Have you ever been to Bannerman Castle? This fanciful structure sits on Pollepel Island, a small piece of land on the Hudson River which is often referred to by the castle's name.

Pollepel Island is a 6.5-acre island in the Hudson River located just south of Beacon. It is best known for Bannerman Castle, which was built in 1901 as a military surplus storage facility, but is now a historical landmark owned by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

Movie Night on Bannerman Island offers guests the opportunity to take a cruise to and from the Island, enjoy a tour of the Island when you arrive, and watch a screening of a classic movie while you're there.
