Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Fulton offers a variety of ways to shape your stay: architectural history at the Pratt House, several art forms at the CNY Arts Center, and themes related to Lake Neatahwanta, fishing and wildlife. When planning, it’s worth first considering what you’d like to focus on during your visit. Architecture and art lead to different discoveries than an interest in nature or community events. When looking for a hotel in Fulton, you can first decide whether architectural history and art, or outdoor and nature-related activities, should shape your stay.

Culture and Architectural History

The Pratt House offers a concrete starting point for exploring Fulton’s architectural history. It was built of brick in the formal Italianate style in 1861 by John Wells Pratt and his wife, Harriet. The specific year, building material and style designation offer different points of reference for viewing the building from a historical and architectural perspective. The Pratt House is also the headquarters of Friends of History in Fulton. This connection adds an institutional dimension to its architectural history.

The CNY Arts Center complements this historical focus with a broad range of art forms. In Fulton, it offers studio visual arts, film arts, performing arts, culinary arts and writing arts. The selection therefore extends beyond a single genre: visual and performing arts sit alongside culinary arts and writing. If culture is a factor in choosing your stay, these different fields can help you pinpoint your interests.

One specific example of a cultural event is the annual Parade of Trees by Friends of History in Fulton. In 2025, it was on display from December 1 to 12 at the John Wells Pratt House Museum. These dates refer to that year’s edition.

Waterfront Spots, Wildlife and Trails

Bullhead Point, on Lake Neatahwanta, is a popular spot for fishing and community events. The former Sharp’s Pond is rich in birds and other wildlife. These nature-related places offer different experiences: Bullhead Point combines the lake, fishing and community events, while wildlife takes center stage at the former Sharp’s Pond.

Canal Park Marina is located on South First Street by Lock 3; Veterans’ Park features a Veterans Memorial. A clearly located marina and a memorial site add to the range of places to explore.

The VanBuren Fitness Trail is a half-mile fitness and walking trail. Fulton Footpaths takes a different approach: the initiative was launched to better define and create recreational routes in the city and make aesthetic improvements. These offer different kinds of information for planning: the VanBuren Fitness Trail has a specific length, while Fulton Footpaths describes goals for recreational trails and the cityscape.
