We are in the process of assembling all the historical
information on the original Arlington Hotel. We
don't yet know when it was built, but we do know
that it burned down in the great Hiton fire of 1965.
The owner at that time decided to rebuild just the
dining room and coctail lounge in what is the current
Arlington Dining Room building at 4 Main Street
in Hilton, New York.
The
Arlington Hotel was the place where fruit buyers
from all over the country stayed when they came
to inspect and bid for Hilton's bountiful fruit
and vegetable harvests. Hilton has a long standing
heritage of reverence for fresh fruits, produce,
and other food ingredients. This tradition of fresh
ingredients and scratch cooking lives on at The
Arlington Dining Room.

you have any information or photographs to contribute
