Hotel Castle On The Hudson^{(4 stars)}

A magnificent turn-of-the-century castle with Norman towers and turrets overlooking the Hudson River, The Castle Hotel and Spa stands in 10 acres of wooded, manicured grounds and is renowned for its breathtaking views and award-winning restaurant. The Castle has the atmosphere of a stately-home, with vaulted, beamed ceilings, sculpted plasterwork, tapestries and crystal chandeliers dotted throughout the public rooms. The expansive luxury suites are positively regal with four-poster beds, turret alcoves and wood-burning fireplaces. Treat yourself to a morning at our onsite Thann Sanctuary Spa. Then, feeling fully pampered, go shopping at Westchester Mall or track down antiques and the historic sites in Tarrytown. Return for a dip in the pool (seasonal), with superb views across the Hudson Valley, before a gourmet dinner at Equus. Alternatively, dine in the historic Oak Room with wood panelling that was transported from a Parisian house, believed to have once been owned by Louis XIV. The Castle Hotel and Spa is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
