Opened in 2000, the lively upscale Hudson Hotel is a hip boutique property in Midtown Manhattan, a four-minute walk to Central Park. While the property underwent extensive renovations to achieve its cool current vibe, it embraces several elements from the original 1929 construction to retain an industrial-chic air, including exposed brick and ductwork. Snug rooms are outfitted with retro-chic decor selected by French designer Philippe Starck, and include high-end amenities. The hotel serves as the flagship location of the cool Umami Burger franchise, and the Library Bar offers a cozy setting for billiards and handcrafted cocktails. Seasonal outdoor spaces include a charming garden area and a 15th-floor rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. There’s a modern gym in the basement, though there’s no pool or spa. The nearby Dream Midtown is a similar alternative, with a two-story rooftop bar and an Italian restaurant -- but doesn't have a pesky urban resort fee.
