This grande old dame of a hotel – built in 1874 – is a one-minute walk from the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) and 19mi (30km) from Manhattan. The accommodation lives up to the magnificent edifice, with muted tones and luxury touches – including a connectivity station for all your entertainment needs and tasteful Italian furnishings. Downstairs, you’ll find an inviting indoor pool, a spa and sauna, a gym, an upscale steakhouse and a patio bar set amongst lush greenery.
