What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Kenoza Hall is a beauty: an 1880 Victorian boarding house set on 55 acres of lakefront land, lately transformed into a 22-room boutique hotel
“Guest accommodations have original hardwood floors, Sferra linens, and custom furniture in soft grays and pinks; some even have deep soaking tubs and private balconies or porches.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Delaware River towns of Callicoon and Narrowsburg are a short drive away through rolling Catskills hills.
The rooms
Inn rooms have sleigh beds and deep soaking tubs. Standalone bungalows add gas stoves and private porch swings.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool is lined with striped umbrellas and retro loungers overlooking the estate grounds.
The spa
Hemlock Spa draws on Kneipp hydrotherapy traditions, with an outdoor barrel sauna and a greenhouse relaxation room.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The dining room serves Continental dishes made with Catskills produce, and cocktails are shaken at the wooden bar.
Kenoza is the crown jewel in a network of hotels operated by Foster Supply Hospitality that shine a light on the wooly wonders of Sullivan County
How it began
The main mansion opened in the 1880s as Armbrust House, welcoming summer weekenders from New York City.
“Kenoza Hall might not have invented the concept of 'earthy luxury,' but the charming lakeside hotel certainly mastered it.”
