It’s tucked away on 68 acres of sprawling mountainside, where you can truly let it all go and bask in the beauty of nature.

A little bit of magic and mystery meld at this sensually atmospheric jewel box of an inn nestled in the heart of Hudson, New York. Its name nods to its artsy ambiance and slew of stylish creatives who frequent the place, as well as its eclectic array of vintage furnishings and decor inspired by the high-design eras of La Belle Époque, Art Deco, and Mid-Century Modern. What better locale to channel your inner bad-gal bohemian while you saunter into the leather-clad lounge and sip a whiskey on the rocks? By night you can play footsie in a candlelit corner, and by day you can feel free to peruse your room’s library or sample a spritz of the hotel’s signature fragrance collection, which sets the mood in more ways than one.

A true gem of the Jazz Age, the home-turned-hotel played host to a rotation of raucous fetes throughout the Roaring Twenties, so where better to get your Gatsby on while indulging in some plush pampering and refined festivities of your own? Get lost among the greenery of the meticulously manicured gardens, call in a private massage for two in the comfort of your boudoir, and then get dressed in your glitziest best for a cheeky nightcap of bubbly beneath a canopy of crystal chandeliers.

The Hamptons may be swingin’ in the summer, but we’ll let you in on a little secret: Don’t sleep on it during the off season.

Setting the scene with warm, nautical interiors and a hefty dose of modern luxury, the all-in-one hotel and spa supplies everything you need for a romantic retreat by the ocean. Pack your bikini and get ready to disrobe for a day spent floating in the saltwater bath house with your boo, and perhaps spring for a facial before stepping out for an Italian-inspired dinner for two. And when the sun goes down, you’ll no doubt want to cozy up under the stars by one of the flickering outdoor fire pits, taking in the relaxing sounds of the waves hitting the sand.
