Not every state is as lucky as New York, here we have a plethora of accommodations that will inspire you to travel outside of your town. Yet out of all of the Empire State's regions, the Catskills might just be the most unique when it comes to finding a place to stay. We've previously featured the renowned Roxbury Motel, but there's also another themed hotel hiding out here in the woods that's worth taking the time to visit.
Tucked away at the base of Overlook Mountain in the epic town of Woodstock is Hotel Dylan.
Carrying out a Rock 'n' Roll theme throughout the entire hotel, each room has the name of a famous artist who has ties to the area or one of their songs on the door.

Inside you'll find chic and colorful decor that you would expect to discover within New York's favorite funky town.
Hotel Dylan has various size rooms to accommodate guests, from suites to smaller rooms that have multiple beds for friends and family.
One of our favorite features of Hotel Dylan is that every room is equipped with a record player, giving guests the opportunity to bring their own tunes and vinyls available to borrow from the front desk!
Just outside of your rooms you'll find hammocks on the front lawn, a relaxing place to hang out after you go and explore Woodstock.
Or perhaps you'll want to take advantage of the new pool at Hotel Dylan, the perfect place to cool off after a hike or walking around town.

You'll find many of the guests gathering around the fire pit once it gets to dark, enjoying all that Hotel Dylan has to offer.
Walk down past the front lawn and you'll find a renovated garage that now serves as a charming gift shop.
Inside guests can shop around Hotel Dylan merchandise and other unique gifts that pay homage to Woodstock and this scenic area.
But that's not all! Walk a few more steps and you'll find yourself at the doorstep of the Santa Fe! The Mexican Restaurant is just outside of your room at Hotel Dylan and has a menu that will make your mouth water.
