“I think 2017 will be a banner year for U.S. B&Bs and guesthouses, rebooting the classic American inn experience.” O boy, do we love to read these kind of predictions! This is coming from Ben Pundole writing for A Hotel Life. Hoteliers writing about small lodging properties, very interesting.
The article’s focus was on a New York Catskills property described as “relaxed, rustic, off the grid elegance“. The experience described,“beautiful walks, seasonal food and a cheese and wine hour by an open fire-unpretentious, but heavenly.”
Recently properties like the one described here are being called ‘lifestyle-design’ hotels. Note that they are using ’hotel’ to describe anything from 6 to 30+ guest room properties. B&Bs in this category, you bet.
New York State has fantastic regions that offer the rustic and unpretentious elegant experience travelers are seeking today. Catskill Mountains, Adirondacks, Hudson Valley and the Finger Lakes are names well known to tourists. These regions became the summer heat-escape destinations for early city dwellers. Now, any time of year is a good time to escape!
