About The Heartwood Hotel

DSC07093 Edit

Our Story

What began as a vision for a more thoughtful kind of stay has become a hotel rooted in warmth and intention. The Heartwood was designed for travelers who value atmosphere as much as amenities — a space that feels both welcoming and well-crafted. Inspired by the Hudson Valley, we’ve blended timeless design with modern ease.

Our Approach to Hospitality

To us, hospitality is more than service. It’s the feeling of belonging the moment you arrive, the calm of a well-made space, the ease of being cared for without effort. Our team brings that spirit to life each day, ensuring every stay feels genuine and memorable.

Inspired by the Hudson Valley Community

The Heartwood is woven into this region — shaped by its landscapes, its makers, and its spirit. We partner with local artisans and celebrate the culture around us, so that a stay here feels connected to both place and people. It’s a hotel that reflects the energy of Poughkeepsie and the timeless beauty of the valley beyond.
