Autumn is here, and you know what that means! It’s time for cider, s’mores, and that beautiful fall foliage. New York’s Hudson Valley and Catskills regions are both prime viewing areas to see those electric orange, red and yellow leaves. From the woodsy trails of Woodstock to the horse farms of Bedford, we’ve scoured Upstate to find the best boutique hotels for the perfect fall getaway:
HASBROUCK HOUSE
Formerly the Inn at Stone Ridge, the Hasbrouck House opened its doors this summer after an amazing renovation. The luxury boutique hotel has a beautiful aesthetic, top-notch service, and one excellent farm-to-table restaurant, Butterfield. The full review with more pic: here.
Bedford Post Inn
The 8 room inn, owned by Richard Gere, is as enchanting and luxurious as can be. It’s hard not to relax here, with private in-room fire-places, claw-foot soaking tubs and a yoga loft with daily classes. Their rustic Italian restaurant, Campagna by Chef Michael White and the Altamarea group, is a destination unto itself. The full review with more pic: here.
Spruceton Inn
The Spruceton Inn is among the most serene and refreshingly country getaways of them all. Situated in the heart of the Catskills, the 9 room motel-style Inn is only 2.5hrs New York City but feels light years away. The full review with more pic: here.
North Branch Inn
Charming beyond imagination, the North Branch feels like a home away from home. No detail is left untouched at this 9 room inn, where the rooms are full of character and well-appointed. They even have a 2-lane bowling alley that dates back to the early 1900’s. The full review with more pic: here.
Mirror Lake Inn
A little over 5 hours north of NYC, in the scenic Adirondacks town of Lake Placid, you’ll find a peaceful, lakeside retreat called Mirror Lake Inn. The stately white property sits atop a hill, beckoning you to come inside and unwind. Family-owned since the 1930s, the warmth and friendliness of the staff is unmatched, and their spa is pretty spectacular too! The full review with more pic: here.
Roundhouse Beacon
Beacon is one of the most beloved towns in the Hudson Valley because of its artistic flare and old industrial charm. Also, it’s close! An hour north of the city or an easy Metro North ride up, it’s one of the most accessible towns in Upstate New York. With a killer location overlooking Beacon Falls, The Roundhouse is the place to stay in town. The hotel fuses a contemporary vibe with the same historical character that the town has so beautifully maintained. The full review with more pic: here.
THE DEWITT OAK HILL
The bright red door of the DeWitt Oak Hill beams brightly from the Upstate roadside. Upon entry, you’ll immediately be greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the proprietors, Diane and Dorothée. If you’re lucky, a handful of pups will smother you in smooches while the ladies fetch you freshly baked scones. With a passion for antiques, Diane and Dorothée have created an cozy retreat bursting with charm. The full review with more pic: here.
