Hudson Valley Magazine:
2008 Editors' Pick Best Transformation
"Brothers James and David Chapman toiled for five years in a labor of love to renovate the classic 1854 Hotel Rhinecliff. Over the years it had also served as a rooming house and bar, before falling on hard times. Now, the Rhinecliff is a boutique country hotel featuring beautifully restored wood floors, historic beams, stone fireplaces, and a Victorian oak bar. Its nine guest bedrooms are totally modernized and offer balconies with a smashing view of the Hudson. There's a banquet room and a newly opened brasserie-style bar/restaurant with a menu emphasizing local ingredients."
Rhinecliff Hotel a new old gem in town.
"Finally the hotel opened and of course I wanted to take a peek. I was not disappointed. The place is spectacular, a beautiful remodeling job and an awesome view of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains."
Rhinecliff Hotel & Restaurant (pssst... it's open)
"The Ploughman's Board features Rural Intelligence Road Trips generous hunks of cheddar and Stilton, house cured pickles and vegetables and a smooth, rich pate. Richard Bryzinski's Northwind Farms chicken, butterflied and quickly grilled, is served with tangy preserved lemons, roasted garlic and watercress. There are oysters, a small plate of duck confit accompanied by frisee, local apples and fingerling potatoes and bacon. The Rhinecliff wings are crispy frogs legs with a dipping side of parsley aioli, and the fish and chips are served in a paper bag to preserve heat and crispness. A hamburger ordered rare was rare--not overcooked--a sign that the kitchen pays attention."
