiple working fireplaces, grand windows and comfortable furnishings.
Serving as a third space, hard to come by in our community, members can gather to mix and mingle, bring guests for meetings, use the space to work or play. Enjoy coffee service by day and cocktails in the evening. Order lunch from the dining room and use the game table for a round of backgammon. Gather for program, exclusive for the member community. Use Firehouse as your home away from home.
