This Convent in New York's Hudson Valley Was Just Brought Back to Life as a 9-room Boutique Hotel

"As a river town with a rich maritime legacy, Hudson has long been a hub for exploration, commerce, and culture. We wanted the hotel to reflect that heritage."

"By weaving in nautical details, historic references, and a sense of timeless adventure, we aimed to create a space that honors Hudson's roots while offering modern travelers a luxurious stay."

The Hudson Navigator, a newly opened boutique hotel in Hudson, New York, transforms a Victorian-era convent into a nautical-inspired retreat with nine elegant suites. Restored to reflect its 19th-century origins, the hotel features original stained glass, intricate woodwork, and a grand staircase. With unique design elements honoring the town's maritime history, including whale murals and navigational motifs, the hotel offers a luxurious experience while keeping the local culture alive. Developer Benjamin Rinzler highlights the importance of honoring Hudson's rich past while catering to modern travelers seeking both adventure and comfort.
