The Urban Cowboy Tent at Collective Retreats deepens the partnership with hospitality firm Dovetail + Co after their shared success at Urban Cowboy Lodge in the Catskills. The tent immerses guests in a nautical-inspired camping experience where rustic luxury meets a reimagined American heritage aesthetic in the middle of the New York City Harbor.
Found objects, including antique artwork, repurposed boat oars and a vintage radio displayed as sculptural accents, add a sense of history, character and storytelling to the space. Open now through the end of November, the tent will return to Collective Retreats for the 2027 season.
“The Urban Cowboy Tent at Collective Retreats, like Urban Cowboy Lodge, embodies the kind of unexpected hospitality experiences we strive to create at Dovetail + Co: immersive destinations that invite guests to experience a place in an entirely new way,” said Phil Hospod, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dovetail + Co. “By bringing together Urban Cowboy’s distinctive aesthetic with the natural setting and unique character of Collective Retreats Governors Island, we’ve created an experience that celebrates both brands and encourages connection, discovery and memorable stays.”
