Less than 50 miles from Manhattan, this elegant 18-room hilltop Italianate villa was built in 1911 as the country retreat of Robert Goelet in Chester. Sparkling public areas, including a pub and a library, surround a sunny cortile. All guest rooms, from cozy ground-floor nooks to grand suites, feature writing desks, reading chairs and marble baths with heated floors. Additionally, some have fireplaces and terraces. Superior Rooms and better are recommended, particularly those with views of the great lawn. The hotel’s restaurant, The Supper Room, serves sophisticated Hudson Valley cuisine. Diversions scattered throughout the property’s 150 acres include a full-service spa with a Carrara-marble bathhouse-hammam, a gym, two tennis courts, a croquet court, walking trails, an outdoor heated pool and a large whirlpool spa. The hotel does not permit guests under the age of 18.

Exquisite grounds; magnificent spa; superlative cuisine.
Very little, aside from the considerable expense.
The cozy Frogs End tavern is a perfect spot to read a book or indulge in a game of chess. Full bar service, light lunch fare and informal evening meals are served here by the light of the fireplace.
Lowest Rate: Deluxe Room, $960; Editor’s Choice: Junior Suite, $1,580.
Daily full breakfast served at The Supper Room or Cortile; Access to fitness center and sporting facilities; Wi-Fi
