Rivertown Lodge

The Rivertown Lodge is a cozy, independently owned 27-room hotel sitting right in the heart of Hudson, situated on Warren Street like it’s always belonged there. But the building has lived many lives – first as a movie theater from 1928 to 1958, then as a roadside motel for 40 years, and now, thanks to owners Ray and Kim, it’s found its latest (and perhaps, for our purposes, coziest) transformation. It's a collaboration, designed with the help of NYC’s Workstead and brought to life by a talented crew of local craftspeople. The brass light fixtures and beds were custom-built by Workstead. The communal kitchen was handcrafted by Rowland Butler, a Hudson-based woodworker specializing in historical restoration. The cozy bar is the work of local carpenter David Wright. Even the cherry wood front desk was thoughtfully built by Marcus Bartenschlager in Brooklyn. And throughout the space, you’ll find furniture by Sawkille of Rhinebeck, upholstery prints by Zak + Fox, and artwork curated by Basilica Hudson. It’s a hotel that feels like home – if home was designed by the best craftspeople in the Hudson Valley, wrapped in history, and effortlessly stylish.
