Bedford Post Inn

The Best Hotels in the Hudson Valley, New York | Condé Nast Traveler

"Dating back to the 18th century, this eight-room inn carries Revolutionary War pedigree as a shelter for American soldiers before welcoming travelers and postal workers, and since Richard Gere bought it in 2007 it has drawn famous locals like Martha Stewart. Timeless touches include private terraces where you can watch smoke curl from the chimney and freestanding soaking tubs stocked with Sangre de Fruta toiletries. Stays come with unlimited complimentary yoga in the light-filled Loft and breakfast from The Barn's a la carte menu, while a reservation at The Tavern delivers a pitch-perfect burger-and-martini combo and the best turndown I've ever had: a plate of warm chocolate-chip cookies waiting in bed." - Jessica Chapel, Jessica Sulima
