What is known today as The Bruce Estate, called Woodlands was once an enchanting, two farm private property. In those olden days Long Island's Gold Coast was a place of tranquility and seclusion in New York. People preferred to have their own farm houses and country homes amidst lush green landscape. In line with the tradition, a prominent corporate attorney, Victor Morawetz, purchased a large 120 acres piece of land in Woodbury and built his own estate in 1918.
Preserving the traditional elegance and ambiance of an earlier era, the place was turned into a modern hotel with magnificent grandeur. The exquisite French doors, glowing chandeliers, high vaulted ceilings of the Grand Ballroom, the marble tiled floors, the grand staircase and the surrounding fabulous gardens are a testimony of the architects' skillfulness. The Woodlands is a popular venue for the celebration of special occasions like weddings, Bat/Bar Mitzvahs, corporate events and fund raisers, with the ability to accommodate up to 350 guests.
