"A renovated 1960s roadside mainstay reimagined with a whimsical, Wes Anderson–inspired palette—turquoise doors retained, exterior painted pink—and rooms that blend Shaker, Scandinavian, and midcentury design with works by local artists. The 16 rooms sit alongside a saltwater pool and deck perfect for post-hike relaxation, and an in-room Canteen in select units provides quick breakfasts, local beverages, and snacks for guests on the go." - Sophie Friedman
"Among the Catskills’ many revived mid-century lodgings, this beautifully restored spot is as unashamedly retro as they come." - Mark Fedeli
"The Catskills' Starlite Motel, enjoying a second life with its unashamedly retro restoration." - Mark Fedeli
"Built in 1958, the property, on the Catskills' Route 209, is another textbook motor lodge, with exterior room access, a pool, and an outdoor lounge area." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Located in the peaceful Catskills, about a two-hour drive from NYC, Starlite Motel is a quirky little retreat in an area packed with wineries, hiking trails, nature preserves, stone-cliff waterfalls, and rolling farmland. The motor lodge's 1960s vintage is apparent from the basic layout, breeze-block walls, and gloriously retro neon side beaming over Route 209, but the new owners have lovingly restored the property with impeccably stylish interiors and boutique-like details." - Travel + Leisure Editors
