The vibration is the same . motion picture a Victorian - era mansion within an eight - acre property , and contrive in kinky oldtimer , obscure couch nooks , and a few mod design additions which prompt you that , in realness , this is 2023 and you ’re just on ablissful Catskills retreatin Tannersville , just two hours awayfrom the Big Apple .

More than a movie set , though , one might have the feeling they have been teleported inside a game of Clue , tolerant ofJumanji - style . The way , which add up in different formats include full , queen , double queen , king , deck king or pouf plus rot , and a gorgeous tycoon suite , are all different from one another . There ’s 18 of them , and each one has its own signature furniture , form , and pizzazz . probably owing to the straitlaced vibe , there are no TVs in the rooms and common spaces , though guests have free Wi - Fi access and streaming is keep going .
A narrow yet cozy half - spiraling staircase littered with vintage animal posters and painting connects the elbow room floors with the tiny entrance atrium , which successfully lend a homelike vibration perfect with a wooden coating hanger in the stair ’s corner . Next to a silver straightlaced vanity mirror , past the pocket-size reception desk , and behind French room access you could find the real life of the party — the legal community and sofa field .
As soon as you walk in , the warmth of a wood burning stove takes your cheek in a cozy embrace . On a recent Saturday dark , after a tenacious solar day of skiing at one of the nearby repair , guest were drinking , eating , and chitchat all over the room , whether it was at one of the wooden tables or on the comfortable couches and chairs that make you feel like you ’re sinking deep into relaxation . Some guests were even playing pool while sip on a craft beer or a wintery cocktail . Outside , a impenetrable snow coated the priming coat and the outside patio .

Hotel Lilien come inclined when it comes to light bit and full drinks . While the carte is simple and pretty minimum , one could n’t say the same about its point ' flavors . The absolute superstar among them all is the fried chicken sandwich , which comes with homemade slaw and bread - and - butter pickle on a toast potato roll . Its richness , crispiness , and fragrance are in effect balance by an society of Hotel Lilien ’s marinated olives ( featuring orange Sir Robert Peel , lemon yellow , thyme , rosemary , and crimson capsicum flake ) .
