Main Street is the trendy artery that buzzes with Beacon’s hot galleries and fabulous restaurants. Just off it, The Dutchess focuses on classic comforts, with its chandelier-hung rooms, sink-in beds and antique-feel touches. That’s not to say it’s staid; au contraire, there’s even a spa that lays on yoga sessions, deep-tissue massage and reflexology. Grab yourself a brew – there’s 24-hour free tea and coffee in the lobby – and make for the roof, to stargaze under the Hudson Valley skies until late, hands cupped around your steaming mug.

In the midst of Hudson Highlands State Park, Beacon Hermitage is a five-minute walk from a fresh-stream waterfall – a picture-perfect place to have a refreshing summer dip.

But take some time to linger around this remarkable property, enjoying the art-cluttered walls of the historic environs, and wandering the garden.
