1886年9月17日，铁路巨头爱德华.亨利.哈里曼以52500美元的价格拍买下了7863英亩的彼得.帕罗特家族的产业。到20世纪初，哈里曼家族已拥有该地区40,000英亩的土地。1905年起，哈里曼雇佣了纽约公立图书馆的著名建筑师卡尔雷尔和海斯廷斯为其设计庄园（雅顿庄园），采用美国本土材料，雇佣美国工人，该庄园于1909年竣工。
雅顿庄园，这座拥有100,000平方英尺的优美宅邸坐落于纽约州哈里曼1300英尺高的奥拉马山上，距离曼哈顿市中心区40英里。这座独特的富含文化历史底蕴，环境优美的庄园，被面积为110000英亩帕里萨斯洲际公园包围，四周环绕着令人惊叹的森林和私人湖泊美景。
1915年，哈里曼的儿子W.艾夫里尔.哈里曼---前纽约州长及美国商务部长，在其父去世后，从他的母亲—当时全美最富有的女性那里继承这座庄园。第二次世界大战时，该庄园被美国海军占用。而后，W.艾夫里尔.哈里曼将该庄园赠予哥伦比亚大学，1950年，前总统德怀特.D.艾森豪威尔在此举办了著名的美国国内及外交政策智库大会。1966年，雅顿庄园成为了美国一座国家级历史遗迹。
一百多年来，雅顿庄园历经沧桑，愈发沉静深邃。自2011年起，upsky集团便开始传承并发扬其丰厚的历史文化底蕴和宝贵的精神财富。目前，upsky集团作为一个国际化、多元化的机构，业务范围涉及科技、教育、自然保护以及商业等领域。其拥有和经营的酒店及度假村已横跨太平洋，从纽约到上海、从旧金山到海滨城市北海都可以看到upsky酒店管理集团的身影。她致力于全球度假酒店公寓及度假村的专业化运营管理，期待将雅顿庄园的积淀和精髓传遍世界各个角落，为每一位客人带来无以伦比的体验和感受。
On September 17, 1886, railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman bought at auction the 7,863-acre Peter Parrott family estate for$52,500. By the early nineteen hundreds the Harriman family owned 40,000 acres in the area. Harriman hired Carrere and Hastings, the famous architects of New York Public Library, to design a home (Arden House),which was begun in 1905 and completed in 1909 solely with American products and American workmen. An elegant 100,000 square foot mansion set atop the 1,300-foot-Mount Orama in Harriman, New York, Arden House is located within 40 miles of midtown Manhattan. This unique cultural, historic and environmental asset is surrounded by the 110,000-acre Palisades Interstate Park with breathtaking views, rolling forests and private lakes.
In 1915, Harriman's son, W. Averell Harriman (former New York governor and Secretary of Commerce of the US), was given the house by his widowed mother, then the richest women in the US. Following use by the Navy in World War II, W. Averell Harriman donated the house to Columbia University to host the prestigious domestic and foreign policy think tank American Assembly founded by former President Dwight D.Eisenhower in 1950. Arden House became a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
Inheriting the rich history of Arden House Since 2011, Upsky Group, an international multifunctional organization covering technology, education,natural conservation, and business, is to extend the merits of Arden House and create another round of brightness of Arden House.
As an extension of Arden House’s rich culture and hospitality, Upsky Hotels & Resorts owns and operates hotels and resorts across the pacific from New York to Shanghai and from San Francisco to South China.
