Pocketbook Hotel & Baths
Industrial-luxury meets art compound. Raw brick walls and massive wooden beams contrast with stainless steel, custom millwork, and serious contemporary art curated throughout. The vibe is queer-inclusive, arts-forward, and deliberately community-minded — more downtown art world than upstate pastoral.

Why It Matters
Hudson's largest landmarked building, gut-renovated over four years by architecture firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero. Art director WangShui wove contemporary works — Tschabalala Self, Maryam Hoseini, Martine Gutierrez — into the actual architecture. Custom everything: lamps by Misha Kahn, bathrobes by Eckhaus Latta, water vessels by Mamo. The Baths draw from sento, hammam, and thermae traditions and are open to the public as a day spa. Two hours from NYC by Amtrak.
A 70,000-square-foot former pocketbook factory from 1883, opened in late 2025 as Hudson's most ambitious hospitality project. The red brick and timber building now holds 46 rooms and suites, an Argentine open-fire restaurant, a communal bathhouse, an art-forward nightclub called Ether in the original boiler room, galleries, and a ground-floor market. This is not a farmhouse inn or a motor lodge makeover — it's a full-on cultural complex that happens to have beds.
