Planning a company event in New York State

Upstate New York is where New York companies go to get out of the city without flying: a retreat on the Hudson, in the Catskills or by the Finger Lakes, reached by train or coach. Resorts, estates and lodges with meeting rooms let a team stay together in one place.

When to go

Late spring, summer and autumn are the easiest seasons, with outdoor sessions possible from May to October and peak colour in early October. Winter suits ski or fireside retreats in the Catskills and the Adirondacks, but snow can slow coaches. Autumn weekends book up early.

Getting the team there

From Manhattan, trains run up the Hudson Valley and coaches reach the Catskills, so a team can travel together without driving. Teams from elsewhere fly into the New York airports, or into Albany, Syracuse or Rochester for the north and the Finger Lakes. Most venues need a short transfer from the station.

Resorts, estates and lodges

Country resorts with conference rooms in the Catskills and the Hudson Valley, historic estates that open to groups, lakeside lodges in the Adirondacks and wineries with event spaces on the Finger Lakes. Smaller retreats can take over a whole inn or estate.

What to plan

Count bedrooms on site, as many country venues are small. Farm-to-table dinners, wine tastings, hiking, river or lake outings and, in winter, skiing are easy to add. Some teams combine a day in New York City with a retreat upstate.

62 event spaces, 39 hotels, 26 restaurants, 6 historic houses, 5 wineries, and 1 estate.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Where to hold a corporate retreat near New York City?

The Hudson Valley is the nearest choice, with estates, inns and resorts reached by train from Manhattan. The Catskills offer mountain resorts and lodges, and the Finger Lakes suit longer retreats around wineries and lakes.

What is the best season for an offsite in upstate New York?

May to October, when sessions can move outdoors; early October brings the autumn colour and is in high demand. Winter works for ski or lodge retreats, with some risk of snow on the roads.

How do you get a team from Manhattan to the Hudson Valley?

By train up the Hudson from the city, then a short shuttle to the venue, or by chartered coach straight from the office. Both avoid having the team drive and let the group arrive together.
