# Bold Compact Hotel Interiors Pocketbook Hudson by Charlap Hyman & Herrero Reworks Guest Rooms By Amy Duong | Published 2026-03-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketbook-hudson References: [pocketbookhudson](https://pocketbookhudson.com/)  The latest Pocketbook Hudson is a redesigned hotel room concept at the [Hudson Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hudson-lhouse) in New York created by Charlap Hyman [& Herrero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonfiction-new-york) to rethink [compact hospitality spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-w-stockholm). The project reorganizes the limited footprint through custom millwork, integrated storage, and built-in furnishings that define sleeping, seating, and working areas without full-height partitions. Warm wood finishes, upholstered elements, and layered textiles soften the room while maintaining the hotel’s existing architectural framework. The newly changed layout incorporates multifunctional pieces including a built-in bench with concealed storage and movable tables that adapt to different uses throughout a stay. Shelving and cabinetry are arranged to maximize vertical space, while lighting is positioned to support both task-based activities and ambient comfort. The design focuses on spatial efficiency within the constraints of a small urban hotel room.
