The Best Romantic Getaway in Upstate New York: Belhurst Castle
Belhurst Castle creates the perfect setting for a romantic getaway in Upstate New York, as it sits on the shores of Seneca Lake in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes wine region.

Below, you’ll find all of the best ways to treat you and yours to the best romantic getaway in Upstate New York.
Chambers in the Castle
The castle took four years to build in 1885, with materials imported from Europe and Medina, New York. Each of the 11 guestrooms is architecturally unique and named after a piece of Belhurt Castle’s past. The castle is full of artwork, oriental rugs, and antique furnishing that will make you feel like you’re in another era. There are beautiful gas fireplaces and a complimentary wine spigot for you to enjoy and make a toast to the start of your romantic getaway in Upstate New York.
In addition to the chambers in the castle, you can also stay in the Vinifera Inn, another hotel on the estate. This 2003 addition to the historic Belhurt Castle hosts 20 modern guest rooms, where you’ll find picturesque views of Seneca Lake. These outstanding rooms make for the perfect romantic getaway, as each room includes a king-size bed, Jacuzzi, a fireplace, and walk-in showers.
The third and final hotel, part of the estate, is White Springs Manor. This hotel hosts 12 guest rooms, just two miles west of the castle, and a cottage located adjacent to the property. In White Springs Manor, you’ll find peace and serenity as you relax with a glass of wine with your special someone, basking in the breathtaking views of the Seneca Lake Valley.
