From its rolling hills lined with roadside farms and orchards to its waterfront villages that kiss the border of the river, Hudson Valley is truly an idyllic destination. It sits just over two hours away from New York City (via car, Amtrak, or Metro North). Here, you’ll find quaint old towns filled with pops of colorful buildings—reimagined into cool new art galleries and cozy cafés. Take a break in one of the old-school diners, or grab a drink in a top-notch craft cocktail bar. Picturesque in every season, the region has emerged into a beloved getaway for NYC locals seeking space to run and play (and return to, again and again).
Its vastness is part of the region’s allure—the Valley spans across 10 counties—all lining the Hudson River. From nature trails and swimming holes to boutique shopping and art hopping—there’s much to do and discover. And while it may be steeped in history with its many 18th-century properties and estates, it’s also ever-evolving—offering a hub of new openings every year, from restaurants to hotels. After a long day of sightseeing, there are so many charming bed-and-breakfasts to choose from, that it can be difficult to pick. Luckily, we’ve done the legwork to find some of the best hotels in the area perfect for your next trip. Whether you’re an urbanite seeking refuge, or just looking for a little change in scenery, these are the best hotels in the Hudson Valley.
