10 Stylish Summer Weekend Getaways From NYC

Reported by Vogue.

The second the temperature in New York City breaks 90 degrees, the same fantasy kicks in for everyone: get out. But not everyone has the budget, PTO, or patience for transatlantic flights. According to Vogue, some of the most restorative summer escapes you'll find are already within a few hours of the city — and they're legitimately good, not just "good for a quick trip."

The Hudson Valley remains the gold standard for culture-forward weekends. Kingston's Hotel Kinsley — spread across four historic buildings including a 19th-century bank, with interiors by Studio Robert McKinley — threads old-world architecture with sharp contemporary design. In Hudson, The Maker was co-founded by the people behind Fresh Beauty, so the attention to aesthetic detail tracks. Pocketbook Hudson, a converted factory with a standalone bathhouse, is the move for post-antiquing recovery. If you want acreage, Wildflower Farms in Gardiner sits on 140 acres at the Catskills foothills with a spa, cooking school, and the kind of sprawling porch lined with Adirondack chairs that makes you forget you have a phone. Inness in Accord — 225 acres designed by landscape artist Miranda Brooks, helmed by Taavo Somer — is equally compelling. And Troutbeck in Dutchess County has a guest list that, historically, included Thoreau, Emerson, Thurgood Marshall, and W.E.B. Du Bois. Your turn.

Sand, Forest, and Everything In Between

For beaches without the full Hamptons circus, Amagansett delivers. The Roundtree offers shingled cottages and white cruiser bikes for the one-mile ride to the water. The Reform Club has a 20th-century tea house, a serious contemporary art collection, and an apple orchard where rosé during golden hour is practically mandatory. Montauk's Marram — boutique, dune-nestled, self-described as "barefoot luxury" — is for the person who wants ocean sounds at night and good surf in the morning. Further north, the Catskills offer a different kind of reset: Piaule's 24 modular cabins blur into the forest with floor-to-ceiling glass and plunge pools overlooking the hills. The Henson, run by Michelin-starred chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von Hauske Valtierra, argues convincingly that the best meal in the region is happening right here, not in the city. For wellness in a more structured sense, Miraval Berkshires — the Northeast outpost of the brand that essentially invented the destination spa — sits on 380 acres in Lenox with equine therapy and architecture so clean it qualifies as a beauty treatment on its own. And if you actually want to disappear, the Adirondacks' six million acres are waiting, with The Sagamore on Lake George as the most iconic entry point.

The perfect summer weekend isn't in Europe — it's two hours up the highway, and it's been there the whole time.
