The Beekman Arms, America's oldest continuously operated hotel, is located in the center of the Village of Rhinebeck in the historic Hudson Valley. The Tavern at The Beekman Arms is in the Hotel, a Colonial Tavern and fine dining venue with multiple dining rooms. We also hold events and weddings in our banquet space and the lawn of the Delamater Inn. Pleasantly old-fashioned, yet unobtrusively modern. If you are professional, detail orientated, driven, and passionate about creating awe-inspiring experiences for guests and employees, we would love to meet you.
