Near New York City there is a hotel where Halloween is celebrated year-round

Are you planning a trip to New York, now that U.S. has reopened its borders to Italians (as of Nov. 8, you will be able to cross the star-studded borders as long as you are vaccinated)? If you're a lover of "weird" hotels, there's one you should mark on your calendar. If only for one night. We are talking about the The Roxbury at Stratton Falls which is about 140 miles from Manhattan and is the perfect accommodation for a weekend on the Catskill Mountains.

Why The Roxbury at Stratton Falls is worth a detour

What makes The Roxbury at Stratton Falls so special is the way it is designed: not only are its rooms are themed, but guests are invited to stay there in disguise. Thus, it happens to stroll in the garden next to zombies and vampires even in the middle of August, to have breakfast next to a witch, to play guessing games between historical and fantasy characters.

It really is as if it is always Halloween here, confirmed by its owner who explained how not a day goes by without seeing someone in costume walking around the gardens.

While initially the idea was to create suites inspired by 1960s and 1970s TV, plans have since changed. And today each room tells a fantasy. It goes without saying that there is even a room dedicated to Dracula, the most popular in the days around Halloween.

What is the purpose? To entertain! It's well written on the hotel's website, "If opening the door to your room doesn't bring a smile to your face, it means we didn't do our job right," it reads. "Imagine Alice in Wonderland marrying Willie Wonka and the two of them going to live in Oz-that's exactly what we thought of."

A fabulous location

Actually, there are two hotels and they are only a few meters apart. Both have a spa, themed rooms, and the ability to organize excursions to the mountains and to waterfalls. You can choose to sleep in Cinderella's room or an undercover superhero's room in an enchanted forest. You can get excited, dream, even scared! But always with a smile. Because not only is it Halloween all year round, in the hotel you also feel free to play and be yourself.

In fact, beyond The Roxbury at Stratton Falls, it is really the entire Catkills Mountains area that is worth a visit. There are streams, valleys and lakes here that are perfect for those who enjoy hiking and fishing, biking, hiking, kayaking, as well as distillery tours. That is why, if you intend to visit New York, it is worth extending your stay by a couple of nights to get this far. Discovering an area that may be little known, but full of attraction.
