General Information:
Created by Philippe Starck, the Hudson is a block from the Time Warner Center's shops and
restaurants, two blocks from Central Park, and approximately 10 miles west of LaGuardia
Airport. This location is also five blocks from Lincoln Center, nine blocks from the Museum of
Modern Art, 12 blocks from Rockefeller Center, 15 blocks from Times Square, two miles from the
United Nations and Chelsea, four miles from the Lower East Side and Wall Street, and 16 miles
from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Hotel amenities include the chartreuse-lit escalators, 40-foot-high ivy-covered lobby, large
indoor/outdoor Private Park, and ceiling fresco by world-famous painter, Francesco Clemente.
Hudson Cafeteria is inspired in equal parts by an Ivy League dining hall, eat-in kitchen, and
1940s automat. It has oversized communal wood tables and benches, stained glass windows, and
working cupboards stocked, pantry style, with the kitchen's dishes, cups, and utensils. Hudson
Bar has a glass floor lit from beneath and a hand-painted ceiling by Francesco Clemente.
All of Hudson's 1000 rooms feature walls paneled in imported African wood, stainless steel
tables, brass-riveted furniture, wireless Internet access, and bedside lamps with allegorical
images designed by renowned painter, Francesco Clemente. Rooms are inspired by the romance of
ocean travel and are reminiscent of a private cabin on an upscale yacht.
