“A 1960s retro motor lodge, in the foothills of the Catskills in Hudson Valley. Chic and spacious rooms filled with natural light decorated with hardwood floors, retro tiled baths and vintage radios. Lounge by the pool, taste local brews and in the evening cosy up by the firepit. A quaint hideaway. ”

The World's Best New Hotels: Northeast USA

Starlite Motel Where: Kerhonkson, NY Why We're Excited: This retro '60s former roadside mainstay has been refurbished for a new century with an almost humorous giant eye-catching motel sign, all-pink exterior, and robin-blue doors. Located just two hours north of Manhattan in the small town of Kerhonkson, the inn has taken full advantage of their simple and private accommodations with 16 first-level rooms with patios, fire pits, grills, and a secluded hammock alley. Interiors are a mix-and-match of local artists' work and mid-century and Scandinavian furniture.
