About

An enchanted retreat set at the gateway to the Hudson Highlands in Peekskill, New York, The Abbey Inn & Spa is nestled on a hillside overlooking the Hudson River. The boutique hotel welcomes with distinctive guest rooms and suites, stunning meeting and event settings, serene gardens, a tranquil spa and fitness center, as well as Apropos—a farm-to-table, Mediterranean-inspired dining destination that celebrates the bounty of the Hudson Valley -- just one hour from Grand Central Terminal and 3 minutes from the Peekskill Metro North Station.

As the Lower Hudson Valleys newest and most unique catering venue, The Abbey Inn offers a diverse selection of spectacular spaces for milestone events, intimate family celebrations & enchanted weddings to remember. Enjoy a beautiful seasonal event with or without a tent on the Grand Terrace as a separate function or in conjunction with adjacent Highlands Ballroom. Options include a wedding ceremony overlooking The Hudson River, followed by a cocktail reception on The Grand Terrace returning to the ballroom for an elegant feast and dancing.

The Highlands Ballroom, located in the former church, is The Abbey Inn's premier event space offering undeniable "wow factor." At over 2,000 square feet with cathedral ceilings, this soaring space can be customized for a wide range of gatherings from a spectacular wedding to a business conference with full A/V capabilities.

The Cornerstone Room at The Abbey Inn, located in the former convent, is the perfect venue for smaller events or a more intimate wedding. This beautiful 742 square-foot room, adorned with historic hand painted ecclesiastical wall coverings and stained-glass windows, complimented with contemporary lighting, creates a one-of-a-kind memorable space. This unique room is located in the hotel building within the former convent chapel and features a double height cathedral ceiling.

Key to The Abbey Inn & Spa’s uniqueness is it's location on historic Fort Hill, site of an American outpost during the Revolutionary War, as well as its setting within the former convent of the Episcopal Sisters of Saint Mary’s, built at the turn of the century.

Incredibly Excited!!

I initially wrote a review on Knot, because that is where we found the venue, but I wanted to post here too because we are just so incredibly grateful, and want every couple to give this place a chance!!

I first sent a simple inquiry online as I did to many other locations, but I received a very quick and informative response that gave me so much important information about the venue. Not only that but Catherine immediately invited us to come and visit–which we promptly took her up on! I want to be transparent though. We were initially worried because we have seen a couple poor reviews about the Abbey and its management of weddings, but Catherine explained to me that there were a few management companies at fault. But now the actual owners handled things. And would you even believe that this Catherine, who was explaining things to me, is a new employee! She isn't the same one as I read about in the reviews! All of this immediately reassured us. We even held Chatherine up with all of the questions! Her next appointment took it great though–we were all laughing about how desperate we were for a date here! But honestly, all of this goes beyond just our concerns. This was one of the most stunning venues we had ever visited, and there is certainly nothing like it in the area. I had heard that it was a pricy venue, but honestly, it’s pretty in line with others in the area. The other thing I loved about the Abbey was their rain plan! No matter the weather, we were guaranteed a beautiful spot for the ceremony. Catherine has sent us a fantastic proposal, and once we get the guest list down, we are absolutely gonna book! I am so happy that we took the chance on the Abbey and I really encourage every couple to check them out!!

A Perfect Day

We had a wonderful experience at The Abbey Inn & Spa. Catherine was a pleasure to work with in the months leading up to the event. She was responsive, helpful and professional at all times. Bri, who was the day-of coordinator, was amazing. She was everywhere at once and made sure everything was taken care of. The grounds at the Abbey are stunning and the ballroom is beautiful. The staff was so accommodating. Everyone is still talking about what an amazing event we had!

More perfect than we hoped for!

We found the Abbey Inn when it was still under construction in 2019. My daughter's wedding was set for May 2020 but was cancelled due to the pandemic. Eileen was beyond flexible, allow us to change the date three times! The happy day finally happened on Saturday and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Thanks to Gina, Joe and the Chef for a memorable day!
