The Maker Hotel in Hudson channels "old-world bohemian glamour"

Original decor features and vintage treasures helped Lev Glazman, Alina Roytberg and Damien Janowicz create an eclectic sense of old-world charm inside this boutique hotel in Hudson, New York.

Host to just 11 rooms, The Maker Hotel is the brainchild of Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, the co-founders of skincare brand Fresh, and hospitality specialist Damien Janowicz.

This isn't the first time that Glazman and Roytberg have ventured out of the beauty industry – back in 2016 they also worked with Janowicz to open the doors to Bartlett House, a bakery-cum-cafe serving seasonal dishes in the town of Ghent, New York.

When it came to creating The Maker Hotel, Glazman wanted to focus on "celebrating the world of makers", utilising different forms of craftsmanship to foster unique spaces for guests.

"During my travels, I always felt there was an opportunity to expand the hospitality experience – one that inspires and allows you to dream," he explained. "We knew we could execute The Maker concept in Hudson because the area was so rich with artisans, history and design, and it was the perfect location."

"Moving away from standardized design, The Maker fuses different periods, and builds a home where this eclectic design can exist harmoniously," Glazman added.

Inside The Maker Hotel are just 11 guest rooms

Construction works were first carried out to connect the various rooms throughout the 14,000-square foot (1,300 square metres) hotel, which is composed of three different buildings – a Georgian mansion, a Greek revival-style property and a carriage house that dates back to the early 1800s.

New structural additions were also made, including a central courtyard filled with lush greenery and a "jewel box"-like conservatory that now accommodates The Maker Hotel's main restaurant.

Attention was then turned to the interiors, which were largely designed by Glazman – Roytberg focused on the hotel's branding, while Janowicz worked on refining guest experience.

Glazman and the design team sought to keep to as many original features as possible, preserving the ornate fireplaces, hand-painted ceilings, stained-glass windows and tiled mosaic flooring that already existed across the three buildings.

Over 70 per cent of the decorative pieces are antique or were made bespoke by combining salvaged objects. Some of the artworks even come from Glazman's personal collection.

"The result is unexpected; an old-world bohemian glamour that fuses a worldly design ethos shaped by decades of travel," he concluded.

This same eclectic style seeps through to the guest suites, of which there are five typologies: The Bedrooms, The Terrace Lofts, The Corner Studio and The Maker Studios.

The Maker Studios are each inspired by four different creative figures – an architect, artist, gardener, writer – and have been styled accordingly. For example, The Artist room includes a vintage easel, while The Writer room sees book-lined shelves arranged around an oak fireplace.

When not in their rooms, guests can then enjoy the hotel's pool, cafe or intimate cocktail bar.

The Maker Hotel joins a growing number of getaway spots in New York that are situated away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Others include The Hoxton in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which sits on the site of an old water tower.
