The Maker, an 11-room boutique hotel in Hudson, New York that opened in the summer of 2020, has rebranded its in-house restaurant as Serre, French for 'greenhouse.' The new restaurant will showcase the culinary talents of acclaimed chef Jonas Offenbach, offering French cuisine with a modern twist in the hotel's glass-roofed dining space.

Why it matters

  • The Maker Hotel opened in the summer of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The hotel's in-house restaurant has been rebranded as Serre as of April 2026.
