Canyon Ranch respects people’s decisions about whether to drink in moderation, as well as their choice of wine, beer or spirits. Canyon Ranch advises that individuals with concerns discuss them with their doctors.
Based on a review of current research, Canyon Ranch’s position on alcohol is that moderate alcohol consumption may well help many people live longer, healthier lives, but that excessive drinking can lead to health problems. In addition, factors such as genetics and family history of alcohol abuse mean that some individuals are better off avoiding alcohol completely.
Canyon Ranch in Tucson and Canyon Ranch in Lenox are alcohol-free environments. We do not disapprove of alcohol, and guests are of course free to bring it with them to consume in their rooms. But the resorts are designed to be isolated environments, apart from the world, in which individuals can change their habits in just a few days. This “immersion” environment is designed to place people in a new context where they are moved to reflect on existing patterns and choices, and drop, adjust and add new patterns and choices to their lives. We want to present all our resort guests with the healthiest possible choices, so that they can experience how good healthy living makes them feel. They have more opportunity to do that if their perception is unclouded.
At Canyon Ranch Living® and Hotel and SpaClub® properties by contrast, our goal is to bring our lifestyle, our programs, and our philosophy into everyday living; alcohol in moderation will be part of that for many residents and guests. Within the Living community we seek to support people in making modifications to the way they live, day in and day out, and to reduce barriers to healthier choices presented by traditional vacation and business travel, while addressing the joys and challenges of typical lifestyle patterns. Alcohol is served at Canyon Ranch Miami Beach, and at Canyon Ranch Grill™ at The Venetian® and The Palazzo® in Las Vegas. We offer guests organic, sustainable and biodynamic wine, beer and spirits, and cocktails made with wholesome, homemade mixers.
