8 of Upstate NY’s Best Company Retreats (Catskills + Hudson Valley)

Company retreats have taken on a new shape in recent years. For many teams — especially remote or hybrid ones — the goal isn’t just a conference room and a schedule of meetings, but a setting that allows people to step away from routine and reconnect in person.

Upstate New York has become a natural backdrop for that shift. Within a few hours of New York City, the Catskills and Hudson Valley offer a mix of design-forward hotels, restored lodges, and small inns well suited to everything from leadership offsites to full-company gatherings.

Dog-Friendly Getaways in the Catskills and Hudson Valley (2026 Guide)

Traveling Upstate is better with four-legged companions — especially when the setting makes it easy to step outside and go. While many stays allow dogs, a select few stand out for their access to open land, trails, and walkable surroundings, where long mornings and post-dinner strolls are built into the experience.

A Guide to Franklin, NY

Set among the rolling hills and farmland of Delaware County, Franklin is one of the western Catskills’ quiet creative hubs — a small historic village where antique shops, artist studios, farms, and longtime cultural institutions line a compact stretch of Main Street.

Unlike some of the Catskills’ busier weekend towns, Franklin moves at a slower pace. A day here might mean antiquing, talking with local artists, catching an evening theater performance, or driving scenic backroads between neighboring hamlets and farms.

Though modest in size, the village has quietly built a reputation for its concentration of deeply personal businesses and creative spaces — the kind of places that feel more like collections, workshops, or studios than traditional retail stores.
