 The
Thayer Hotel at West Point has been part of American
history since 1926, when it was originally
constructed to accommodate U.S. Military Academy
personnel and their guests. It was a successor of
the original West Point Hotel and is named for
Colonel Sylvanius Thayer, Superintendent of the
Academy from 1817 to 1833.
Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, The
Thayer Hotel is the only full-service hotel on the
Hudson River from the George Washington Bridge to
Albany. The majestic, Gothic-style, granite building
sits at the south entrance to the U.S. Military
Academy, offering dramatic views of the Hudson River
and the Hudson Highlands.
The Thayer Hotel completed a $26 million dollar
restoration in 1999 and additional renovations in
2003/2004. Today, The Thayer Hotel offers 151 beautiful
guest rooms and ten meeting rooms for events from 15
to 300 people. In keeping with the historic
architecture, the dining room retains the old world
charm with leaded glass windows, chandeliers and
portraits of military leaders of the past. During
the summer months, the Hudson Terrace offers ever
popular alfresco dining and breathtaking views of
the Hudson River and historic Constitution Island
Over the years, The Thayer Hotel has hosted a long line
of dignitaries and celebrities including General
Douglas Mac Arthur, President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
President John F. Kennedy, Her Royal Highness
Princess Alsha Bint-Huessen of Jordan, singer
Luciano Pavarotti, actors George C. Scott and
Gregory Peck, the cast of "The Sopranos", and many
others. |
