A new restaurant and spa with meeting, event and gathering spaces, along with a boutique hotel and fitness center, is taking over a former convent in northern Westchester County, N.Y., the Mount Pleasant (N.Y.) Daily Voice reported.
The Abbey Inn & Spa will open in January 2020 in the former convent of the Episcopal Sisters of Saint Mary’s that is nestled atop historic Fort Hill in Peekskill, N.Y. the Daily Voice reported.
The former convent buildings were once inhabited between 1872 and 1963 by the Community of St. Mary, said to be the oldest Episcopal religious community in the United States, the Daily Voice reported.
The property adjoins 65 wooded acres of Fort Hill Park, scene of a historic three-day Revolutionary War battle in the late 1700s, and is a mile from downtown Peekskill, the Daily Voice reported.
The convent has been repurposed with luxury accommodations and amenities that include a restaurant, spa, and fitness area, along with meeting, event, and gathering spaces, both indoors and outdoors, that overlook the Hudson River and a 42-room, full-service boutique hotel, the Daily Voice reported.
The Apropos Restaurant & Bar will be the inn’s contemporary-American eatery, featuring Mediterranean-influenced and locally sourced fare, the Daily Voice reported.
Managed by Hay Creek Hotels, The Abbey Inn has undergone a $22 million renovation overseen by Ginsburg Development Companies, the Daily Voice reported.
The resulting design is contemporary with a universal feel, preserving the aged granite and brick exteriors of the former convent while reconfiguring interior spaces and transforming two chapels into meeting and event spaces.
