The Wick, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, just arrived in Hudson, NY, an idyllic and residential yet culturally-robust getaway in New York, only a two and a half-hour drive from NYC. The newly launched 55-room property, which includes seven suites, was originally constructed in the mid-nineteenth century as a candle and soap manufacturing facility before undergoing a meticulous transformation into a boutique hotel.
Originally built in the 1980s, 41 Cross St. was a manufacturing hub for key industries of the soap and candle factory, then textile manufacturing and later a knitting mill. The Wick is the latest adaptive re-use historic preservation and seamlessly blends the independent spirit of the property with world-class guest service. Furnishings, finishes and artwork include the restored 1860s hardwood floors, denim-style wall coverings, candle-making patents and signature lighting. Original nineteenth-century Hudson River School landscapes by Thomas Cole hang in each guestroom and the work of modern Hudson River School painter Jane Bloodgood-Abrams is featured in the lobby.
