"As soon as you pull into the driveway at Troutbeck in Armenia, New York, the stress of the city quickly vanishes. Since the 1770s, the property has served as a country estate, a tavern, and an arts club attracting all sorts of intellectuals and writers from David Thoreau to Mark Twain. Today, this stylish country inn features 17 elegant rooms with canopied beds (outfitted in Frette linens), Tivoli radios, and MALIN+GOETZ bathroom products. There are various cozy sitting areas and reading rooms filled with games and art books where guests can spend hours perusing with a coffee or cocktail in hand. For more active types, the 250-acre property features a swimming pool, tennis courts, a modern barn with wellness classes, and an elegant walled garden." - The MICHELIN Guide
