About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Lower Manhattan at the intersection of Hudson Street and Spring Street, LAZ Parking - 294 Hudson Lot (SoHo) is an open-air, valet-assisted surface parking facility serving the bustling Hudson Square, SoHo, and West Village neighborhoods. Unlike the subterranean, low-ceiling garages typical of Manhattan, this lot offers a completely open-sky layout with no vertical clearance restrictions. This open headroom makes it a rare and invaluable destination for full-size SUVs, crossover utilities, pickup trucks, passenger vans, and high-roof conversion vehicles that cannot clear standard indoor NYC garage entries. Attendant valet staff manage vehicle maneuvering and placement on site around the clock, providing a straightforward drop-off and pickup experience.

This Hudson Square location places drivers steps away from some of the city's premier cultural venues, tech headquarters, and shopping corridors:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility is located on the east side of Hudson Street, a major northbound thoroughfare through Lower Manhattan. Ingress is seamless directly from Hudson Street just past Spring Street. For regional commuters and travelers crossing state lines, the lot offers unrivaled vehicular access: it is situated directly adjacent to the inbound exit routes and outbound approaches for the Holland Tunnel (I-78) to and from New Jersey, and is only two avenues east of Route 9A (West Side Highway), enabling drivers to bypass congested cross-town streets.

For continuing travel via public transit, multiple New York City Subway stations are situated within comfortable walking distance:

Spring Street Station (C, E Trains): 3-minute walk east at 6th Avenue and Spring Street.
Houston Street Station (1 Train): 5-minute walk north at Varick Street and West Houston Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Oversize Vehicle Surcharges: Because space is at a premium in Lower Manhattan, an on-site oversize fee (typically $15 for standard SUVs and $25 for extra-large/super-oversize vehicles) applies and must be paid upon retrieval if not bundled into your reservation pass.
Pre-Book Ahead: Spaces fill rapidly during weekday business mornings and weekend evening shopping and dining peaks; reserving online through LAZ, SpotHero, or ParkMobile secures guaranteed entry.
Keep Your Valet Claim Ticket: Valet attendants issue a physical claim ticket at check-in. Retain this ticket, as it is required alongside your mobile pass to retrieve your vehicle upon return.
Lane Positioning on Hudson Street: Because Hudson Street is a multi-lane one-way street, stay in the right lane after crossing Spring Street to enter the driveway smoothly without getting caught in commuter traffic.
