Located just 2.5 miles from the Poughkeepsie entrance to Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park on Parker Avenue, the brand-new Inn At Bellefield in Hyde Park, New York has been named the official hotel partner of the Friends of the Walkway nonprofit organization.

Centrally located in the mid-Hudson Valley – a world-class hospitality and culinary destination – the Inn at Bellefield is an all-suite hotel with fully equipped kitchens, plush beds with crisp linen, separate living rooms, and complimentary breakfast with seasonal offerings every morning. It sits directly across from The Culinary Institute of America, and guests can experience upscale service and indulge in signature local wine, craft beer, and more at the Inn at Bellefield’s on-site lounge called The Storyteller. 

Guests booking a stay over Independence Day are invited to use promo code E3109 when booking to receive a special Friends of the Walkway discounted rate and two free tickets to the July 4^th Fireworks Spectacular. Free tickets are limited and available only while supplies last.

“We’re excited to name the Inn At Bellefield as the official hotel partner of the Friends of the Walkway,” said Lori Robertson, Executive Director, Friends of the Walkway nonprofit organization. “Walkway Over the Hudson connects all there is to see and do in the Hudson Valley, which certainly requires more than a day. Now everyone can extend their stay with a room at the Inn At Bellefield and really experience all our region has to offer.”

On Thursday, July 4, Walkway Over the Hudson will open at 7 p.m. for ticket holders to enjoy an unobstructed view of the City of Poughkeepsie fireworks display.  Spend the evening with friends and family taking in amazing twilight views 212 feet above the Hudson River before seeing the fireworks launch at eye level. All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Walkway. For complete event information, visit walkway.org/fireworks.

The support of the Inn At Bellefield will directly benefit beloved Walkway events, programs, volunteers, and more. It stands as a leading example of how dedicated community members can partner with the Friends of the Walkway to positively impact the more than 625,000 people that cross the span each year.  For additional information about available opportunities, visit walkway.org/partnership.
