Crown XL™ Hot Tub by Nordic
The Crown XL™ is a spacious round hot tub for buyers who want a refined balance of comfort, power, and easy entry. As part of Nordic’s Classic Series, it pairs a generous step-in/cool-down seat with barrier-free seating for up to six adults, making it a strong fit for households in Traverse City and nearby communities such as Kalkaska, Boyne City, and St. Helen. If you want a classic backyard spa with generous seating and a strong hydrotherapy profile, the Crown XL™ brings those priorities together in one well-proportioned design.
Phillips Lifestyles supports the ownership experience with product guidance and services that fit hot tub shoppers well. That includes free in-home consultations, installation and maintenance support, hot tub repairs, a spa maintenance program, and showroom test soaks for hot tubs. For local buyers comparing models, that service stack helps make the next step feel practical and informed.

Features and comfort
The Crown XL™ is built to make entry and soaking feel inviting. Its step-in/cool-down seat adds a shallower place to sit and helps create a more comfortable transition in and out of the tub. The layout supports up to six adults, with multi-level seating that gives the spa a relaxed, social feel without crowding the experience.
Water performance is a standout here. Nordic’s Dual Therapy System combines high-volume whirlpool flow with targeted direct-pressure jets to create a balanced hydrotherapy session. The spa uses 49 Nordic Star™ stainless steel jets overall, including directional and dual rotational styles, so the water movement feels varied rather than repetitive. A 2-speed, 3 hp continuous-duty pump supports strong circulation on both settings, and the 4 kW heater on 220V helps maintain comfortable soaking conditions.
That combination is especially appealing for buyers who want a hot tub that feels substantial but still straightforward to use. The 38.5-inch depth makes the Crown XL™ a practical choice for families and taller users, while the round footprint keeps the design classic and approachable. Standard foam insulation is included, and the optional Nordic Wrap™ adds extra thermal protection for buyers who want additional insulation support. Optional ozone sanitation support is also available through Nordic Clean™ or Nordic Pure™, and the standard footwell LED adds a helpful touch of visibility.
For buyers who want a little more atmosphere, the available Mood Lighting Package™ and Bluetooth stereo upgrade can expand the experience without changing the tub’s core purpose: comfortable, whole-body soaking. The result is a spa that feels purposeful, not overcomplicated.
One practical detail that stands out is the Crown XL™’s balance of size and accessibility. At 84 inches round, it offers a roomy footprint without drifting into oversized territory, so it can suit backyards and patios that need a substantial spa but still benefit from a clean, circular layout. The 400-pound dry weight also makes it a meaningful installation project, which is exactly why coordinated planning and setup guidance matter before delivery day.
The jet package is designed for variety as well as quantity. With 49 total jets and a mix of directional and dual rotational styles, the spa gives different seating positions different water feels, rather than relying on one uniform spray pattern. That is helpful for households where users have different preferences for pressure and massage intensity.

Phillips Lifestyles support
Phillips Lifestyles backs the Crown XL™ with services that matter before and after purchase. Its team offers installation and maintenance services for hot tubs, swim spas, fireplaces, and entertainment tables, plus free in-home consultations to help with product selection, measuring, and placement planning. Buyers can also use the company’s spa maintenance program for routine care support, and hot tub shoppers may request a test soak at the showroom.
The vendor also presents itself as a Northern Michigan specialty dealer serving the region since 1980, with two showrooms and a team that includes sales, service, delivery, and maintenance staff. For customers who value both product selection and hands-on service, that combination can simplify the path from research to ownership.
Because the Crown XL™ is a full hot tub, the ability to evaluate fit in person matters. A test soak can help shoppers get a better feel for seating depth, step-in access, and jet placement before making a final decision, while consultation support can help align the spa with the space available at home.
Local context
For shoppers in Traverse City and surrounding communities, the Crown XL™ fits the kind of home setup where relaxation matters year-round. It is also a natural fit for buyers comparing spa options from places like Kalkaska, Boyne City, and St. Helen.
If you like to unwind after time outdoors, a nearby name such as Young State Park is an easy local reference point for the area’s relaxed, lakeside lifestyle. That kind of setting pairs naturally with a spa designed for quiet evenings, shared soaking, and simple comfort at home.
For additional regional context, Backus Creek State Game Area is another familiar Northern Michigan landmark that reflects the outdoors-focused pace many local buyers appreciate. A hot tub with a roomy seating plan and comfortable entry can be a natural complement to that kind of lifestyle.
