Conveniently located less than 90 minutes from New York City, Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park will create a world-class, multi-faceted hospitality and tourism destination with an integrated residential agrihood that will perfectly complement the world-renowned Culinary Institute of America* in Hyde Park. This project will fulfill the area’s need for high quality lodging while maintaining the area’s natural beauty. More than 50 percent of the site’s 340 acres will remain wooded and undeveloped with dedicated land devoted to agricultural use, honoring Dutchess County’s legacy of sustainability.
*Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park has no association or affiliation with The Culinary Institute of America.
Prominently sited at the Bellefield Route 9 Entry, the Village Green is a lively, urbane, but rustic public space. Encircled by tree canopies and wetland streams, it is accessed by a picturesque footbridge from the Market Square and from the ample shaded and screened parking immediately east. A concentration of food retail and services, art galleries, shops and artist studio lofts will result in a dynamic and creative place—sensitively carved out of the wooded site. A spacious terrace —supported by rough-hewn timber trestles provides an overlook to the Hudson River to the west—and the expected dramatic sunsets.
A New York State Wine Center and NYC Craft Brewers’ Beer Garden and a coffee and teahouse will be prominent features of this site.
Embrace a locavore’s lifestyle, and fill your market basket till it overflows with farm-fresh ingredients grown on property and from nearby Hudson River Valley farms at Bellefield Market Square’s year-round farmers’ market.
Several signature restaurants, with a rising star chef at the helm, will offer original Farm-to-Table menus using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients for both intimate meals, family dinners, larger gatherings, “foodie-themed” events and musical programs. Delight in the knowledge that not only do you know where your food is coming from, you may even know the farmer’s name.
Located directly across from the Culinary Institute of America—the gateway to the Hyde Park Historic Town Center—this site will feature a moderately priced, 137-room extended stay hotel will provide much-needed lodging for tourists and business travelers alike. Sitting on a high-level site with views of the Maritje Kill, woodlands, and the Hudson River Valley to the west, it will provide gracious accommodations and amenities such as a small conference center and a chic rooftop lounge. The property’s buildings are designed to the historic architecture of the Village of Hyde Park; while providing easy access, ample parking and state of the art hospitality amenities.

Main Street provides the lively urbanity — and shopping — you crave, alongside the green, open space of The Bellefield Village Commons. Shops and boutiques are topped by spacious, elegant apartments. Abundant parking is concealed inside the blocks with intimate scaled live/work units sited along the Hudson River side of this unique neighborhood. A new culinary-based food shopping market will anchor the west portion of the Main Street neighborhood.
The Village Commons — nestled between Main Street and the lush, wooded ridge to its east — provides many options for recreational and cultural activities. An outdoor naturally fed pool, adjoining fountains and landscape greatly complement this true public garden.
