The Best New Hotels in the Catskills & Hudson Valley, NY - AFAR

"Set just over the border in Pennsylvania near the Delaware River and the town of Narrowsburg, this 27-room restoration of a 1960s building from a respected boutique-hotel group channels midcentury modern design and family-friendly layouts (including connecting bunk beds). The grounds offer hammock groves, lawn games, firepits and a private trail system. Interior highlights include a custom-built bar, a freestanding Malm fireplace and a grab-and-go dining program featuring bottled and canned cocktails, tinned fish selections (yellowfin ventresca, sardinillas, boquerones), charcuterie and cheese plates, and specialty snacks like Van Smokey beef jerky." - Devorah Lev-Tov

Lucky us. Most restaurants in the area start closing on Tuesday and Wednesday as the summer fades. But the bar and restaurant in the Darby hotel is open. It's all about craft cocktails and gastro pub fare. The menu is limited but it's all we needed. Great burgers and loaded fries. We found a new fav place.

We stayed two nights at The Darby and will definitely be going back. Overall: This mid-century modern hotel is exceptionally decorated, comfortable, and the staff has incredible hospitality. It is a short five minute walk to Narrowsburg restaurants and shops. Rooms: The rooms are comfortable, great heating system, and wonderful shower and water pressure. Very comfortable beds and linens. The artwork in our room was great- plus there was a telescope in our room!! Lobby Experience: If I can give 10 stars, I would! The lobby staff is warm and inviting, helped us with our bags, offered coffee and danishes in the morning, pool table, intimate pockets to enjoy a game of chess while soaking up a beautifully decorated experience. Bar: Hands down best cocktails I've had and very reasonably priced. This is a true cocktail bar. Warm lighting, comfortable tables, artwork, plants, a fireplace, and great playlist. The menu has a great offering and the bar staff very attentive. This is a fantastic place to unwind by the fire and enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail. There were a few locals that were at the bar that were so friendly, giving us great town recommendations. 10/10 experience. Staff: The staff was exceptional, very genuine and authentic. The level of hospitality they offered was something I rarely come across while traveling. Had an incredible stay and will definitely be back.

The Darby is everything we could have wanted in a hotel. It is the perfect blend of stylish mid-century design and top-notch comfort. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were transported by its chic vintage decor -- think velvet jewel tones, vintage lighting fixtures, and sleek lines that all come together beautifully. From the lobby and the gorgeous common spaces to the individual rooms, every area is thoughtfully designed with guest comfort in mind -- and our bed was a dream! What truly made my stay exceptional, however, was the attentive staff. They were always available to offer local tips, ensure everything was running smoothly, and make sure we felt special. Their passion for the hotel and its guests was evident, and it made our stay all the more memorable. We can't wait to return and enjoy another stay at this delightful retreat!

Wtf ... so you go after a couple for something so stupid! We were in bed by 7 and heard all sorts of noise and slamming and ugggghhhhhthe stairs (ummmm that's your job to cater to your patrons!!!!I've stayed at many hotels and NEVER been so disrespected. Don't hire dumbasses and get an fn elevator‍

This is a quaint little nursing home turned hotel. However not worth the price when you can't sleep at night, the entire point of a hotel. I stayed for one night with my mother for her birthday, we went to a concert and got home around midnight, there was a raging party going on outside and also in the bar, which was right next to our room. Because of this there wasn't enough parking left for guests, and since this is a renovated nursing home, they clearly didn't install any upgraded sound proofing to allow guests to sleep in this event. The party in the bar went on till about 2pm (it is advertised as closing at 11pm), then we heard the clanging of dishes for a while after that. There was no manager or staff on site, I tried the text message only phone number but not no response that night or the following day. When we checked out I asked the very nice girl at reception to have the manager call me before charging my card. No one ever called me and I was charged immediately. It's a cute idea for a hotel but not functional and not run with guests in mind. It's also just not worth the price, sadly even if we could have slept.

we've stayed at the Darby twice. it's a very cute little motel with a very appealing decor. There are plenty of communal areas to hang out in. Leon who works there is so friendly and helpful. Both times we stayed in a King Suite which was quite large for our family. Every thing was clean. We will be back!

So this "hotel" is a no for me. It's an old nursing home that's been converted into a "hotel". Going in I knew there weren't any TV's in the room, no biggie, I can deal with that. They do include binoculars to play bird bingo if that's your thang. What I didn't know was that there's zero privacy in the rooms, you can hear everything and I mean everything, including someone coughing in the room across the hall. In our room, the shower was in the living space. If I'm laying on the bed and look to the right you see the shower curtain. It's separate from the actual bathroom. What I can say was the bed was super comfortable and thank god for that. There was a huge stain on the carpet in our room and the room smelled like feet. Our room was also very close to the common areas and if there's people hanging out there you can hear everything. We woke up on our second day to NO WATER. None, zilch, nada. We heard loud whishing and churning to where my husband ran in the bathroom thinking something was about to explode. So the entire hotel couldn't shower, use the toilet etc... The front desk employee which I've since found out is the GM and was super nice really did try his very best all weekend to give us a good experience but sadly this just wasn't my type of hotel and for what you pay you're not getting much.

We've stayed at a bunch of the other Foster Supply properties and this one's consistent with what we've come to expect. Vintage vibe, a building with an interesting history (but not haunted...); a good arrangement of common areas, bar & fireplace and more (we had them to ourselves which was fine). We reserved one of the nice big upstairs rooms, with a super comfy bed, large bathroom with a great shower/bath. So glad there are no TVs. A good location for us as we hadn't been to Narrowsburg in about 10 years. The hotel's namesake manager was very helpful, personable and arranged for us to have a fire to come back to after the dinner reservation she made for us. Would come back anytime.

I'd love to leave them a proper review, but from the onset, no one picks up the phone at the hotel. We've been trying since last Thursday. They have a 5-day (in advance) cancellation policy which is equal to 50% of the stay, and my job requires me to be on-call sometimes, so at $300/night for 4 nights, that's a risk--so I wanted to know if I could call to book 24 hours ahead of time, but alas, no one is on the other end to pick up the phone. Generally, I stay clear of pricey hotels that don't pick up the phone because if you need anything, you have no choice but to email.

Expensive especially for what you get. Try the many lovely inexpensive airbnb's in the area

This is a new hotel from the owners of the North Branch Inn, the Arnold House and the DeBruce. Built in the 60s, I'm guessing, and formerly a community home, the Darby still retains a bit of a musty air and isn't a beauty from the front. However, the rooms are comfy, colorful, and have nearly everything you need. The beds are great. There's a pool table, a fire pit with s'mores, and games and hiking trails. And the hotel is a one-minute drive from pretty little Narrowsburg, NY, with its hipster shops, gallery, and restaurants. Not to mention a five-minute drive from Two Queens, a fabulous coffee shop. Which is good because the hotel doesn't really do breakfast (just wrapped muffins and percolator coffee) and doesn't have a real bar (some wine and beer on request). Very nice staff, btw.

We booked this place months in advance, and when arriving, were disappointed by the room situation. We did not realize that the standard room did not include a "full bathroom" meaning the showers are located outside of the bathroom and attached to the closet. For the price we were paying, we felt like this was unacceptable. After changing to a suite (which is what was advertised to us as the room we would be staying in) we were really happy with the hotel. It was very clean and the common areas were great. Lots of activities on site, comfortable beds, and good vibes. Phil working at the front desk was very helpful and a great asset to the hotel, however it seemed like there were not other staff present and at times it was hard to get assistance. Understaffed, but the staff we did encounter were very nice. Overall, because of the price for a room at this hotel that would have an acceptable bathroom situation, I am not sure I would stay here again and would rather spend my $250/night elsewhere to enjoy a shower in a bathroom.
