Inn on the Hudson sits atop a prominent bluff overlooking the Hudson River that offers a striking panoramic view of Peekskill Bay.  The hotel owners sought to redevelop the inn to accommodate growth, to draw business travelers, to provide for catered events and to attract a branded hospitality operator.  Mr. Lynch worked closely with the architect, Jerome Kerner, the owner and City Staff and boards to marshal this highly visible project through a substantial planning process.  Issues resolved included preservation of the project and the site’s unique visual identity, limiting site disturbance while increasing intensity, controlling drainage and accommodating Route 9 construction.
