Roundhouse

Top choice in Hudson Valley


Occupying a former blacksmiths and hat factory spread out over both sides of the town's Fishkill Creek, Roundhouse is a model of Beacon's renaissance as a tourist destination. Elements of the buildings' industrial past blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts in the spacious rooms, which feature designer lighting, timber headboards and alpaca-wool blankets.

Two Michelin star–awarded chef Terrance Brennan heads up the hotel's excellent restaurant and lounge grounded by a philosophy of sustainable 'whole-farm cuisine': do not miss the amazing ramen served in the lounge.
