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.

Some teams structure their stays around focused work sessions; others lean into shared meals, outdoor activities, and time away from screens. In the Catskills and Hudson Valley, that might mean morning meetings followed by hikes, afternoons spent on the water, or evenings gathered around long tables after a day outdoors.

Below are several properties across the region that regularly host company retreats, with group sizes ranging from small executive teams to gatherings of more than 100 guests. Each offers a slightly different setting — from boutique inns to larger lodge-style properties designed for group stays.

Pricing for company retreats varies widely depending on season, food and beverage programs, and whether a group opts for a full-property buyout. The ranges below reflect general starting points where available, based on typical midweek retreats. Final pricing will vary depending on group size, lodging configuration, and selected activities. A pricing overview at the bottom offers a helpful starting point.

Set along the Hudson River just outside Kingston, Hutton Brickyards pairs a peaceful waterfront setting with dedicated spaces for meetings and group gatherings.

Smaller leadership groups can opt for Edgewood Mansion, a private residential-style setting better suited to strategy sessions and executive retreats.

Additional experiences range from sauna barrels overlooking the Hudson to pizza-making workshops with the restaurant‘s chef and winemaking workshops with Kingston Wine Co.

While every property structures retreats differently, most Upstate New York corporate retreats fall within a few general pricing ranges.

• Small leadership retreats (10–20 people): roughly $800–$1,500 per person for a two-night stay including lodging and some meals.
• Mid-size team retreats (20–50 people): typically $1,200–$2,500 per person depending on buyout structure and programming.
• Full-property buyouts: can range from $18,000 to $100,000+ depending on property size, season, and food and beverage programs.

Properties offering full-service retreats with meals, activities, and meeting spaces tend to fall on the higher end of the spectrum, while simpler lodging-based retreats may cost less.
