         ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                  This Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) relates to the common
         stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Hudson Hotels
         Corporation, a New York corporation with its principal executive
         offices at 300 Bausch & Lomb Place, Rochester, New York 14604 (the
         "Company").


         ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                  This Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) is being filed by Richard
         Sands, Robert Sands, CWC Partnership-I and the Marvin Sands Master
         Trust (as successor to Marvin Sands).

                  Richard Sands is President and Chief Executive Officer of
         Canandaigua Brands, Inc., a Delaware alcoholic beverage corporation
         with its principal offices located at 300 WillowBrook Office Park,
         Fairport, New York 14424 ("Canandaigua").

                  Robert Sands is Chief Executive Officer, International,
         Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Canandaigua.

                  Laurie Sands was a physician living and practicing in
         Rochester, New York prior to her death in March 1995. CWC
         Partnership-I, a New York general partnership with its principal
         offices located at 300 WillowBrook Office Park, Fairport, New York
         14424 ("CWC"), was organized for the purpose of isolating and holding
         certain of her interests for estate-planning purposes. Its Co-Managing
         Partners are Richard Sands and Robert Sands. Its non-managing partners
         are four trusts which benefit the husband and two children of Laurie
         Sands. The trustees of the four trusts are Andrew Stern (the husband of
         Laurie Sands) and Marilyn Sands (the wife of Marvin Sands). Andrew
         Stern is a physician living and practicing in Rochester, New York.
         Marilyn Sands is not currently employed.

                  As of the filing of Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3), Marvin
         Sands was Chairman of the Board of Canandaigua and the father of
         Richard Sands, Robert Sands and Laurie Sands. Marvin Sands, following
         the filing of Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3) but prior to his death in
         August 1999, transferred most of his assets (including those relating
         to shares of Common Stock of the Company) to the Marvin Sands Master
         Trust. The Marvin Sands Master Trust (the "Sands Trust") was formed in
         New York under an Agreement dated October 28, 1996 for estate-planning
         purposes. Its Co-Trustees are Richard Sands, Robert Sands and Marilyn
         Sands. The beneficiaries of the Sands Trust are Marilyn Sands, during
         her lifetime, and thereafter Marvin Sands' issue, presently being
         Richard Sands, Robert Sands and the children of Laurie Sands.

                  Each of Richard Sands, Robert Sands, Marilyn Sands and Andrew
         Stern is a citizen of the United States.

                  During the last five years, none of Richard Sands, Robert
         Sands, Laurie Sands, Marvin Sands, Marilyn Sands, Andrew Stern, CWC and
         the Sands Trust (a) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding
         (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) was or
         is subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
         violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
         federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect
         to such laws, as a result of being a party to a civil proceeding of a
         judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

         inclusive and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D (Amendment
         No. 4) are incorporated herein by reference. The information in such
         rows 7 through 11 and row 13, and the information in this Item 5, is
         through the date of execution of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4).
         The percentages of ownership set forth in this Schedule 13D (Amendment

         12, 1999 as reported in the Company's most recently available Form 10-Q
         as filed on July 29, 1999.

                  Each of Richard Sands, Robert Sands, CWC and the Sands Trust
         (as successor to Marvin Sands) declares that the filing of this
         Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) shall not be construed as an admission
         that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, the
         beneficial owner of securities for which he or it disclaims beneficial
         ownership.

                  M, L, R & R. Under the name of M, L, R & R, Richard Sands,
         Robert Sands, CWC and the Sands Trust act together for the purpose of
         acquiring, holding and disposing of securities of the Company. By
         virtue of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
         the understandings they have with respect to M, L, R & R, Richard
         Sands, Robert Sands, CWC and the Sands Trust may be considered to be a
         group and, as such, they would be deemed to have beneficial ownership
         of all securities of the Company which are beneficially owned by any of
         them. Richard Sands, Robert Sands, CWC and the Sands Trust beneficially
         own an aggregate of 1,538,107 shares of Common Stock of the Company or
         24% of the outstanding Common Stock as of July 12, 1999.

         shares of Common Stock of the Company and a currently exercisable
         Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares. M, L, R & R acquired 666,666 of the
         shares from Hudson Properties on March 25, 1999 in consideration for

         been pledged by Hudson Properties as security for the loan pursuant to
         a Pledge and Irrevocable Proxy Security Agreement dated as of May 26,

         of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents held in the name of M, L, R
         & R (i.e. 937,500 shares of Common Stock). These 937,500 shares have
         been excluded from row 11 and have not been included in calculating the
         percentages in row 13 on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D
         (Amendment No. 4). If the 937,500 shares had been included in the
         calculation of the percentages in row 13, then the percentages would be
         22.3% for Richard Sands, 20.3% for each of Robert Sands and CWC and
         19.8% for the Sands Trust.

                  SHARES HELD DIRECTLY. Richard Sands beneficially owns 176,216

         (Amendment No. 4). If the 176,216 shares had been included in the
         calculations for the percentages in row 13, then the percentages in row
         13 would be 8.4% for each of Robert Sands and CWC and 7.9% for the
         Sands Trust.

                  Robert Sands beneficially owns 45,847 shares of Common Stock

         shares had been included in the calculations for the percentages in row
         13, then the percentages in row 13 would be 8.4% for Richard Sands,
         6.3% for CWC and 5.9% for the Sands Trust.

                  CWC beneficially owns 46,544 shares of Common Stock of the

         46,544 shares had been included in the calculations for the percentages
         in row 13, then the percentages in row 13 would be 8.4% for Richard
         Sands, 6.3% for Robert Sands and 5.9% for the Sands Trust.

                  The Sands Trust beneficially owns 19,500 shares of Common

         shares of Common Stock of the Company and 247,467 shares of one-for-one
         convertible preferred stock of the Company as trustee for the benefit
         of Jennifer Sands (the wife of Richard Sands), during her lifetime, and
         thereafter her children. Richard Sands disclaims beneficial ownership
         of such shares. These 454,900 shares have been excluded from row 11 and
         have not been included in calculating the percentage in row 13 on the
         cover page of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 4) for Richard Sands. If
         the shares of convertible preferred stock had been converted into
         Common Stock of the Company, and if the resulting 454,900 shares of
         Common Stock of the Company had been included in the calculations for
         the percentage in row 13, then the percentage in row 13 would be 14.7%

         Common Stock of the Company had been included in the calculations for
         the percentage in row 13, then the percentage in row 13 would be 9.0%
         for Richard Sands.
