Fodor's Review:

Elegant accommodations and ethereal Hudson River views ennoble this imposing brick-and-granite hotel on the grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point. (You pass through two security checkpoints on your way to the hotel, which has long housed military officers and their guests.) Sleek marble floors, iron chandeliers, and portraits of military leaders bedeck the main lobby; dark, regal furnishings and prints of river scenes adorn guest rooms. Request an odd-numbered room for river vistas or an even-numbered room for commander's-eye views of the academy. The restaurant lures crowds to its Sunday champagne brunch buffet ($26 prix fixe); pastries, salads, pastas, quiches, and even omelet, waffle, and beef-carving stations amount to a veritable food orgy. In summer, angle for a table on the outdoor terrace, where you can savor the panoramic Hudson River views. Dinner specialties ($$-$$$) include rack of lamb, stuffed shrimp, and the house pasta dish, fettuccine with artichokes, black olives, and tomatoes. Restaurant reservations are essential.
