Troutbeck

"When hotelier Anthony Champalimaud and his wife Charlie bought this historic English–style country estate, whose storied guest ledger includes bold-faced names such as Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau, and Teddy Roosevelt, they vowed to create a bucolic getaway for modern times. So they turned to Anthony’s mom, prolific designer Alexandra Champalimaud, to give the early-1900’s stone homestead a tip-to-toe makeover. The result is an idiosyncratic mix of rooms outfitted with four-poster beds, wood-burning fireplaces, and wicker furniture, spread across the Manor House and cottages dotting the sprawling grounds of creeks and Sycamore trees. The ground-floor restaurant is a hot reservation even among non-guests thanks to new chef Gabe McMackin’s greenmarket recipes made with the Hudson Valley’s freshest ingredients. His devotion to seasonality will come as no surprise to fans of his Michelin–starred Brooklyn spot, The Finch, and his menu at Troutbeck has many of the same notes thanks to its farm-proximate setting in Dutchess County."
