Planning a road-trip? Plan to stay at one of these classic motels along the way.
Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel
For jaded New Yorkers in dire need of a bucolic escape, we recommend hitting the road upstate to Kate’s Lazy Meadow Motel in Mount Tremper, near Woodstock in the Catskills. This kitschy-cool, mid-century motor lodge co-owned by B-52’s rocker Kate Pierson comprises eight rooms tricked out with retro décor and design themes ranging from “wacky UFO” to “river-tubing gnome.” Bathrooms boast hotel toiletries snatched by Kate while on tour with the band. Stay in one of the Duplex De-Lux Kitchen Suites (rooms 7 and 8), which feature balconies, spiral staircases leading to loft bedrooms, Leave-it-to-Beaver kitchens, and a shared front porch. Then turn up the jets on the 20-person, saltwater Jacuzzi (complete with underwater light show). If you need even more space to party like a rock star, book the motel’s satellite property, the Lazy Cabin, a three-bedroom “love shack” only 5 miles from the center of Woodstock. www.lazymeadow.com
