Glenmere Mansion Exudes Old-World European Glamour In the Lower Hudson Valley - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"Evoking a Tuscan villa an hour north of New York City, this Relais & Châteaux boutique hotel sits on 150 acres of formal, Beatrix Farrand–designed gardens and has become a premier Hudson Valley wedding venue. The 18 individually styled guest rooms and suites mix antiques and fine art (installed by Scott Snyder) with creature comforts like expansive terraces, fireplaces, separate seating areas, sumptuous beds, and marble en suite bathrooms featuring heated floors, claw-foot tubs, and Acqua di Parma amenities. Wellness is a major focus: an 8,000‑square‑foot spa centered on global water therapies includes a Carrara marble bathhouse, authentic Turkish hammam, herbal steam room, dry heat sauna, Swiss shower, cool mist room, and central aqua massage vitality pool, plus a top-rated Moroccan Purification Ritual that combines a full-body exfoliation on a heated marble belly stone, a detoxifying clay wrap, warm water cleanse, head‑to‑toe Argan oil application, and post‑treatment relaxation with tapas and organic tea. Dining is overseen by Executive Chef Gunnar Thompson across two distinct outlets—an intimate tavern serving bar fare like a cheesy French onion crock and a secret-list fireside burger, and a formal Supper Room offering a farm‑to‑table menu of locally sourced fish and game (with desserts sweetened by on‑site honey)—while a central courtyard provides romantic al fresco dining. The property also boasts an extensive wine cellar showcased in a Wine Dinner Series, an outdoor pool, pavilion, whirlpool spa, fitness center, har‑tru tennis and bocce courts, a championship croquet lawn, a luxury house car, and on‑site heritage chickens that supply eggs for breakfast. Nearby attractions include the Storm King Art Center (about 25 minutes away), Brotherhood Winery, Dia: Beacon, West Point, Woodbury Common outlets, and local farms for seasonal activities; nightly rates generally range from about $750 to $2,675."
