Located in the heart of downtown Hudson, New York, the Maker is a celebration of the many creatives—from artists and architects to gardeners and writers—who hailed from the Hudson Valley community. The 11-room boutique hotel, which spans three historical buildings, was a passion project for Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, the cofounders of popular beauty brand Fresh, and hospitality veteran Damien Janowicz, with thoughtfully curated, immersive interiors largely populated by vintage and antique pieces. “When we were designing the place, we set out to take different time periods and eras and really explore how to put them together to live cohesively,” says Glazman, who led the hotel’s interior design and creative direction. “By doing that, it creates more of an emotional reaction.”
A sundrenched conservatory houses the restaurant beneath a glass ceiling. Ample greenery abounds, along with custom banquettes upholstered in a cut velvet from Dedar and chairs adorned with Anke Drechsel pillows in a colorway made exclusively for the Maker. Not originally for sale, Glazman fell in love with a chandelier on display at ABC Carpet & Home, which now hangs in the center of the eatery.
A coziness pervades the library, which features an early-1950s channel tufted leather sofa from Sweden flanked by a pair of green Murano glass table lamps that Glazman found at a local antiques store. The Italian crystal chandelier “has a bohemian feel to it that’s more casual,” he says. “It’s less grand, but still very elegant.” Like most found at the Maker, the patchwork rug is from Morocco.
The 500-square-foot Gardener studio is characterized by rich red and rust tones, including the corduroy-like fabric from Rose Tarlow that sheaths the custom metal-framed bed, which will soon be available for purchase through the Maker. Master craftsman Gary Keegan meticulously restored the structure’s original fireplace using the leaves, rosettes, and other intricate elements of three cabinets. The 1870s gas-lit cast iron chandelier was also restored and reconfigured to be electric.
