The Fate of Another Hotel Plan

Over the years, the promise of a luxury hotel in Hudson has been dangled before us more than once. There was the plan to build a new hotel at Fifth and Warren streets, and Richard Cohen's plan to turn the buildings he owns at Fourth and Warren into a hotel, but alas, for various reasons, neither has came to fruition. 
 

Most recently, Duncan Calhoun and Russell Gibson, proprietors of The Croff House on Willard Place, presented to the Planning Commission  their plan to turn 542 Warren Street into a sixteen-room boutique hotel, with such amenities as working fireplaces in every room. Their purchase of the building, they told the commission, was contingent on their getting site plan approval and working out a deal with the City of Hudson to lease sixteen parking spaces for their guests in the municipal lot behind the building, but before either of these things could be achieved, the owner, according to several reliable sources, had a change of heart about selling the building and took it off the market.
