Below you’ll find some of our favorite hotels, resorts and unique stays around the Catskills. From the comforts of the Emerson Resort, to the renovated AirStream campers of Autocamp, or the western vibes of the Urban Cowboy Lodge – there’s something for everyone.
Mohonk Mountain House
A historic resort perched above the Shawangunk Mountains, Mohonk Mountain House (pictured above) is an iconic destination for relaxation and adventure. Offering a Victorian-style mansion, a world-class spa, and activities like hiking, boating, and ice skating, it’s an all-encompassing getaway with timeless charm. Though it is on the pricier end of the spectrum – if you’re looking to splurge and treat yourself – this is the place to do it.
The Emerson Resort
Nestled in the picturesque village of Mount Tremper, The Emerson Resort combines luxury with rustic charm. It offers spacious rooms, a renowned spa, and a variety of dining options, all set against the stunning backdrop of the central Catskill Mountains.
Piaule Resort
Piaule Resort is a modern, minimalist retreat in the Catskills that focuses on relaxation and nature immersion. With its chic cabins and breathtaking views, it offers a serene escape with an emphasis on quiet luxury and environmental sustainability. The cabins have that made-of-wood shipping container look to them, with one end offering floor to ceiling windows.
You’ll wake up feeling like you’re already in nature – and can follow it up with breakfast in the restaurant, a guided hike just minutes away, followed by an afternoon at the spa. And you can bring your furry friends along – because the Piaule resort is dog friendly. They’ll even make your pup their own dinner at the restaurant!
The Wylder
A chic, nature-inspired getaway, The Wylder sits along Batavia Kill in the town of Windham. With amenities galore – e-bikes, saunas, a heated pool, pickleball courts, fire pits and more, its design blends historic charm with modern comfort, making it perfect for both adventure seekers and those looking to unwind. The on-site restaurant, Babblers (closed Mondays and Tuesdays) offers a seasonal menu and handcrafted cocktails. The nearby Main Street of Windham features restaurants, a brewery, two late night bars, an ice cream and cookie shop, local shopping, and more. And, the best part is that trails on the Windham-Blackhead range are just a short drive away. Since there’s an Upstate Hiking Guide based in Windham as well, Upstate Hiking can occasionally offer Wylder hikers round trip pick up and drop off for parties of up to 4.
Eastwind Hotels
Eastwind is an intimate, boutique resort that features Scandinavian-inspired design with cozy cabins and a laid-back atmosphere. It’s ideal for those looking to unwind in style, with luxurious amenities, a pub, and easy access to outdoor activities. With two locations in Windham and Olivera Valley, it’s a great choice for couples and large groups.
Autocamp
Autocamp Catskills in Saugerties, New York offers a glamping experience with its luxurious renovated Airstream Trailers, safari tents, and cabins. Set in a hardwood forest in the foothills of The Catskills, this resort combines outdoor adventure with upscale amenities, providing guests with a relaxing blend of comfort and nature therapy. There’s a little general store/cafe and gathering space in the reception area, and you’re just a 15-20 minute drive up to the Great Northern Catskills and its world-class hiking trails. Check out either the Overlook Mountain Trail in Woodstock, various trails on the Devil’s Path, or the waterfalls of the scenic mountain cloves.
Urban Cowboy Lodge
Located in the heart of the Catskills, Urban Cowboy Lodge blends rustic charm with urban-style chic. This boutique lodge is perfect for guests looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure, with a welcoming atmosphere and stylish, cabin-inspired accommodations. You’re in the heart of The Catskills here, with nearby trails such as Giants Ledge, Slide Mountain (or the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide Combo), Mount Tremper, or Panther Mountain. And be sure to stop by the Phoenicia Diner after your hike – or at any point in your trip. This place is really good.
Scribners Lodge
Scribners Lodge offers a combination of chic, comfortable accommodations with scenic mountain views. Its modern design and cozy cabins provide the perfect place to relax after enjoying nearby outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. There’s a restaurant offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options curated by Chef Alejandro Reyes Herrera and a craft cocktail menu available after 3pm. We love that it’s just a 10 minute drive to trails such as Kaaterskill Falls, the Devils Path, and the North South Lake areas – perfect for a variety of half-day hiking adventures. The nearby town of Tannersville offers dining and shopping options, as well as the well stocked Camp Catskill Outfitters if you need to grab something last minute for your hiking adventure!
