The Andrew Freedman House offers its guest a unique experience within its historic walls. Constructed in the early 1900s by Andrew Freedman, a businessman and owner of the New York Giants, this hotel once served as a kind of retirement home for affluent New York socialites who lost their wealth in the Panic of 1907. Today, guests can stay in one of the 10 spaces that serve as a bed and breakfast, which feature vintage furniture pieces true to its past. Sit and enjoy reading one of the many books housed in the hotel’s beautiful library, or venture into one of the art galleries held inside. Also acting as a community center for education in the arts, the Andrew Freedman House offers a great way to soak up local culture.
