Inn At Bellefield Set To Open In January In Hyde Park

HYDE PARK, NY — A hotel directly across from the Culinary Institute of America is taking reservations and will open its doors to customers in January.

The Inn at Bellefield Residence Inn by Marriott International is the first structure to be finished at Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park and is the first of two hotels the completed development will offer.

The development is a $1 billion hospitality, agritourism and residential destination on Route 9 in Hyde Park.

Located at 25 Old Vineyard Place, the Inn at Bellefield is a 137-room all-suite hotel. It will feature full kitchens, ergonomic workstations, an upscale fitness center, crisp linens and distinct living and sleeping rooms. There will also be 3,180 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space with full audio/video and culinary services.

The hotel’s Grand Ballroom will accommodate events of up to 150 guests.

For dining, there’s The Storyteller, a farm-to-table lounge serving delicious meals, local craft beers and specialty cocktails. A quick bite and sundries can be grabbed at Eleanor’s Market, named after first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

Lance T. Shaner, chairman and CEO of Shaner Hotel Group LP, said it’s exciting to welcome the first guests to the hotel in January.

“With an unmatchable location in the heart of Hyde Park, the Inn at Bellefield is designed to appeal to both business and leisure travelers seeking a truly unique experience,” he said.

“From the signature sycamore wood throughout our lobby to the Franklin D. Roosevelt fireside-chat recordings playing alongside our outdoor fire pits, the hotel design and layout spotlight the region’s illustrious history to create a standout property unlike anything else in Dutchess County,” Shaner said.

The inn’s general manager, Adam Pregno, said construction supported 200 jobs, and there will be about 35 new jobs working in the hotel.

“We eagerly anticipate the Inn at Bellefield becoming a compelling destination for both guests unwinding after a day of adventures and locals enjoying our beautiful grounds and views,” he said.

When Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park is completed, residential space will comprise 60 percent of the development and commercial space will make up the remaining 40 percent.

Half of the property’s 340 acres remain as undeveloped woods, helping to preserve the region’s natural beauty.

The next phases of construction include:

• 430,000 square feet of retail and commercial space that will include restaurants, breweries, a high-end grocer, daycare, co-working space, a film production studio and agriculturally themed specialty shops
• 400,000 square feet of tourism and hospitality space, including a second luxury hotel
• Approximately 801 residential units, of which 344 will be rental units
