Travel 7 years ago 10 Hip Hotels in Upstate NY
I knew there were a few cute “hip” hotels in upstate New York, but it wasn’t until I started to really do research that I found there were dozens and dozens! Living on the best West Coast has left me with a void in knowledge of traveling to upstate NY. As an Angelino, I often fill my weekends with quick road trips to Joshua Tree, Palm Springs or Santa Ynez. However, with an upcoming trip to New York in the books, I decided to take a weekend getaway someplace outside of the city. During my research, I found these 10 adorably Hip Hotels that I just had to share with you in case you’re planning a trip too.
