Hudson Lodge
This chalet-themed lounge inside the Hudson
Hotel shows you how to create a winter oasis
at home, without dropping serious dough.
By Cristina Velocci
When the Hudson Hotel (356 W 58th St at Ninth Ave; 212-554-6000, hudsonhotel
.com) decided to winterize its outdoor terrace bar, Private Park, for the first time in its
12-year history, Verena Haller, senior vice president of design for Morgans Hotel
Group, had just five weeks to transform the lush garden space into a temporary
chalet-chic lounge (open through February 28). With a quick turnaround and an even
tighter budget of $20,000, Haller relied on her in-house design team to source skilodge-inspired accessories from various Soho decor stores, in order to dress up the
preexisting furnishings. “When you decorate your home for the season, you don’t want
to spend a lot of money,” notes Haller. “You’re not going to move the furniture out, but
you’ll have different pillows and throws, and more candles than you usually do. That’s
exactly the approach we took here.”
