Tucked away in the scenic heart of the Hudson Valley, a highly anticipated boutique stay is officially welcoming guests for your ultimate summer getaway.
Set right along the historic Wallkill River, New Paltz Way just opened its doors on July 1st, offering the perfect blend of contemporary design and relaxed upstate charm.
Located a breezy 90 minutes from New York City, this brand new 28-room property places you steps away from a vibrant downtown while keeping you completely immersed in the region’s breathtaking natural beauty.
Here is why this gorgeous nature-inspired retreat needs to be at the top of your summer travel radar right now.
A masterclass in grounded comfort
Designed around the concept of a slower upstate pace, every inch of the hotel encourages you to completely unwind.
The beautifully curated guest rooms embrace a laid-back aesthetic with natural textures and softened lighting.
You can look forward to elevated touches that make it incredibly hard to leave your room, from radiant heated bathroom floors to private outdoor balconies overlooking the water.
Music lovers will absolutely adore the in-room record players.
The hotel features a shared vinyl library in the lobby, allowing you to curate the exact soundtrack for your weekend.
You can also head down to the central parlour, which anchors the property with a custom-built fireplace and an all-day complimentary coffee bar serving everything from rich espresso drinks to matcha lattes.
An elite self-led wellness oasis
When your goal is pure relaxation, the on-site amenities are completely ready to deliver.
The property boasts a luxurious self-led spa meticulously designed to melt away city stress. Guests can seamlessly transition between an impressive lineup of restorative features:
- A soothing steam room
- A traditional sauna
- A therapeutic salt room
- A refreshing mineral pool
- A fully equipped fitness center
Walkable charm and outdoor adventure
While the property itself is an absolute oasis, the location is what truly sets it apart.
The hotel sits incredibly close to the highly popular Water Street Market, giving you immediate walking access to a picturesque collection of local boutiques, highly-rated restaurants, and cozy bars.
When you want to enjoy a quiet night in, Grazery New Paltz even delivers curated cheese boards and rare local ciders right to the guests.
And for those craving outdoor exploration, you are positioned perfectly.
You have direct access to the gorgeous Wallkill Valley Rail Trail right outside your door.
You are also just moments away from some of the absolute best hiking and rock climbing terrain in the entire state, including the breathtaking trails at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park.
How to get there from NYC
You do not even need a car to get your upstate fix!
For the most direct route, you can hop on a Trailways bus right from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. The ride takes just about 90 minutes and drops you off right in the village of New Paltz.
If you prefer a scenic train ride, you can take the Metro-North Railroad’s Hudson Line (or Amtrak) up to Poughkeepsie. From there, it is just a quick 20-minute taxi or local shuttle ride across the river straight into town. For those driving, it is an incredibly easy straight shot up the New York State Thruway (I-87 North).
It’s kind of the best of ALL worlds in our humble opinion, and is about to become one of the Hudson Valley’s most coveted spots.
So keep this place bookmarked for your end of summer itineraries because bookings will surely fly.
