A contemporary hotel in Hudson Square steps from SoHo and the Hudson River, the Arlo features small but beautifully designed rooms, a lobby bar popular with the downtown creative crowd, and an excellent rooftop with views of One World Trade.
The Arlo Hudson Square stands at 231 Hudson Street in Hudson Square, a creative and media district in Lower Manhattan between SoHo, TriBeCa, and the Hudson River waterfront. The hotel opened in 2016 and quickly became a reference property for the newer wave of Manhattan mid-range hotels — compact, smartly designed, and positioned in a neighborhood that combines the cultural energy of Downtown with relative proximity to the West Village and the expanding Hudson River Greenway.
The hotel's 325 rooms are among the more compact in Manhattan's competitive mid-range sector, but their design prioritizes quality of materials and efficient use of space over square footage. Custom wall-mounted storage, high-quality bedding, strong natural light from over-sized windows, and well-designed compact bathrooms make the rooms feel complete rather than constrained. Upper-floor rooms on the south and west sides have clear views toward One World Trade Center and the Hudson River.
The social areas of the hotel compensate for the compact rooms with character and energy. The lobby bar is conceived as a convivial gathering point for the downtown creative community, drawing a mix of hotel guests and neighborhood residents from Google's nearby New York campus and the area's media firms. The rooftop is the hotel's most distinctive amenity, offering sweeping views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River, with seasonal cocktail service in a casual outdoor setting.
Hudson Square's evolution from a printing-industry district to a media and tech hub gives the neighborhood a distinctive professional energy that sets it apart from more tourist-heavy nearby blocks in SoHo. The hotel's location provides easy walking access to Hudson River Park, the boutiques of Greenwich Village, and the galleries of TriBeCa. The M20 bus runs along Hudson Street directly in front of the building.
