With an acclaimed contemporary American restaurant and special event space at the forefront, it’s easy to overlook that Diamond Mills is also a boutique hotel with 30 rooms, situated on Esopus Falls in the historic Village of Saugerties. While the vibe isn’t exactly kid-friendly, there’s a lot of modernized charm in a new property which was once an industrial paper mill.
The best standard rooms for families have double queen beds, while the Esopus and Tower suites both have separate living rooms with pull-out couches. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat- screen televisions, and iPod docks. Furnished balconies and heated bathroom floors elevate this property to something special.
In 2016, the hotel owners opened the Saugerties Steamboat Co. nearby, offering fishing charters and guided kayak tours. Also in Saugerties, Puttin’ Plus is an outdoor recreation center with miniature golf, go karts and batting cages. You can also play golf, go horseback riding, and hike nearby.
