The Catskills are an interesting and stunning region. The Catskills have long been the holiday destination for New Yorkers, but following the advent of cheap flights to more exotic locations, they also went fast into decline. Today one can find many abandoned resorts and once grand hotels around the Catskills.
But not all the resorts and boutique hotels left the Catskills, and it remains a premier getaway for folks from NYC and Boston. It is only around 2.5 hours from New York City but offers a getaway a world away.
