: DESTINATION
Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Center for Learning in Armonk
Westchester’s prime location is a major draw: just north
of New York City, but a glorious escape from the big-city grind. We’re easily accessible via major highways — including I-87 and I-95
— and the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge; home to Westchester County Airport, with dozens of daily flights, and close to the other major NYC metro airports; and served seamlessly via public transit by three Metro-North Railroad lines plus Amtrak service at New Rochelle, Yonkers, and Croton-Harmon.
Westchester boasts plentiful event venues, conference centers, and meeting spaces. Whether you’re hosting a corporate conference, an off-site team
gathering, a trade show, or a social event, you’ll find
a wide range of unique, highly-rated facilities to suit your needs.
An actual castle, a former convent, and a 1790 farmhouse are just a few examples of Westchester’s diverse hotel options. Need a global brand equipped with top-notch service and the latest technology and amenities for your event? We have that, too — plus the white- glove meeting-planning assistance you expect when putting together an important function.
Foodies rejoice! Westchester’s booming culinary scene —
