Hudson Hotel, New York

General Information

Hudson is located on the west side of midtown Manhattan, across from Columbus Circle and Central Park West, and within walking distance to the midtown business, Times Square, Broadway Theaters and great shopping and nightlife. Its design includes chartreuse-lit escalators that sweep guests to a 40-foot high ivy-covered lobby, an enormous indoor/outdoor private park and a ceiling fresco by world-famous painter Francesco Clemente. Hudson is the next generation of Cheap Chic – stylish, democratic, affordable, young at heart and utterly cool.

Rooms & Accommodation

Inspired by the romance of ocean travel, and reminiscent of a private cabin on an upscale yacht, Hudson’s 1000 guest rooms – most with gorgeous views of the Private Park – have walls richly paneled in imported African wood, flowing white curtains, sleek stainless steel tables, crisp white linens, brass-riveted furniture and Starck’s modern take on the classic U.S. Naval chair. Bedside lamps with allegorical images designed by renowned painter Francesco Clemente lend a spirit of dreamlike fantasy to the room.
Most guestrooms have gorgeous views of the Private Park, and many have views of Central Park.
