Setting

Dock of the clay

Rebuilding The Cabins at Hutton Brickyards is a feat of admirable skill. Its raw materials of a post-industrial landscape beside the Hudson River, featuring acres of woodland, a gantry crane and weathered kiln sheds, have now been moulded into a refined retreat of contemporary cabins and a showstopper of a cottage. Cedar-barrel saunas and outdoorsy extras, such as archery and yoga, are effectively the ‘kiln firing’ that strengthens the appeal of this one-of-a-kind country stay.

Our favourite rooms

Cabins vary in layout rather than quality. King Cabins are made for two, with tiled, monochrome ensuites and a record player with a curated stash of vinyl. Riverview King Cabins, in particular, are hard to resist with the Hudson providing the scenery through wall-of-glass windows opening onto the deck. Queen Cabins are family-friendly with a futon for a third guest, and come with a choice of river or forest locations. The Cottage blends original brick walls with retained period details and a wrought-iron staircase, and is dressed with refined rustic furnishings to create a luxurious home from home for up to four.

Spa

A riverfront garden is home to two wooden-barrel saunas, where steam-fuelled relaxation comes with hypnotic Hudson views, bolstered by a private changing area and outdoor shower. For massages and facials, there are also two treatment rooms in the same leafy locale.

Packing tips

Although outdoorsy threads may seem the obvious order of the day, casual urban attire for strolling around Kingston should be on your luggage list, too.

Also

Check-in is up at the mansion, a short drive away. Note that summer is the hotel’s sociable season, with events such as craft markets and concerts dotting the calendar.

Pet‐friendly

Up to two dogs can stay for a flat fee of US$75. Outside of the cabins, you’ll need to put your pups on a leash, and they must be up-to-date on vaccinations. Part of each fee is donated to a local pet shelter. See more pet-friendly hotels in Hudson Valley.

Children

Queen cabins come with a futon in the living area that can sleep a third guest; the two-bedroom Cottage sleeps four, and travel cots can be provided free.

Sustainability efforts

Locally sourced ingredients are the stars of the hotel’s seasonally changing restaurant menus. Hutton Brickyards has sustainability initiatives in place around low-impact design, conservation of the estate’s legacy spaces and adaptive reuse, plus landscaping practices that work with nature. Single-use plastics are kept to a minimum, too.

Top Table

Dining on the deck in summer is peak Pavilion.

Dress Code

There’s no need for formality at either dining spot, but you could don your glad rags to add to the sense of occasion at dinner for both Edgewood and the River Pavilion.

Hotel restaurant

Alfresco tables, Hudson Valley produce and wood-fired cooking are the wholesome trio delivering memorable meals at seasonal spot, the River Pavilion — set in airy former dockside warehouses with Hudson River views and open between May and November. As the mercury drops, the storied elegance of Edgewood Restaurant’s oak bar and mod-vintage dining room beckons (it opens Thursday to Saturday in the evening, from mid-November through May); and its hearty French-American fare (see filet-mignon) warrants the short drive up to the mansion from the cabins. Note that neither restaurant serves breakfast, so you’ll need to either stock your cabin with Continental supplies or head into nearby Kingston for the first fuel of the day. 

Hotel bar

Bag a table on the lawn and enjoy craft cocktails plus a choice of wines and beers as the Hudson rolls by the River Pavilion (May through October); or take your tipples indoors, ensconced, up the hill, in the cozy grandeur of Edgewood Restaurant’s bar. 

Last orders

The River Pavilion is open from 5pm until 9pm, Tuesday to Saturday; from noon until 2pm, Thursday to Saturday, and from 11am until 6pm on Sundays; closed on Mondays. Edgewood's hours are 5pm to 9pm, Thursday to Saturday.

Room service

There’s no room service at The Cabins at Hutton Brickyards, but your cabin has a mini-fridge, coffee machine and tray of local snacks and drinks.

Worth getting out of bed for

As well as spa treatment rooms and riverfront sauna barrels, The Cabins at Hutton Brickyards has regular yoga classes, archery and nature walks in the grounds. There are bicycles to borrow for wheeling along the Empire State Trail, which passes through Hutton Brickyards; if you’re hiking rather than biking, expect a three-hour yomp through Kingston to the Wallkill Valley Rail trailhead. Staff are happy to help arrange guided hiking in the Catskills, kayaking or yachting on the Hudson, or sign up for aerial adventure with a hot-air ballooning trip.

Local restaurants

Reminiscent of an NYC steakhouse that’s been ferried upstate, Ship to Shore is a burgundy-upholstered bistro serving steak, pasta and seafood, with standouts such as coconut-crusted shrimp and pumpkin ravioli. Café and tapas restaurant Mirador brings bodega-style bonhomie to Kingston with Spanish-inspired small plates and casual bites.

Local bars

Light-filled, timbered interiors at Kingston wine bar, Chleo, are a welcoming setting for glasses of wine from their globetrotting cellar paired with a modest menu of accompanying eats; they also serve cocktails. A neon sign casts a gentle glow over moodily lit interiors at contemporary cocktail bar Lone Wolf, where the concoctions are inventive and the nibbles, pan-Asian-inspired.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this riverside hotel in the Hudson Valley and unpacked their Kingston Wine Co tipples and Rebecca Peacock jewellery, a full account of their country break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Hutton Brickyards in Upstate New York…

A luxury cabin stay on an ex industrial site is an unlikely proposition, but The Cabins at Hutton Brickyards harnesses the heritage elements of its riverside setting, where bricks were once fired and shipped to the city, to create an outdoorsy retreat with an urban edge. 

There are more rooms up at the mansion (where you’ll check in), but it’s the canopy-shaded cabins that have our hearts: this is a place to unwind in nature, be it with a yoga lesson, river-edge sauna or walking the forest trails. The hotel’s 73 acres are dotted with brick-circled fire pits, cabin-front decks and Adirondack chairs.

In summer, this Sylvan spot comes into its own as an arcadian setting for revels such as concerts and craft markets. The hotel’s rusting kiln sheds are now open-air venues, and an old outbuilding has been repurposed as a buzzing seasonal restaurant showcasing local fare. For year-round entertainment, the clapboard-cute town of Kingston is pleasingly nearby.
