Located in the historic Hudson Valley, it is conveniently located only 90 miles from New York City and can be reached via almost any transportation system including car, bus, train and air as Newburgh’s Stewart International Airport is only 25 miles out, Albany Airport 70 miles away, and New York City airports less than 100 miles from this exceptional mountain resort.
Mohonk Mountain House is a picturesque and visually stunning specialized resort situated on Lake Mohonk’s shore. It boasts of an old world typical charm with the Paltz Resort taking you all the way to Europe but without the long, uncomfortable, and expensive plane ride, especially if you have to do it with children. A huge Victorian castle right in New York can be considered a competitive edge for a resort, but to have forty thousand virgin acres of wilderness is simply divine!
Mohonk is a proud member of Historic Hotels of America, with its main structure a National Historic Landmark as declared in 1986. The iconic resort boasts a wide collection of awards and recognitions from magazines, award-giving bodies, international, and environmental agencies.
