  "account": "Business Insider spent two nights at Mohonk Mountain House, an all-inclusive resort that resembles a European castle in New Paltz, New York. The 19th-century lakefront resort features Victorian design and living history. After booking a stay, Joey Hadden was surprised at how it felt like traveling to Europe without leaving the city. Located 90 miles from New York City, Mohonk Mountain House showcases a mix of architectural styles, with its stone, castle-like structure standing out. The oldest surviving section is a five-story Victorian lodge built in 1879, known as the Rock Building. Another European architectural style, a Swiss Chalet, was found around the back of the building, reminiscent of homes seen in the Alps. The hotel's interior features custom Victorian carpet designs and preserved 19th-century wood paneling.",
