Bohemian-meets-Belle Epoque is the best way to describe the interior design of The Maker, a boutique hotel where over 70 percent of the decor is vintage. Their four historic buildings—including an 1800s carriage house—are adorned with Moroccan rugs, stained glass, jewel-toned furniture, and wallpaper designed by the property’s co-founder. Even the beds, one of the few new pieces, are crafted in the French Louis XV style. In terms of dining experiences, an all-day coffeehouse is inspired by the cafés of Europe and the main restaurant is housed in a glass conservatory.

“The landscape is dominant,” Taavo Somer said of his high-design, 225-acre retreat that’s one of the best hotels in Hudson Valley. (In case you doubted its cult appeal: Recently, Inness and interior designers The Post Company released a furniture collection together with Sixpenny of the hotel’s coveted minimalist furniture.) Dotting the pastoral grounds are 28 cabins, a 12-room Dutch Colonial farmhouse, a restaurant, two swimming pools, a nine-hole golf course, and a three-acre organic garden, as well as a wild garden designed by famed landscape architect Miranda Brooks. There’s no shortage of outdoor activities.
Last spring, Inness finally opened its highly-anticipated, 7,000-square-foot spa. Vogue contributor Megan Angelo described it as “getting a massage at a place where Taylor Swift will someday write a nature-inspired album,” when she visited. “Every finish is studiously deliberate—where else can you find treatment rooms that nod to the art of James Turrell?”
