Depiction of the Grand Hotel, Highmount, N. Y. on a postcard

The Grand Hotel was a hotel located in Highmount, New York. It was built by the Ulster and Delaware Railroad in 1881 and closed in 1966. J. A. Wood was the building's architect.

Sitting on the side of Monka Hill, it had 418 rooms overlooking the Big Indian Valley towards Slide Mountain.[1]

The railroad had chosen the scenic spot which was up the hill from their line and created a railroad station of the same name to feed both the hotel and the railroad with business.
