The Hudson Hotel is the ultimate lifestyle hotel in Manhattan. Philippe Starck’s bold and diverse design includes chartreuse lit escalators that lead guests to a 40 foot high ivy clad lobby, a huge indoor/outdoor private park and a ceiling fresco by world-famous painter Francesco Clemente. The hotel’s 1000 guestrooms are inspired by the romance of ocean travel, and reminiscent of a private cabin on an upscale yacht. Most have gorgeous views of the Private Park and 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 and lend a spirit of dreamlike fantasy to the room.

Location and Resort
The Hudson Hotel is located on the west side of midtown Manhattan, across from Columbus Circle and Central Park West, and within walking distance of the midtown business area, Times Square, the Broadway Theaters and great shopping and nightlife. The midtown area is a great location for a New York City break. In the centre of the elevated hotel’s lobby, the private park has towering 45-foot trees, ivy-covered walls, and an inspired assortment of antique and modern garden furniture. The area has heaters and a glass roof and provides a great place for guests to eat, drink, relax and enjoy the outdoors while removed from the bustle of the city below.
Swimming Pools
The hotel does not have a swimming pool.
Eating and Drinking
The Hudson Cafeteria is a soaring and dramatic, yet warm and intimate space with oversized communal wood tables and benches, stained glass windows, and enormous working cupboards stocked, pantry style, with the kitchen’s dishes, cups, and utensils. Under the direction of renowned restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, the acclaimed menu features comfort food served with a modern twist. The Hudson Bar was one of New York's hottest nightspots from the moment it opened. It is a dazzling venue decorated in a riotous collection of styles. It features a glass floor lit from beneath, a hand painted ceiling by world-renowned artist Francesco Clemente, and furniture design that looks like Louis XV meets 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the perfect place for drinks, lively conversation, people-watching, and experiencing the undeniable excitement of New York.
