Tarrytown House Estate

Two nineteenth-century mansions and 26 acres of gardens sit high above the Hudson at Tarrytown House Estate, a boutique hotel shaped by Gilded Age tobacco fortunes and still trading on that grandeur — river views, indoor and outdoor pools, lawn games, and rooms and suites across historic and modern buildings. Its restaurant, Goosefeather, is Chef Dale Talde’s bold Cantonese cooking, a Michelin Guide selection serving dinner nightly and weekend brunch. Sunnyside, Washington Irving’s riverside home, is half a mile down the hill — near enough to catch Irving’s Legend on Irving’s own lawn on October weekends and still make a late table.
