Bellefield: Agrihood Promotes Tourism in Hudson Valley

Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park is the first segment of a billion-dollar project aiming to promote tourism in the Hudson Valley. Although there’s so much to see and do in this beautiful place, there aren’t many hotels that guests feel meet their expectations.

Hyde Park is known for its historic memorabilia. From touring the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt to lounging on the grass at the Vanderbilt Mansion, there’s much to see if you’re into American history.

This project is anticipated to become a world-class dining and tourist destination, while incorporating a myriad of residential units. The concept this project is following is known formally as an “agrihood,” which is essentially an area supported by agriculture. In this secluded space, residents and guests can work, play and eat in the same vicinity. This agrihood will eventually feature a vineyard, which will make it a spectacular spot for wine tastings.

According to the Bellefield website, “The ten-year combined operation and visitor spending economic impact from Phase 1 of the project will be more than $634 million. The hospitality component of Bellefield will create 550 jobs during its construction and provide nearly 370 full-time permanent jobs on-site.”
