"Troutbeck opened with 17 rooms in its Manor House in 2017, but the historic Hudson Valley estate has operated as an inn and tavern since 1765. It added 13 new rooms with this year’s opening of Benton House, set just on the other side of the Webatuck River from the Manor House and accessed by a short walk over a stone bridge. Benton House features similar Shaker via midcentury decor by Champalimaud Design, the New York firm that also designed the hotel’s other interior spaces. In the new Benton House rooms, guests can expect grass cloth wallpaper and subtle plaid and striped patterns throughout. Connecticut-based furniture maker Ian Ingersoll designed the king-size four-poster beds in each room in either a bold saffron yellow or rich navy blue. Though the decor of Benton House is similar to the rest of the estate, direct access to nature sets it apart: Private screened porches or balconies come with each of the rooms." - Lyndsey Matthews
