First look: This new Catskills hotel is raising the bar for hospitality and amenities

It was, by all accounts, snowing much harder than anyone expected. Heavy flakes were swiftly sticking to the road and turning the mountainous, undulating landscape into a glittering, fairy tale rendering. It was beautiful, but my friend and I were both relieved when we finally made it to the entrance of Kenoza Hall, a new 22-room boutique hotel that opened in the Catskills over the summer.
