"Piaule Catskill is a 24-room boutique hotel located just two and a half hours north of New York, overlooking the mountains. It was founded by Nolan McHugh and Trevor Briggs, who previously owned a towel company. The hotel features modern, Japanese and Scandinavian-inspired interior design, with local Bluestone and untreated wood as chief materials. The main building includes a lobby, restaurant, and spa, with walls of windows and a terrace overlooking the mountains. The restaurant offers dinner service Thursday through Sunday, brunch on weekends, and a la carte lunch. The hotel offers a pool, sauna, yoga studios, and various treatments. The cabins are modular rooms with glass walls overlooking the forest, providing a unique glamping experience. The hotel emphasizes a natural experience, with Hudson just 30 minutes away by car." - Sarah Spellings
