Monarch Hot Tub – Spacious 5-Person Spa for Luxurious Relaxation

The Aspen Spas Monarch is a 7 ft hot tub that seats five adults in an 82 in x 82 in footprint. Its two deep captain’s chairs are positioned to open up an unusually large footwell, and Aspen’s thinner spa lip adds interior room, so it feels spacious for its size. Three bench seats and a step entry complete the layout.

Every Monarch is built in the USA by Aspen Spas of St. Louis, Missouri, using Aspen’s Enviro Spa Construction: a 7-layer reinforced acrylic shell, high-density foam structural pillars, and an ABS base pan made from recycled plastic. Aspen’s Polar Insulation Package helps hold heat in, and the low-maintenance poly lumber cabinet has a real wood look. All models include an ASO3 MicroCell ozone system, Gecko controls, an external drain, and two XL contoured pillows.

The Monarch is available in three series. The Value Series (VS) is the entry model and is the only one offered in a 115V plug-in version. The Great Series (GS) adds a second pump, more jets, 100 sq ft Microban® treated filtration, multicolor lighting, and an 8 in cascade waterfall. The Extreme Series (ES) adds high-flow volcano foot jets, a standard 24-hour circulation pump, a touchscreen with Wi-Fi app control, full three-zone LED lighting, an illuminated waterfall, and the longest warranty of the three.
