By Erin|2021-10-17T15:01:59+00:00October 17th, 2021|Pet-Friendly Getaway|

Just 100 miles from NYC, newly opened boutique hotel The Rex was designed to bring a nature driven experience to Philadelphia and New York City urban-dwelling explorers and travelers alike. Set just outside the Promised Land State Park in the Poconos Mountains, access to the outdoors waits just outside your hotel room with the ability to hike, kayak, paddle board, mountain bike, snowshoe, snowmobile and cross country ski within a 20 minute radius of the Rex. (Or spend your days on the hotel grounds by the bonfire and soaking in the cedar tub — we won’t judge!)
