Habitas on Hudson

From the moment I arrived, the warm and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The check-in process was seamless, and my beautifully designed room exceeded my expectations. The highlight of my stay was the stunning panoramic views of the Hudson River. Waking up to the sight of the sun rising over the water was truly amazing. (Also, the bed was incredibly comfortable, definitely a 10/10 ! ) The amenities provided were exceptional, and the on-site restaurant offered many options which my partner and I loved! I highly recommend this hotel, we hope we can come back soon!

We did a long weekend for my wife's birthday and had an amazing time. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly. We enjoyed a tarot card reading and yoga, but unfortunately missed the sound bath. My favorite activity was the cocktail class. To be honest, my expectations weren't particularly high. I assumed that we'd sit at the bar and watch someone make a drink. However, the head of food and beverage had a full set-up so we could make our own drinks. Her knowledge and passion were compelling. She walked us through all of the ingredients, the equipment and the history. My wife and I took one of our all time favorite photos with an amazing sunset as the backdrop. We stayed in a suite at the back of the property (#17)--a beautiful spacious room with a great tub. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet. The main house was only a quick three-minute walk away.

Sadly, I was very disappointed. I think it is overpriced for what you get. Our room was tiny. We couldn't control the thermostat, the shower had zero pressure, the toilet overflowed. The grounds were run down and did not match the photos on line. The staff was great. And, the actual bed was clean and comfortable. But, I think for $500+ a night we should have had more. With some care I have confidence it might be a great place someday. Newly opened last year.

Although the main house is nice, we were completely unhappy with the actual room...considering the price of $650/night. The room was small, no drawer space, no closet, no tv. The toilet was in a separate space like a mini closet. The bathroom was ok, but the shower had no "edge" and water ran out through the room. The curtain over the window was broken. Breakfast was minimal, but pricey for what was served. Staff was "sour" and acted like they didn't want to be there...including restaurant staff. Completely overrated and was one of the worst hotel experiences ever. We were charged for a meal that occurred AFTER we had left and are now disputing the charge with credit card company. Horrendous place!

I'm still pinching myself after our stay at Habitas on Hudson. The staff was incredible and hospitabal. The location and ambiance were beyond our expectations. The food and drink were spectacular. After a reservation mixup, the staff was helpful in getting things sorted out. The moment we arrived to see the hotel, we immediately added a night to our stay. A craft cocktail bar centers the main floor, where you can take a class and make your own concoction. The rest if the main floor features well appointed but comfortable rooms for lounging and playing games, along with an upstairs couch with a view of the Hudson. Dinner was simply divine, and just steps from our lovely room. Breakfast was marvelous. Outside, guests were invited to roast marshmallows or stroll through the grounds. An easy drive from the local historical attractions, yet remote enough to feel like a country get away. Probably our favorite hotel. Period. Can't wait to go back.

This hotel is the cutest. At welcome they offer bracelets with a smile and escort you to your room on property. The rooms are well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is not to be missed, and the cocktails at the bar were delicious. I would definitely stay here again!

This is 4 stars (not 5) only because it is compared to the best-of-the-best. There are some small tweaks that need to happen, but overall, it is a lovely dining experience. The food is generally excellent. The chef there is clearly a gifted pro with soul that comes through in each bite. The service and ambiance are perfect. If this were a review of the burger, it would be 6 stars. It is the best burger in a 30-mile radius. We have eaten there many times and will be back some more. I highly recommend it for breakfast and lunch. It is also a great venue for drinks - with a 'Hudson Valley speak-easy chic' vibe. Definitely give this place a try!

The most wonderful, gorgeous stay at this hotel. Customer service is superb and so grateful to Simon for showing us around and being so gracious and welcoming. The property is beautiful, lots of art and unique things, amazing food at Social restaurant on site, delicious breakfasts and comfortable accommodating room. Every detail is so well thought to provide a great experience and share the beautiful area. Thank you so much for making this hotel feel like home and great customer service and attention to details. Pure class and authenticity. Grateful.

Perfectly located with distant views of the Hudson River. The breakfast included with the stay is delicious and more than sufficient to provide fuel for the great hiking in the area. Fun cocktail classes offered in the bar. End the evening at the fire pit with a s'mores kit provided by the inn.

The photos are much nicer and better than reality. We went for a meal at Social but we were highly disappointed in the overall condition of the place. Not nearly as cute and nice as photos would lead one to believe. The food was ok but we saw the chef come out of the kitchen and he wore dirty clothes ... made us wonder about the cleanliness of the place. We will never go back or ever consider spending a night there.

Don't stay here. This place does not live up to their commitments. Several of us made reservations to stay for 3 nights to attend a family wedding. This hotel cancelled on us a few weeks before the wedding and said they had a "private event that overlapped with our stay" and apologized for the "inconvenience". There were no other hotels available in the area. Much more than an inconvenience. They didn't offer to help us find something else and the manager would not get on the phone to talk. All they said was "sorry". Actions speak louder than words. Disgraceful!

After confirming 2 rooms we received an email shortly before our arrival: "We are informing you that we will be hosting a large private event at Habitas on Hudson and it overlaps with your booking. Because of this, we will not be able to accommodate you during your Original dates" As a consolation they offered us "free cancellation" (even though they cancelled and it was still within the cancellation window). Really?! We immediately contacted Simon at the front desk and explained that since mid-September is peak season In Rhinebeck there are no reasonable alternative accommodations available at this late date. The General Manager refused to even take our call. Clearly the hotel received a better deal and decided that we were expendable. Meanwhile, we are now scrambling for accommodations. The Manager is disgrace and completely unfit to run a hotel. If a hotel experience is a reflection of management, best to avoid and look at better places eg Mirbeau, The Gables, etc...
