Beekman Arms 

The oldest hotel in America was started in 1700 and is located right here in Dutchess County in Rhinebeck, N. Y. In the beginning it was a one story stone building built to provide bed and board for the traveler and to serve as a shelter for local residents against Indian attacks. Notables have visited here from early days including General Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, DeWitt Clinton, Benedict Arnold and in later years, Franklin D. Roosevelt. It's a pleasure to know that this historical landmark still serves the public every day of the year in the traditional manner of fine inn-keeping. You're sure to enjoy their fine food and authentic atmosphere.
