| Hudson Hotel 356 W. 58th Street in New York City. Hotel Reservations, Amenities and Map. |
The insanely popular Hudson Bar combines a glass floor lit from beneath with space-age furniture in what one reviewer called a cross between Louis XV and "2001: A Space Odyssey.". The hotel also offers refreshment lounges on all floors and fully-stocked fitness facility with trainers. What's more, the lobby's focal point is Private Park's 45-foot trees, ivy-covered walls and modern garden furniture, a microcosm of Central Park. Guests also can stroll to nearby museums or drop wads of money shopping along Fifth Avenue. Where else could out-of-towners find a Manhattan restaurant inspired by an Ivy League dining and a 1940s automat that specializes in everything from macaroni and cheese to phad thai?. But more than just location, this hotel affords décor aficionados what the New York Times called "an aesthetic of strangeness.". Smallish guests rooms do not scrimp on comfort or, like the overall hotel, design. The hip Hudson Hotel on the Upper West Side is quite convenient to Central Park, the bright lights of Broadway, Lincoln Center, glitzy restaurants, and all other things Manhattan. For guests looking for something truly funky in an oh-so- Manhattan location, then the Hudson fits the bill, even with its "Vertigo" escalators. Offering gorgeous views of the Private Park or Hudson River, they are decorated with imported African-mahogany walls, flowing white curtains, sleek steel tables, white Egyptian cotton sheets, brass-riveted furniture, lamps with Clemente's allegorical images, and usual amenities. Not to be outdone, the imaginative designs spill into the hotel's Hudson Cafeteria, a trendy spot for comfort-food-with-a-twist dining, featuring an open kitchen and communal wood tables and benches. Phillipe Starck's chartreuse- lit escalators sweep guests to a 40-foot high, ivy- covered lobby with ceiling fresco painted by the famed Francesco Clemente.
