The Eight Top Upstate New York Hotels to Escape to This Summer
Upstate New York hotels didn't used to be places travelers went in search of a luxury farm-chic experience.

They offered visitors a place for stylish stays at rates often exceeding $1,000 per night—proof that New Yorkers weren't just looking for a relaxed Hamptons alternative. These travelers wanted stylish stays with boutique bath products and serious food and beverage options, and they were willing to pay for it.
