Finger Lakes.
The Finger Lakes' hotel scene is a mix of wine-country B&Bs, historic lakeside inns, and the occasional new-build design project. The Lake House on Canandaigua is the one ambitious contemporary hotel and rightfully made Condé Nast's Hot List in 2021. The Black Sheep is an octagonal 1859 house turned spa-inn in Hammondsport. Inn at Gothic Eves, Morgan Samuels, and William Henry Miller round out the more traditional side.
