Before The Time Nyack opened on the site of a former factory (that for a time became artist studios and jam space for local bands), the Village of Nyack didn't have any four or five star lodging options. When plans were announced to build a hotel based on the same lifestyle model used for The Time's first namesake property in Times Square, locals were skeptical of a Manhattan formula and requisite price tag. They wondered how a hotel of that caliber would be viable in a small historic town known for its homegrown boutique shopping and vibrant restaurant scene, mercifully devoid of cookie cutter national chains.
Now nearly a year after its grand opening, The Time Nyack has exceeded expectations not only for rooms that fill a luxury niche, but also for the more than 4,000 square feet of flexible onsite event space perfect for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and conferences. All 133 loft-style rooms pay homage to the structure and design of the factory that once occupied this site. Brick walls, exposed duct work, ceilings ranging between 12 and 20 feet high, large industrial-style windows that flood living spaces in sunlight, and fourth floor suites with private terraces overlooking the Hudson River create a carefree and creative ambiance.
You also get perks like access to the rooftop pool and bar, as well as BV's Grill & Lounge, an outpost of the famed Bobby Vann's Steakhouse empire on the ground floor. Renowned for first-class service, dining here begins in the Grill’s Lounge & Bar with one of their specialty cocktails like a tasty Purple Rain. After your drink, head over to the dining room, which quickly expands with additional outdoor seating during warmer weather via overhead roller doors leading to the patio and outside bar.
BV's openers—like a Steakhouse Wedge salad served with a creamy blue cheese dressing or oysters on the half shell— provide the perfect segue to main courses like 28-day dry-aged NY strip sirloin, horseradish crusted salmon, and Colorado lamb chops paired with sides of Brussels sprouts, corn off the cob, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. Housemade desserts like chocolate mousse truffle cake and tiramisu offer the perfect finish.
“Having grown up in Nyack, I learned the importance of quality local ingredients at a very young age,” says Executive Chef Joseph Walsh. “It’s a real honor for me, both personally and professionally, to be able to bring classic New York City steakhouse cuisine to my hometown, but with a Hudson Valley twist.”
While the craft beer and cocktail list pays tribute to the restaurant’s New York roots, their wine list draws from a wide array of cutting-edge winemakers, as well as classic producers from around the globe. In the late afternoon, the rooftop bar, Top of the Time, beckons you skyward for some sampling.
Gallery space in common areas and room walls honor the property's artistic past, as well as the area's vibrant art community, displaying bold, process-oriented work by emerging and established artists curated by Philippe Hoerle-Guggenheim. During summer, the lounge and pool deck hosts pool parties with DJs and Live Nation music performances.
Cultivating a symbiotic relationship with the community's vibrancy, The Time Nyack offers packages like the Taste of Nyack, which includes reservations at local favorites like Strawberry Place and the Art Café. Just a 10 minute walk down Main Street puts you within walking distance of nearly 20 restaurants, the Edward Hopper House, street fairs, historic house tours, monthly First Friday Arts events, and the second largest Halloween parade in the tri-state area.
