Hudson Hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hudson was built in 1928 by the daughter of JP Morgan as the American Women’s Association clubhouse and residence for young women in New York. During World War II the building housed Dutch soldiers. Most recently, the space served as the headquarters for Channel Thirteen.
In 1997, the building was purchased by Ian Schrager and underwent a three-year renovation at the cost of $125 million dollars. Like the Royalton Hotel, the Hudson hotel is also renovated by the famed designer Philippe Starck. It is fitting that the building has been used for both communal organizations and for free-access public broadcasting, for Hudson now follows both these veins—providing a gathering place for public and private social events. It is now part of the Morgans Hotel Group portfolio of hotels.
