In the quiet community of Hudson, New York, with the rich hues of autumn on every side, there’s plenty of history to be found—as well as charming shops, delightful dining, and sidewalks designed for relaxing afternoon strolls. If you find yourself exploring these quaint streets, just a short distance away from the main strip you’ll come across an inviting sight.
Formerly a private Queen Anne–style home, the building that now houses The Amelia has entered its second life as a landing pad for visitors to the Hudson Valley, and it boasts all the beauty and history of the area as well as abundant modern comforts.
In one of the boutique hotel’s eight rooms, you’ll find a quiet space equipped with everything needed to recharge from a day spent enjoying an upstate New York autumn.
When you find the time to venture from your room, you’ll encounter thoughtful details in each of the community spaces, which weave a sleek contemporary aesthetic among the warmth and elegance of the original architectural features.
Starting with a visit to the well-curated library, spend a tranquil morning over a breakfast of complementary house-made baked goods. Or finish an evening fireside, either in the cozy warmth of the living area or under starlight by the fire pit in the garden.
Despite its many comforts, The Amelia isn’t just designed for private relaxation. Community is an essential part of the experience, and the hotel serves as a meeting space for visitors and locals alike. Enjoy local art, live music, book readings, and more while mingling with people who know what makes the area special.
