Hudson Suite

The Hudson

The Hudson suite is named for the river it faces — the Hudson, Manhattan's western boundary, whose quality of light at dusk has been the subject of a school of painting and a century of civic pride. The suite occupies 148m² on the seventh floor of the western elevation. A terrace, cantilevered above the city's western face, can be accessed directly from the principal salon — a room whose walls are dressed in custom saddle leather panels by W. T. Whitney in a palette of tobacco and pale ivory. The book-lined study beyond the salon was furnished in collaboration with a Greenwich Village antiquarian — twelve running metres of American literature and history in hardback, curated over two years. The master bedroom faces due west; the Grigio Carnico marble bathroom, due south, positions its freestanding soaking tub to face the Palisades across the water at the golden hour. A dedicated butler manages the suite throughout the day and night.
