Guest Services, Inc. Appointed as Management Company for Bear Mountain Inn & Conference Center in Bear Mountain, New York
Fairfax, VA (December 2008) -- Guest Services, Inc. (GSI), a private hospitality company dedicated to excellence in food, hotel, resort and recreation services, is proud to announce the addition of Bear Mountain Inn and Conference Center nestled in the Bear Mountain State Park in Bear Mountain, New York to its impressive list of hotel and resort contract management accounts.
Overlooking the Hudson River Valley and Hessian Lake, Bear Mountain Inn and Conference Center is located 45 miles north of New York City in the Hudson Highlands. The historic Inn was built in 1915 by park employees who incorporated native building materials found onsite. The three story stone structure features timber framing, paneling and ceilings, massive stone fireplaces, and hand-crafted fixtures of iron and native birch.
In coordination with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, Guest Services will complete the extensive four-year renovations bringing the property in line with current environmental standards while keeping with the rustic feel and design of the property. The first phase of the renovations will focus on opening the Inn's first floor to include the Hiker's Lounge, Hudson Valley store, lobby and catering space with completion slated for early spring 2009. Thirteen suites, a full-service restaurant and lounge and additional catering space will be completed on the second and third floors. Renovations will extend to the A.K. Morgan Overlook Lodge with 24 guest rooms and catering space, the four 6-room stone lodges with lake views and fireplaces, the picnic pavilion, Stand 10 and the Cliff House.
Michael Morris has been appointed as General Manager of the Bear Mountain Inn Complex, after previously serving at other high profile Guest Services properties.
Bear Mountain State Park is traditionally a day-use park with picnic groves, rowboat docks, a swimming pool and bathhouse, nature trails, an ice-skating rink, basketball court, Trailside Museums and Zoo, Iona Island Estuarine Reserve and Bird Refuge, Perkins Tower, and the Merry-Go-Round and pavilion. After the completion of renovations to the lodges, Bear Mountain State Park will be an ideal location for corporate retreats, family reunions, team building events and romantic getaways. The spectacular views from the catering facilities make the Bear Mountain Inn Complex an ideal spot for weddings and other special events.
