The Amelia Hudson

Perfect location, comfortable + quiet rooms. We had room 6 and it was a stunning view. Would love to return in the summer and use the gorgeous pool!! One star deducted because some of the furniture and such is a bit beat up and scuffed and could be updated/tended to.

Lovely hotel with excellent service in beautiful Hudson. Definitely recommend. !!!

This is a lovely hotel in Hudson NY. Rooms are spacious with great closet space. Beds are comfortable with great pillows. Bathrooms are large and showers are very nice with great water pressure. The hotel has very beautiful sitting rooms for relaxing and is beautifullly decorated. Also, very nice breakfast and homemade snacks. Super close to all the restaurants and shops. Really nice and helpful staff! We would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing experience. We'll be back. Close walk to restaurants and shops but secluded enough for quiet. The staff was super helpful and amazing.

Very tasteful hotel in heart of Hudson, not cheap, but very well appointed.

- The Amelia is a wonderful, truly unique place. I came here on a self-created writer’s retreat, to make some progress on a stalled book project, and it was the perfect place for me to write, free from distractions. But it would also be a superb choice for a solo or couples’ vacation (I’d love to return someday with my spouse) or possibly an executive or extended-family retreat, if you reserved the entire property. - It’s important to understand what The Amelia is and isn’t (in light of some of the other reviews). It isn’t a full-service hotel—there isn’t 24/7 staffing—and it isn’t a bed and breakfast (so there’s no hot breakfast, or even a restaurant). That said, if you need anything, the staff is super-responsive by text, and they do offer daily housekeeping if you want it. - Instead, think of The Amelia as a private home, owned by a wealthy friend with impeccable taste, and you have the run of it. And the lack of full-time staff gives you even more privacy (aside from other guests, but when I was there, we didn’t bother each other). There are multiple beautiful public rooms on the first floor—perfect for lounging with friends over coffee or drinks, reading a book, or working. There's a gorgeous area in the back with a 35-foot-long pool, patio, and fire pit. And you get to enjoy it all. - My room (#6) was fabulous. It’s spacious and at the top of the house, so it feels secluded, and it has what I’m guessing is the best view in the house, overlooking the pool and backyard. The serenity is great for working, reading, or sleeping. There’s a giant walk-in closet (which I didn’t avail myself of, but it’s there). - My bed was incredibly comfortable, of what I consider ideal firmness (a pretty firm mattress). There’s a desk in the corner that’s excellent for working. The windowed bathroom has a huge shower with a rainfall showerhead and great water pressure (weak pressure is a pet peeve of mine). - The location can’t be beaten. It’s on Allen Street, which is pretty and quiet (and has lots of parking—but there are also multiple spots behind the house, on the property itself, and they never got filled up during my stay). At the same time, it’s a short walk to Warren Street, the main thoroughfare in Hudson, and all that it has to offer—including restaurants, cafés, galleries, and shops. (Some recommendations: Feast and Floret, for a nice meal; Isaan Thai Star, for a casual meal; Mel the Bakery, for incredible pastries; and Culture Cream, for creative flavors of scrumptious ice cream.) - In short, I LOVE The Amelia. I’ve stayed at some great hotels and resorts over the years, but this is a personal favorite. It overflows with comfort and understated luxury, while at the same time abounding in character and charm. I can’t wait to return, as either a solo traveler—maybe I’ll make this “writing retreat” an annual event—or with my spouse!

Had a great stay at the Amelia for our wedding weekend with family and couldn’t have had a better stay. Great location, amazing pool, rooms are very clean and comfortable, common spaces were great, and staff was stellar! Looking forward to staying here again.

The room (#5) had an overwhelming chemical smell that made us ill. We weren’t comfortable spending the night, and the hotel refunded us, but it was an odd experience in the 45 minutes that we were there. Smell aside, the property is okay but doesn’t warrant the price, in my opinion. It is more of a B&B instead of a hotel. We love Rivertown Lodge and will keep that as our go-to stay in Hudson. For a splurge, opt for The Maker.

Please check the cancellation policy before booking the hotel - usually 24 hours is sufficient. Plans changed for our booking and we discovered they even though it was a couple of days before the hotel owners adamantly enforced and charged the stay.

Perfect relaxing spot to explore Hudson
