Hudson Valley
This rustic-chic former boarding house, steps from the train station and a short walk to Warren St, offers rough-hewn furniture and claw-foot tubs in its 15 rooms, spread across three adjacent buildings. Some feature fireplaces, and luxury amenities, such as plush bathrobes and slippers, complete the cozy aesthetics. Rates don't include breakfast.
The pleasant bar and kitchen serves modern American cuisine and is generally only open in the evenings from 5pm (mains $28 to $34).
