Carrollcliffe, hotel in New York, United States
Carrollcliffe is a hotel building in Tarrytown with 45 rooms, originally built in the late 1800s as a private residence using stone and brick. The structure was expanded in 1910 and offers views of the Hudson River from elevated points in the area.
The building was constructed by Howard Carroll, a brigadier general in the National Guard, in the late 1800s and remained in family ownership until 1940. After several ownership changes, it was converted into an upscale boutique hotel in the early 2000s before closing in early 2025.
The building reflects European castle architecture that emerged in Tarrytown's wealthy late 1800s neighborhood. Its stone facades and towers show the tastes of a family that wanted to bring international influences to their American home.
The property sits in a quiet area of Tarrytown and serves as a good base for exploring local historical sites and bridges in the region. The house has solid stone construction and is surrounded by trees, making it a peaceful setting.
The building was designed from the start as a European castle even though it was built entirely in New York, making it an unusual landmark. Decades ago, the residence hosted world-famous guests like J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie during major events.
