Alumnae House, The Inn at Vassar College

Alumnae House is a guest house located in the historic Hudson Valley across the street from Vassar College. The building serves as headquarters for the Alumnae & Alumni of Vassar College, in addition to providing overnight accommodations to members of the Vassar College community, including prospective students.
Alumnae House is a gracious venue for weddings and other catered events. Catering space may be reserved by the general public.
Gifted to the college in 1924 by Vassar alumnae sisters, Blanche Ferry Hooker (1894) and Queene Ferry Coonley (1896) the building is a classic example of American-Tudor style architecture. Alumnae House is often called the “House of a Thousand Treasures” because most of the contents were donated or made possible by Vassar alumnae/i.
Over the past 80 years, many guests have enjoyed our one-of-a-kind atmosphere which includes guest rooms embellished with a mix of old world fabrics, vintage lighting artwork and contemporary bedding. Jeffrey Soulges '84, a member of the Alumnae House Committee, volunteered his services to oversee the redecoration of the guest rooms in 2008. Jeffrey is the owner of Jeffrey Dean Ltd., an interior design firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In January 2009, Gigi Hudson Valley became the exclusive caterer at Alumnae House. Gigi's restaurant in Rhinebeck, New York, which opened in 2001, is one of the area's top restaurants and caterers. Gigi's dishes highlight the bounty of the farms, gardens, and artisans of the Hudson Valley. Although the Alumnae House pub is not currently open, catering is available for events at the Alumnae House. Please contact the Alumnae House Manager for more information.
