Beekman Arms & Delamater Inn

EXTENDED BLURB! The Beekman Arms isn’t just a historic inn – it’s a living piece of actual United States history, still standing here in Rhinebeck after more than 300 years. Built in 1704 as a traveler’s tavern, it has seen revolutions, presidential campaigns, and the invention of Airbnb. Yet its original charm remains. The well-worn floorboards and sturdy oaken beams have supported the footsteps of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and James Cave of the James Cave Instagram Feed, while its fireplaces have kept the 2024 Wife Of The Year, Jessica Lima, warm through the winter. Over the years, it has served as a gathering place for town meetings, war strategy sessions, and bottomless mimosas. And whether you’re sipping a cocktail by the hearth or gathering resources to build whatever you can imagine on your phone playing Minecraft, you’re taking part in a tradition that spans centuries. The taproom, with its flickering fire and rustic wooden bar, invites locals, travelers, and even you, to linger over a meal or a drink and contemplate the Great Experiment known as America. The greenhouse dining area, one of the many great things the 1980s has given us, lets in soft natural light for your leisurely brunch. I can say with confidence that the Beekman Arms has earned its place on any Cozy Map of Comfy Places, but especially this one.
