The Hotel Chelsea
2023 Aug 19
Far from being a historical curiosity, our stay at the Chelsea was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in NYC.
Yes it’s loved in chic, with long term residents still roaming the halls, small elevators, a tiny lobby and architecture that was last modern in the late 1800’s. But that seems to just make it feel more like where you want to be.
The artwork, placed everywhere and all the way up it’s central staircase, will get you roaming the hallways, only to discover hidden rooms, unexpected passageways, and magical doorways into history.
The bed, in the New York spacious room, is so comfortable you many never get up from the haze of the night before without the help of a room service fresh coffee on the balcony overlooking the bustle and sirens of Manhattan on the move with service is so authentic and responsive you will feel cared for from the moment you arrive at the hotel at 4pm or 4am.
But the real reason to stay at the Chelsea is experiencing the Lobby Bar. It must be the most beautiful, comfortable, nook and cranny, den of creative iniquity since the cocktail was invented.
The bar team, Natasha, Beau, Ny, Fern, Mathew and more are pro’s who also show up with personality and endearing charm. And the patrons match their spirit. The people watching alone justifies the price of their drinks.
It’s a crime to never leave your hotel to experience the best of NYC, but in this case, it’s a crime not to experience the best of NYC at the Chelsea.
And make sure not to leave your lover at home. If there ever was a destination for love and memories the Hotel Chelsea is it.
Thank you for just being as you are.
We will be back.

Absolutely my favourite small neighbourhood whiskey bar in NYC. Burlesque on Thursdays and sometimes on Wednesdays. Incredible dj. Even ran into the world famous Dirty Martini burlesque artist in the audience one night. (Look her up)
