Everyone could use a little magic and relaxation in their lives right now. New York is full of spectacular castles that give you that get-away feel without going too far.

Castle Hotel & Spa

Only half an hour from Manhattan, Castle Hotel & Spa is located on one of the highest points in the region, with remarkable views of the historic Hudson River. Renovated and reimagined in 2013 by Evan Metropoulos and his family, the award-winning estate is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Historic Hotels of America. The grounds, including the ten acres of serene tranquil woods, offer the perfect combination of respite, style, and indulgence.

Boldt Castle

Located on Heart Island, this 120-room Rhineland-style castle was built at the turn-of-the 20th century. It is only accessible by tour boat, water taxi, or private water vehicle.

Lyndhurst 

In the Hudson Valley, this Gothic revival mansion is a National Historic Site sprawling across 67 acres of the Hudson River. The estate includes numerous lush gardens, a greenhouse, and a carriage house. When planning your next self-care pampering moment, or fanciful event, consider any of these locations.

They all offer the enchantment and splendor of medieval times, just a drive away.
