"This Friday, Inness, a 40-room hotel and members club opens in Accord, New York. The name is a nod to George Inness, the American landscape painter, an à propos choice as the pastoral 225-acre property includes sprawling views of both farmland and the Catskill Mountains. The grounds of Inness were imagined by famed landscape artist Miranda Brooks and include 28 cabins, a 12-room Dutch Colonial farmhouse, a restaurant, two swimming pools, a 9-hole golf course, and a three-acre organic garden, among other attractions. A wellness center with a spa and gym will open later this year. It’s meant to be a refuge, a retreat of the transcendentalist variety." - Elise Taylor
