For over a century, the famed estate of Joseph and Eliza Howland, known as “Tioronda,” has been a place of healing – a sanctuary for physical and mental wellness in a variety of forms – for many notable individuals. The name “Tioronda” came from the Native American word describing the “meeting of the waters” or the convergence of Fishkill Creek and the Hudson River, which perfectly represents the truly serene setting of the estate featuring waterfalls, rivers, ponds, meadows, and forests.

​

Uninhabited for over 20 years, it is now time for Mirbeau, a celebrated hospitality and wellness brand, to bring its unique approach to this historic use to the property; reimagining it in a modern, elegant form. Mirbeau Inn & Spa at the former Howland Estate in Beacon, New York will extend the brand’s vision by providing a gracious sanctuary, restful ambiance, and interpretation of classic pleasures to balance our hectic modern lifestyles.

​

The unique nature of the Beacon property will marry the Gothic Revival architecture of the existing historic mansion with Mirbeau’s French-inspired concept of hospitality. Mirbeau Inn & Spa Beacon will have the residential feeling of a romantic French-country manor house complete with the signature Mirbeau Ponds and Gardens patterned after the Monet Pond Gardens at Giverny outside of Paris.

​

Located only 2 miles from the Beacon Train Station, a short drive from New York City, Albany, and the regional communities of the Hudson Valley, Mirbeau Inn & Spa Beacon will offer guests a relaxing retreat where they can be truly cared for that feels far, far away, even though they may only be a short drive from home.
