Uber-modern design, whimsical touches and luxurious amenities are all rolled into the Hudson hotel near the Time Warner Center and Central Park. A glowing, yellow escalator greets guests and transports them to the lobby, with its 40-foot, ivy-covered ceiling. Inside, guests relax in the hotel's indoor park or take in the view from the private terrace. A gym, library and on-site restaurant round out the amenities.
