![]() The team at the hotel worked with local craftsmen to create an unexpected feel an old-world bohemian glamour that fuses a worldly design ethos shaped by decades of travel, where a sixth-generation master furniture restorer has rebuilt original fireplace mantles, antiques and custom furniture where a local artist has painted an ethereal mural inspired by Hudson Valley landscape. “We knew we could execute The Maker concept in Hudson because the area was so rich with artisans, history and design, and it was the perfect location,” explains Lev Glazman. Its rooms range from the Maker Studios to Terrace Lofts, Two Bedroom Suites to a Corner Studio, and each are inviting sanctuaries filled with vintage and antique pieces works of art, lush plants, and amenities including full-size Fresh beauty products, a gourmet mini-bar, a Zen Haven organic mattress, and the ‘Eye-Opener Service’ an early morning wake-up call complete with freshly made coffee and pastries. The cocktail menu, meanwhile, is inspired by the same eras as the décor, featuring historic mixes such as the gin-based Hanky Panky, created at The American Bar at The Savoy in 1903 ($15/£11).Moving away from a standardised design, the hotel blends styles of 19th century industrial, la belle époque, art deco and mid-century modern to arrive at its own distinctive aesthetic. ![]() Specialities include ricotta with persimmon, hazelnut and honey ($16/£11.50), pork chop with braised collard greens ($36/£26) and duck frites ($31/£23). The restaurant, centred around a glass conservatory filled with foliage, and open Thursday-Sunday, serves local meat, fish and vegetables, with the condiments and butter as well as breads all made in-house. ![]() Breakfast (not included) also includes croissants (from $3.50/£2.50) and hot sandwiches, such as fried chicken ($15/£11) and grilled cheese with fig jam ($11/£8). Drinks service could be a little quicker, but the resulting cocktails are worth the wait.ĭuring the property’s extensive remodelling, The Maker team first opened Bartlett House, a bakery and restaurant nearby, whose kitchen now provides baked goods to the hotel’s genteel, jazz-filled, Parisian-style café the cherry cornmeal scone ($4.50/£3.30) is locally and rightly renowned. Staff service is attentive, relaxed and friendly, from those behind the front desk – which is actually an elegant antique table at one end of the café – to the well-informed waiting staff in the restaurant and library. While the restaurant, the streetside café and the low-lit, atmospheric lounge bar (the latter located in the old carriage house), are all open to the public, the Library is reserved for hotel guests only, to eat, drink, or browse the collection of books curated in conjunction with New York’s fames Strand Bookstore. Covering 4,800 square feet, with retro equipment such as horses and silk ropes and rings, as well as contemporary, cutting-edge machines, the vast mirrored space also includes two hammams and a Pilates studio. It also has a gym that’s closer to a circus performance space than the sort of dark, cramped fitness centre many hotels guests are used to. It's the only hotel in town with a swimming pool (outdoors, surrounded by loungers, and lit at night by antique street lamps imported from Paris).
