Emerson
Inn & Spa
Indulge in Colonial splendor in the Catskills
From the April 22, 2002 Issue of New York
 All
24 rooms at the Emerson Inn & Spa, the Catskills' first high-end,
ultraluxurious hideaway, are so thoughtfully decorated -- in Persian,
Victorian, West Indies Colonial, and Asian themes -- that you'll find
yourself jotting down ideas for your own home. There's a 5,000-bottle
wine room with a floor-to-ceiling humidor, a swanky Africa-themed
bar, and a gym so beautiful you'll actually want to work out. Spa
treatments are the house specialty (but be sure to book ahead), as
is the gourmet food, served on Limoges china. True sybarites will
appreciate details like a glass of champagne in Waterford crystal
at check-in, personalized stationery, and Frette labels on the linens,
robes, towels -- even the bath mats. If you want to explore the area,
Woodstock is just ten minutes away, but we're not sure why you'd ever
want to leave.
