Urban adventure, daredevil design, and true affordability meet in Hudson, the ultimate lifestyle hotel for the 21st century. Close to Central Park and the theater district, Hudson is a brilliant reflection of the boldness and diversity of the city - the quintessential New York hotel. Philippe Starck's design includes chartreuse-lit escalators that sweep guests to a 40-foot high ivy-covered lobby, an enormous indoor/outdoor Private Park and a ceiling fresco by world-famous painter Francesco Clemente. Hudson is the next generation of Cheap Chic - stylish, democratic, affordable, young at heart and utterly cool. Inspired by the romance of ocean travel, and reminiscent of a private cabin on an upscale yacht, Hudson's guestrooms, most with gorgeous views of the Private Park, have 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 lend a spirit of dreamlike fantasy to the room. The Hudson's location, near Columbus Circle, is easy walking distance to Lincoln Center, Central Park and the Theatre District. The hotel is minutes to fine dining, great shopping, entertainment and nightlife. ## Recreation 24 hour fitness center Lobby bar Restaurant/cafeteria Refreshment lounge on every floor Rooftop solarium and conservatory Library filled with antique volumes, special books and periodicals, a cognac and brandy bar, fireplace, antique billiard table, computers with high speed internet access
