This Nature Hotel Made of Floating, Glass-walled Cabins Is Perfect for a Wellness Retreat - With a Mountain-view Pool, Spa, and Hiking Trails

"Built on an old bluestone quarry, the boutique hotel in upstate New York (created by the lifestyle brand by the same name) is a modern escape that honors the region's natural materials with its design. The main house, with a sloped steel roof cutting into the sky like a bird's outstretched wings, is built with untreated wood, bluestone, and metal, and is decorated almost entirely in earth tones."

"A wall of windows in the main house conjures a panoramic scene of upstate wilderness. Organic mood lighting streams into the vast multi-purpose area, changing throughout the day as the sun moves across the mountains and tints the scenery in different colors. Tiny bud vases dot the tables, each slightly different than the others, establishing cohesion without uniformity."

"For city dwellers, gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows in your private cabin at Piaule Catskill (pronounced pee-ohl) is an experience akin to sitting in a glass bubble on the moon, with seemingly endless uninhabited terrain sprawling ahead. Luckily, the town of Catskill is just a two to three-hour drive from New York City-no rocket ship needed for this remote, otherworldly experience."

Piaule Catskill is a boutique hotel in upstate New York constructed on an old bluestone quarry, featuring a main house with a distinctive sloped steel roof and interiors built from untreated wood, bluestone, and metal in earth tones. The design balances geometric precision with soft textures including Swedish-inspired furniture, leather, woven cords, and dried flowers. Recently refreshed in partnership with Design Within Reach, the main communal space features expansive windows offering panoramic mountain views and organic mood lighting that shifts throughout the day. The property includes 24 forest cabins with modern interiors, spacious showers, and comfortable beds, creating an otherworldly experience accessible from New York City.
