Kerzner International has signed its second One&Only resort and community of Private Homes in the United States. Partnering with Nolan Reynolds International and the Culinary Institute of America, this latest project will be located in Hyde Park in the Hudson River Valley of New York state, and is earmarked to open in 2028.The new project complements One&Only Moonlight Basin, which is preparing to debut in Montana in November this year.“Through our portfolio of One&Only resorts, Kerzner International continues unlocking destinations globally, redefining the ultraluxury experience in some of the world’s most inspiring locations. We are thrilled to announce our second One& Only destination in the United States,” said Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner.“One&Only offers guests meaningful, transformative experiences that are deeply connected to nature, culture and wellbeing. Hudson River Valley offers an incredible opportunity to create another truly unique and exceptional One&Only experience in North America.”
A 90-minute drive from New York City and a 20-minute drive to the cultural offerings of Rhinebeck, the wellness-driven resort will be developed within the Culinary Institute of America (“CIA” )campus in Hyde Park, New York, on a 21-acre site. An idyllic retreat steeped in natural splendour and history, Hyde Park radiates the authentic American small-town charm.“We are excited to work together with Nolan Reynolds International and Culinary Institute of America to expand further into North America,” remarked Juan Aguilar, President of Real Estate, Kerzner. “Built on shared values of sustainable design and community engagement, our partnership solidifies the foundation for continued success and legacy expansion in the United States.”Hyde Park’s storied history and culture will be seamlessly interwoven within the resort’s architectural designs. The framework of the spaces will reflect the natural elements of its rustic surroundings. As with every One&Only resort, immersive one-off experiences will be created and will leverage its partnership with the Culinary Institute of America. The resort will take advantage of its prime location next to a global gastronomic destination while showcasing the region’s natural bounty and cultural richness.
