From hilltop castles to high-rise hotels, Westchester stands tall in the regional group marketplace.
“Given the County’s proximity to New York City and it’s ‘convenient-from-anywhere’ location, Westchester has fast become a go-to destination for meetings and events,” said Natasha Caputo, director of the Westchester County Tourism & Film Office. “Catering to most group sizes, the atmosphere and slower pace provide a literal breath of fresh air, with ample opportunities for inspired creativity.”
