Travel & Accommodations

Flight

EWR, LGA, JFK, ALB

We recommend flying into any of the New York City-area airports and then taking either the bus, train, or a rental car up to Kingston. If you're driving, Newark will be the fastest and easiest option (plus no city driving!). JFK has the best public transportation into Manhattan to catch the bus or train (but we understand the allure of LaGuardia's new terminal with that water feature). You can also fly into the Albany International Airport, which is about an hour north of Kingston.

Train

Metro-North

For guests arriving from New York City, Metro-North is an easy and affordable option -- and also provides beautiful views of the Hudson River! Metro-North's Hudson Line offers regular train service from Grand Central Station to Poughkeepsie, which is a 20-30 minute cab or Uber ride from Kingston.

Train

Amtrak

Amtrak is another convenient option with Hudson River views! You can take the Empire Service from Penn Station to Rhinecliff, which is a 20-minute drive from Kingston.

Travel Note

Trailways Bus

The Trailways Bus is the most direct way to get to Kingston from New York City: it will take you straight from the Port Authority in Manhattan to downtown Kingston for $30-$50. It's a nice coach bus with a bathroom.

Best Western Plus Kingston Hotel & Conference Center

Shuttles to the wedding venue will pick guests up and drop them off at this hotel, which is also a 25-30 minute walk or a 5 minute drive to the welcome party. We have a block of rooms secured at this hotel for our guests to reserve at a discounted rate.

The shuttles will also pick guests up here. This hotel is about an 11 minute drive to the welcome party. We have a block of rooms secured at this hotel for our guests to reserve at a discounted rate.

Hotel

Hotel Kingsley

Hotel Kingsley is a cute boutique hotel in downtown Kingston, right in the middle of a bunch of shops, restaurants, and bars. It's a 13 minute walk to the welcome party and a 17 minute walk to the Best Western, where you can hop on the shuttle to the wedding. No room block reserved.

Hotel

Mohonk Mountain House

Mohonk is a beautiful luxury mountain resort located about 20 minutes southeast of Stonehill's, with a spa, golf course, and a ton of other activities and amenities. Claire famously stayed here on a class trip in sixth grade and had an excellent time. No room block reserved.

Hotel

Inness

Inness is another gorg luxury resort in the area for those with flexible budgets -- about a 7 minute drive from Stonehill's. They also have an incredible restaurant open to the public, if you're looking for the perfect place to watch the sunset on Friday night before the welcome party. No room block reserved.

House Or Rental

Airbnb

Airbnb has hundreds of options in Kingston, Accord, and the surrounding towns. However, Uber/Lyft is not reliable in this area, so you will have to arrange your own transportation to the welcome party, the hotel shuttles or the wedding venue, and the farewell brunch.
