8 Stylish Summer Weekend Getaways From NYC

The Hudson region is known for its plethora of art galleries, quaint antique stores (ask this writer about her Murano glass lamp!), and farm-to-table restaurants. A must-visit town? Kingston, which is home to the boutique Hotel Kinsley. Spread out over four historic buildings—including a 19th century bank—it flawlessly encompasses both old world and new thanks to its contemporary interiors by Studio Robert McKinley.

For a bit more space, head out to Inness in nearby Accord. The high design hotel, helmed by Taavo Somer, sits upon 225 acres and features a spa, golf course, pool, and restaurant. An added bonus? The grounds were designed by famed landscape artist Miranda Brooks, making it truly an idyllic retreat.

Some other notable hotels? The Maker, a glamorous property by the co-founders of Fresh beauty, and Little Cat Lodge, which will embrace an alpine aesthetic when it opens this summer.

The Glamping Getaway: Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Cape Cod’s AutoCamp is the place to go for a camping experience without all the gear. Its Airstream suites and luxury tents come with a mini fridge and cookware so you can prepare your own meals al fresco. After you make the drive from New York City, stock up on charcoal, BBQ kits, and breakfast burritos from the on-site general store. You’ll need fuel for the local activities, which include kayaking along the coast, hiking through the old-growth forest of Lowell Holly Reservation, and complimentary yoga. (Or, if you feel like laying low, take a long shower with the suite’s Ursa Major products, then cozy up by your private fire pit.) For off-site dining, drive the ten minutes to The Buffalo Jump, a community cafe that serves an eclectic take-out menu at Coonamessett Farm (say hi to the alpacas on your way).
