The Scene – Bathed in soft yellow light, the glass-enclosed escalator whisks visitors up to the airy, exposed-brick, atrium-like lobby. From there, guests have the option of having a drink in the outdoor "town square," with its 45-foot-high trees, or eating in the Hudson Cafeteria, which is part Ivy League dining hall, part 1940s Automat. – – The Details – This "island within an island" offers everything you need--and then some. Among its many amenities are a rooftop garden and private park. Fitness facilities include a gym and bathhouse. The business center is…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
The Hudson Bar features a commissioned ceiling mural by artist Francesco Clemente; the bar's seating collection includes authentic Eames and Versace designs.

new york mini break

by burtongq5

great place to stay if you are in New York for a mini break. Whilst the rooms are small.. how big do they need to be when you should be out exploring the city. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

Worst night ever

by jsd251

Following an illness on a business trip, I ended up finding a room at the Hudson.

If I had wanted to have a drink and socialize, the atmosphere would have been perfect, but for a person not feeling well and needing to rest, this was nearly impossible.

First of all, the mattress felt like sleeping on a box spring. Hard, uncomfortable, with coils very noticeable.

Second, the tv service wasn't getting great reception, so everything I wanted to watch was out.

Third, the light near the bed was broken and could not be turned off.

Fourth, being on the 5th floor was as loud as being on the street. The location is fantastic for partying, but not for sleep. Sirens, car horns, hell, trucks parking, they all sounded 20 feet away.

I thought the decor was fantastic, but would prefer a decent mattress to fancy mirrors and lighting.

Very happy with all aspects

by AGraves3

I stayed at the Hudson this past weekend when I was visiting New York from San Bernardino. I visit Nyc twice a year and this was by far my favorite hotel so far. It had a fantastic night scene for a hotel, and the decor was very posh. We sat at the outside terrace for drinks in the afternoon and then went into the main lounge area in the evening before going out for the night-- we loved everything from the lighting to decently sized rooms in comparison to many hotel rooms that I find to be very cramped unless you choose a suite. I will certainly try to book here on my next visit to the city. very enjoyable!

  • Pros: trendy, good scene, great drinks, indoor/outdoor
  • Cons: none really, a little pricey but as to be expected
