Chic hotels in the Hudson Valley are no longer an occasional novelty; the 40-room Inness is an example of a thoughtful approach, the work of Taavo Somer, an architect and restaurateur with experience in boutique hospitality. The farmhouse contains 12 soothing, minimalist-luxe rooms, which are joined by a further 28 cabins in a similar utilitarian-chic style. Dinner is served in a communal dining room, with a menu that adapts Mediterranean flavors to Hudson Valley produce. Diversions include swimming, tennis, a gym, fitness studio and spa, complete with a steam room, sauna and bathhouse, and even a nine-hole golf course by King-Collins, a design partnership with a devoted cult following.
