Raleigh Hotel (South Fallsburg, New York)

The hotel was established in 1937 as a popular kosher destination mostly catering to Jewish (observant and non-observant) travelers, as well as other religions.

[1] Situated on 200 acres (81 ha) of land in Upstate New York's Borscht Belt, located roughly 90 miles (140 km) from New York City and just outside the village of Monticello, the Raleigh hosted many popular entertainers of the day such as Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Mason, Milton Berle, Totie Fields, Eddie Fisher, Andy Gibb, Chubby Checker, and Rodney Dangerfield.

[2][3] For many decades, Barry Frank was the Master of Ceremonies at the resort.

Raleigh Hotel co-owner George Gilbert died in 1988.

[5] The Raleigh temporarily closed in December 2005 and then reopened the following year under new ownership, as a retreat for mainly Orthodox Jews.
