The Ian Schrager-owned and Philippe Starck-designed Hudson is for the modernly inclined. It's simply one of Manhattan's coolest spots - for sleeping, for drinking, or for simply reading the Times in its jaw-dropping lobby.

There's some trickery upon entering the Hudson. The fluorescent lemon-lime sliding doors light up the escalator-tube which leads to the trompe l'oeil low-lit red-brick and 'vine'-roofed lobby, with sofas in nooks and the adjoining floor-lit Chambers Bar. Just behind is a courtyard and the Library bar, with a purple pool table. Rooms are cruise-ship small, but cushy in the bare details. Translucent curtains separate the walkway, open closet and the all-white room (a sheet envelops the comforter to simplify the look). Many rooms have glass-walled showers for those who like a peek. There's a small desk and a cabinet with a tiny TV. Deluxe studios get you a sofa (with studded white-leather frame) and more room. There's a sky terrace on the 15th floor which looks downtown and at the namesake river.
