Fire Erupts at Nevele Hotel in Ellenville

A fire broke out at the historic Nevele Hotel in Ellenville, NY, on Saturday morning, January 11, 2025. Firefighters from multiple local departments quickly responded, containing the blaze to the main lobby area. The incident marks the second fire at the site in less than a year, with authorities suspecting arson due to the abandoned property being frequented by trespassers and lacking utilities. No injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation by the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control. The property, recently purchased by Arrowhead LLC, is under discussion for improved security measures. Local officials expressed gratitude for the quick response that prevented further damage to the historic complex. Shawangunk Journal's Reporter Chris Rowley spoke Radio Catskill's Patricio Robayo about the fire.
