Glenmere Mansion - Chester New York

I can’t believe that this place was hidden right under my nose. I spent the first 18 years of my life within 15 minutes of what hotel critiquing website Gayot.com has named to be within the top 10 boutique hotels in the world. Located in the heart of the Hudson Valley in Chester New York is the newly renovated Glenmere Mansion.

Glenmere Mansion is located only 50 miles away from New York City. While it used to be a stop of the aristocracy of years ago the newly renovated estate has its guests swearing they were in the Italian country side. Regardless of the fact that there are only 18 guest accommodations (suites and private rooms) Glenmere Mansion is set on 150 acres. On these 150 acres are golf courses, luxury spas, croquet courts, and a large outdoor heated pool.






After you take your private elevator up to the penthouse, which is perched on top of the estate featuring views of the Hudson, a living room, your own private terrace and three fire places. One of these fire places is in the master bathroom. The service in this suite is so great that a private chef can be arranged for your stay.
Luxury this great goes at a rate of the smallest rooms at $550 a night. The penthouse sweet mentioned above goes for the pretty penny of $3,500 for your first night stay. Additionally the Glenmere mansion is available for rental for the entire estate. Depending on the season this goes for $25,000 - $45,000 a night depending on season and availability.




Luckily the two restaurants on the grounds are open to the public. However even if you want a hamburger ($16,) make sure you have reservations or you will be turned away at the door. For more information about Glenmere Mansion visit www.GlenmereMansion.com
