AN INN BEFITTING THE REGION

Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park, a $1 billion, world-class hospitality, agritourism and residential destination located directly across from the Culinary Institute of America, will soon conclude construction of its first structure.
The Inn at Bellefield by Marriott International, is a 137-room all-suite hotel with sophisticated amenities that will provide an elite lodging experience. It is now accepting reservations starting Jan. 14 and expects to welcome its first guests shortly thereafter.
A $55 million project developed by T-Rex Capital Group LLC, in partnership with Shaner Hotel Group LP, an award-winning international hotel owner and operator, the Inn is the first of two hotels the completed development will offer.
Located at 25 Old Vineyard Place on a natural rise with sweeping vistas, the Inn at Bellefield will feature full kitchens, ergonomic workstations, an upscale fitness center, crisp linens and distinct living and sleeping rooms. It also will offer 3,180 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space with full audio/video and culinary services. The hotel’s Grand Ballroom will accommodate events of up to 150 guests. Guests will be able to dine at The Storyteller, a farm-to-table lounge serving delicious meals, local craft beers and specialty cocktails, or grab a quick bite and sundries at Eleanor’s Market, named after the former Hyde Park resident, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
Lance T. Shaner, chairman and CEO, Shaner Hotel Group, said, “With an unmatchable location in the heart of Hyde Park, the Inn at Bellefield is designed to appeal to both business and leisure travelers seeking a truly unique experience. From the signature sycamore wood throughout our lobby to the Franklin D. Roosevelt fireside-chat recordings playing alongside our outdoor fire pits, the hotel design and layout spotlight the region’s illustrious history to create a standout property unlike anything else in Dutchess County.
When Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park is completed, residential space will comprise 60% of the development and commercial space will make up the remaining 40%. The site will help preserve the region’s natural beauty by ensuring that more than half of the property’s 340 acres remain as undeveloped woods.
New York State’s Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council and Empire State Development played a vital role in facilitating Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park, supporting the project with a $2.25 million capital grant from Empire State Development.
T-Rex Capital Group, an experienced privately held real estate firm, has sourced and invested in proprietary transactions encompassing more than 11 million square feet with a gross asset value of over $2.5 billion.
Headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, Shaner Hotel Group is one of the foremost owner-operator companies in the hospitality industry with more than $1 billion invested in 67 hotel properties owned and managed across the United States, Italy, Greece and the Bahamas. Over the past 40 years, the company has also been engaged in both new development and redevelopment of more than 80 hotel projects with leading brand affiliations.
