Legoland Hotel is the best way to do the Hudson Valley’s new theme park

Talk about making an entrance.

At the new Legoland Hotel in Goshen, NY, guests make their way to reception by passing under a colorful tower of blocks, a huge green dragon staring down at them from within. The monstrous entry is one of a number of unique features at the new 250-room lodging that debuts this weekend and is the final piece of the massive, 500-acre Legoland New York Resort, which opened its theme park element this past May. If you’re looking for a last-minute family getaway, however, this isn’t it. A hotel rep said they’re already booked up through the end of the month.
