About the Hudson River
The Hudson River is an important natural landmark and a popular destination for millions of tourists who want to walk and wander about its iconic bridges.
According to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, long before Henry Hudson’s exploration, Indigenous tribes had named the river “Mahicantuck” or “river that flows two ways”. The river was then renamed the “Hudson River” in 1664 recognizing Hudson’s contributions to the English monarchy.
Tips for visiting:
- Consider a boat tour to enjoy the river's beauty from the water because it offers a unique perspective of the surrounding landscapes and historic sites.
- Take some time to explore historic sites. The Hudson River Valley is rich in history, and there are other places such as the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum or the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site you can visit.

What guests are saying about the view:
“Great view of Manhattan across the Hudson. That said, beware that view from the rooms on the south-side (xx13 through xx17, where xx is the floor number) may be obstructed by the building next door, though the room on the eastern end (xx13) may get a good view of the financial district. Rooms on the north side (xx02 through xx06), even tucked away on the western side of the building, give you a spectacular view of the midtown high rises. Large suites (xx08 and xx10) have windows directly facing the Hudson, so while I never stayed there, I bet you are guaranteed great views, though of course you’d have to pay extra for that :-)” - by Google reviewer, Ken Tokusei
