Beautiful retreat This place is fantastic! A little slice of peace and quiet where you can be one with nature but still have all the amenities you need. The food was amazing so much to choose from and snacks available between meals. It was the perfect setting for a conference focusing on trauma informed care. Our own little sanctuary!

Staff was accommodating to my special dietary needs I have dietary restrictions and shared these concerns with the staff in advance of my stay. They went above and beyond my expectations by accommodating my need for an in-room refrigerator. They also put me in direct contact with Matthew Evans, Senior Food and Beverage Manager, who sought me out at each meal to ensure I had an adequate supply of quality food options given my special dietary restrictions. I was impressed at how many options were available for me.

Executive Retreat The staff, especially Sammy, Melissa, Monique, and all others did an excellent job accommodating our group. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left they were attentive, concise, and meticulous to make sure our stay was memorable. Our group was ~ 125+ individuals and they delivered personal service to each one of us.
The food was very delicious and the selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was rotated regularly during our one week stay, with healthy and vegan options for all dietary needs. We 100% recommend staying here for group, retreats, or other professional events. The classrooms, meeting rooms, forum, and other outdoor balcony and rooms were all well positioned and accessible to the main entrance or lodging areas.
It was an A+ experience. Thank you Sammy and staff for a top shelf and memorable week!!!

Best venue in the North East, US The Learning Center combines great food, world class staff (who provide world class customer service) wonderful country side setting within easy distance from NYC.

GCL Everyone, from reception desk, to kitchen, the staff setting up the rooms and preparing the snacks, drinks and food were professional and efficient.
Zavier making sure all the guests were situated with computer connections/IT/AV and his professional 1:1 assistance with the SVP's was impeccable.
Also, Ana made the reservation process easy. She double checked and reconfirmed everything. She also did a walk through before the guests arrived and she was always checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly.
Thank you Ana, Zavier and Staff.

Michelin quality food, amazing meeting rooms, and great for team building You would not believe the food at the Gerstner Center, it's absolutely amazing. And there's so much of it, available all the time. Guest rooms are basic but very clean and the amenities in the buildings are great for a group -- pool tables, ping pong, lounging space. Our group could not have chosen a better location for our annual meeting. We can't wait to come back!

Exceptional Quality of Service, Accommodation and Dining! We recently stayed at the IBM Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Center for Learning in Armonk. From the outset it was a wonderful customer focused experience.
The staff at the front desk were friendly, helpful and really made us feel welcome.
The accommodation was tastefully designed, extremely comfortable and well provisioned with toiletries, towels and bathrobes.
When it came to the dining, the first class experience just kept on coming. The imaginative menu, focused on health and sustainability, was outstanding. The creativity and quality of local farm to table dishes was on par with the cuisine
of a top notch city restaurant. The meal was accompanied by an excellent selection of well priced high quality wines and the impeccable service by friendly, professional staff all contributed to making this an unforgettable experience.
Overall, this was a five star experience that you rarely find nowadays.
This is a perfect find for a seasoned business traveler or corporate teams who want to give their employees a world class experience.
