Hudson, A Morgans Original - New York, NY

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 807 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.
