Hudson Hotel

The Hudson Hotel calls itself "cool" and although recognizing that is the antithesis of cool, they may be right. The innovative vision of design impresario Philippe Starck inspires the stylishly modern decor, with small yet well-equipped rooms that cram shower and bed into extremely close quarters. You will be rewarded with a divine location, just steps from Central Park and the Lincoln Centre. The in-house Hudson Common is a burger and beer hall and a great place to catch the game or eat some highly inventive chicken wings. During the winter, go to the ski-resort themed bar Hudson Lodge, complete with sheep skinned pillows.
