A hotel inspired by Bob Dylan's life recently opened in Woodstock, New York -- just a few miles from where the singer used to record on Route 28 with The Band and close to the namesake festival that took place there in 1969, Billboard reports.
Dubbed The Hotel Dylan, the property is the brainchild of owner Paul Covello and noted New Yorker architects Cortney and Robert Novogratz. It features a marquee with a peace sign for the "o" in "Hotel" and boasts two stories of rooms named for musicians associated with the area and the Woodstock festival. Room names include "The Jimi," "The Roadies," "The Van," and "The Hippie Chick" with largest room in the hotel named "The Band Suite."
Every room comes equipped with a Crosley turntable, and the hotel provides vinyl at the desk for guests to use.
Covello described the rooms to Billboard calling them "bohemian sophistication -- a great vibe, clean and crisp."
The space features photographs of musicians who once lived and still live in the area as well as Native American artwork, capturing the history of the area and the native people who considered the mountains as their spiritual home.
Plans for a gastropub are also in the works as well as a music venue for "intimate, unplugged concerts."
The Hotel Dylan opened for business on June 15. Current rates range from $189-$289/night depending on size and time of week.
