# Community-Building Hotels The Graham & Co.'s New York Hotel Brims with Rustic Charm By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-22 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-york-hotel References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/travel/graham-co-hotel-catskills.php) & [thegrahamandco](http://thegrahamandco.com/) The Graham & Co. is a New York hotel that is a hip alternative to staying at an expensive resort or a dated rustic cabin. The hotel is set along beautiful surroundings by mountains and rivers, offering a perfectly serene place to stay. The hotel was put together by four people from NYC with a flair for creativity, bringing new charm to what used to be the Cobblestone Motel. Although the hotel is quite minimal, the furniture and decor is rich with personality. The hotel has a [relaxed camp-like feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dover-george) to it, especially since there are hammocks, [Adirondack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-adirondack-tourism) chairs and a fire pit to lounge by. The owners of The Graham & Co. even host events like on-site flea markets to really build that close-knit sense of community. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Community-building Hotels:** Hotels that offer unique community experiences to guests. - **Rustic Chic Decor:** Decor that is minimal yet rich in personality. - **Nature-inspired Escapes:** Hotels that provide serene and peaceful experiences in the midst of beautiful surroundings. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Opportunities for hotels to create new and unique experiences for guests. - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for interior designers to create minimal yet personality-filled spaces. - **Tourism:** Opportunities for tourism businesses to promote nature-inspired escapes that cater to those seeking peace and relaxation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordably Decorated Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-homegoods.md) - [Earthy Inviting Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mollie-aspen.md) - [Tranquil Old-Charm Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/somewhere-inn.md) - [Rugged Mountainous Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayfinder-bishop.md) - [Rugged Charming Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-longfellow-hotel.md) - [Vibrant Playful Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yowie-hotel.md) - [Natural Surrounding Luxe Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflower-farms.md) - [Sustainable Heritage Evoked Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pilgrm-hotel.md) - [Local Material-Elevated Californian Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lodge-at-marconi.md)
