Troutbeck

Troutbeck is a wonderful place for a relaxing and peaceful retreat from the pressures of everyday life. The property has a powerful and important role in creating equal rights in this country. There are different styles of rooms depending on your needs. We stayed for 3 nights in the Benton Cottage that has 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room. Staff were very welcoming and supportive. Food is delicious. The activities are comprehensive: swimming, massage services, tennis, horseback riding, walking trails, and lovely bar room. The only caution is that nightlife is quiet in the country : no clubs, no raves, no concerts, etc.

Great first day as a guest. Have made a spontaneous booking which was accomodated. Very smooth check in, nice spacious room in the garden house, very pleased with the gym and yoga area, great setting in the forest and feels exclusive. Had an interesting mediation class with Clea and an amazing dinner in the restaurant with desert next to the fireplace, thank you Alicia for serving so well. So far a great stay. Vlad

We had the most wonderful stay at Troutbeck! From the initial booking to our sendoff, Julio took exceptional care of us — he’s an absolute star! The property is stunning, the room was lovely and the food was fantastic. The staff members were so kind and welcoming — special thanks to Spencer, Jordan and Julio :) As a family with a toddler and newborn, we enjoyed the cozy indoor living room lounges, outdoor fire pits with s’mores and tennis courts. We cannot wait to go back, thank you for a fabulous stay!

We recently returned from another wonderful stay at Troutbeck - it gets better every time. The property itself is magnificent, with beautiful, well-maintained grounds, which our young son loved exploring. The indoor common areas are cosy, elegant and inviting. We stayed in the new Benton house suite: sleek and spacious and offered great privacy (we usually stay in a room in the charming main house). Special mention to Joy and Julio who are always so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Ryan was so kind to our son, and lit a fire pit for us to make smores. Troutbeck is such a great escape from Manhattan and we always feel recharged after a few days here. It offers five-star services but with a very personalized touch. We can't wait to return in the summer when the pool club area opens.

Just came back from Troutbeck and had an amazing stay. It was extremely relaxing- whether reading in the library by the fireplace, doing yoga or sitting at the bar for a drink. The grounds are beautiful to walk around. The restaurant staff was extremely accommodating in getting me vegan food that was not on the menu. I would definitely go back.

I had such a wonderful stay here - beautiful room, wonderful yoga class and massage, lovely breakfasts. I came to get some writing done and was able to be very focused and productive while feeling at ease and cared for. I hope to return soon for another stay.

The days of splendor have returned to Amenia New York with the re-opening of beloved Troutbeck, a mainstay in the region for decades. We were fortunate enough to score a reservation for dinner & dining over this past New Years Holiday, and it did not disappoint. There was a time ( I am dating myself here) when 20 +years ago my wife and I would pack up the car from the Upper E Side and head up to Amenia for New Years. Always somehow booking their very last room they had available. I, being the "Last of the Mohicans" who still to this day takes New Year's Eve seriously, dressing in our very best, much as a gesture of respect to the Ex-Owner, Jim Flaherty- who I then dubbed The King of New Years. Troutbeck in those days was a lovely fashioned country-estate old place with cabins and guest accommodations spread throughout the property. Staying within the Main House was and is an additional lodging option. New Years Eve in those days was always one heckuva bash w/ from the lively conversation and interesting people- to the clamoring 5-piece orchestra, tres' elegant black tie 4-course dinner, and- believe it or not-mounds and mounds of glistening grey eggs eaten sumptuously from Mother of Pearl -always satisfied. Ah, dems were the days. Well, fast forward 20 +years, the caviar has gone, as have the orchestra, now having been replaced by a zealous D.J.--but, never the less, was still a hoot and a good time. The new Owners have done a splendid job restoring much of the old grande dame'to it's earlier days of glory. The hotel is large and meandering, and although obviously full of guests it never quite felt cramped, as there are numerous rooms located here-and-there w/deep plush couches to sink into and sip coffee w/an endless assortment of books to reflect over. ( Sadly, no NY Times delivery though surprisingly) I poked around and located a very cute shop w/ an Honor Bar where they sell lovely local honeys, jams and assorted pastries and sundries. The grounds, even in winter are peaceful and bucolic w/gravel pathways set amongst tall old trees. While strolling the woods you will surely come upon a now converted barn where the yoga takes place, and there is a peaceful bubbly brook that runs through the middle of the property with Adirondack lounge chairs set up and white sand to which they aptly call "The Beach". (also with firepits) We noticed too a large outdoor swimming pool that would seem to be very appealing come June. During the New Years evening the fires were kept blazing away throughout the numerous scattered firepits, kept alive and tended to by watchful staff members. As the evening chill set in, a lovely attentive staff member (un-prompted) brought me over a comfy red pashmina to shield the cold. Handsome reveling guests whiled away the evening drinking scotch and champagne. The rooms ( Yet AGAIN I got the last room available!) was all we needed. From the website we see that there are various accommodations to suit any budget m

Troutbeck is lovely place to getaway for the weekend. The main house is charming and offers several common areas to sit in front of a fire with a book or sip on a coffee or cocktail. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our room (#11) was on the 3rd floor and if you don’t mind a few staircases, the room is spacious and charming. The soaker tub was a huge plus. The amenities are great. Crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. The restaurant is wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner. Both meals were very good and service was excellent.

This review is only about the restaurant at dinner. The restaurant was empty on a Friday night except for 2 other tables and whilst the space is elegant in a modern country style, it is not so warm and inviting. The food was mostly very good (in line with other top restaurants in the NY/CT vicinity) the service was friendly and efficient but why oh why would they charge $56 for scallops ?! Other dishes were similarly highly priced… one can only surmise that they do not wish to attract diners who are not hotel guests. Don’t let this stop you from going but be warned about the prices.
