Carrollcliffe, also known as Axe Castle or Castle Hotel & Spa, is a building in Tarrytown, New York which was constructed to resemble a European castle, with crenellated towers. It was built in two stages between 1897 and 1910 as the residence of General Howard Carroll, a newspaperman and playwright, to a design by the architect Henry Franklin Kilburn.
Beginning in 1941, it served for decades as the headquarters of the financial firm Axe-Houghton Management.
In 2003, Elite Hotels, a limited liability company formed by C. Dean Metropoulos, bought the property, then called The Castle at Tarrytown, for $10.9 million, according to a newspaper article at the time, which described it as "a 31-room inn on 10.1 acres". It is now a hotel and spa.
