About
An 1871 brick block, open again since 2017.
Twenty-four rooms over an oyster bar on Warren Street, run by the two people who restored the building and a small team who know Hudson well.

Our story
The building
Sample history
The building went up in 1871 as a dry goods store, with rooms to let on the floors above. Over the next century it was a hotel, a lawyer’s office and a furniture showroom, and by the 1990s it stood mostly empty.
Graham and Claire Whitcomb bought it in 2016 with the old bar still in the basement. They kept the brick, the tin ceilings and the wide pine floors, added an elevator and an entrance with no steps on Warren Street, and opened 24 rooms and the oyster bar in 2017.
The bar came back first. Most nights you’ll find one of them behind it or at the front desk.
