Walking into the Hudson is like stepping into a quixotic dream. The escalator, lit with a green glow, carries you to the lobby where natural light is decanted through a tangle of vines covering the glass ceiling. Behind the desk, light pours from the massive central garden where luxurious couches are surrounded by flora. We may be in hotel heaven.
While the hotel's standard rooms are beautiful, they aren't very spacious. These come with platform beds and designer touches such as chrome desks and artistic lamps. Bathrooms are spacious and sparkling (many are wheelchair accessible).
But it's the shared spaces that truly distinguish the Hudson. The chic Hudson Bar draws a crowd and for good reason: the low, frescoed ceiling and luxurious white sofas have undeniable posh appeal. In the Library Bar, bookshelves line the soaring walls above a wraparound catwalk. Below, a crackling fire burns in the fireplace while guests lounge on large leather couches. With its chess tables and bookish atmosphere, the space is Oxford-esque. And if that's not enough bar for you, there are two in the garden and one in the cafeteria.
We'd be fibbing if we said the Hudson boasts Cheapo prices year-round. However, rates fluctuate frequently, sometimes dipping below $200.
