The Hotel Chelsea

My partner and I stayed here over Labour Day weekend. We had the best time, especially as we were upgraded to a suite upon arrival which was a real treat. The room was beautiful, with high quality furnishings and a very comfy bed. The staff were really helpful and friendly, offering excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants and things to do. We also had drinks in the lobby bar which were fabulous - a beautiful surrounding and inventive twists on classic cocktails. It was a wonderful stay in a hotel where you can feel the history in its walls. We will definitely be back next time we are in NYC!

From the “Welcome to the Hotel Chelsea” to the “ Thank you so much for staying with us and come stay with us again soon”, our journey at the Hotel
Chelsea was incredible. This hotel deserves the highest ratings given to a property. Tracy who checked us in gave us a complementary upgrade to an even more fabulous room than we had booked. We opened the door to our very spacious, meticulously clean , totally fashionable, and over the top luxurious room. From there, our stay continued to be 5 star. The lobby bar is a throwback to an era when cocktails were king and they have fully revived the experience. A Glamorous, exclusive feeling yet still totally welcoming. Climbing into bed we snuggled in our Italian linen sheets and woke up refreshed and ready to
enjoy the grand marble bathroom . 4 nights of absolute bliss. I can’t recommend this hotel enough and look forward to our upcoming stay in November.

We had an amazing 6 nights stay at this hotel. It is a landmark building, carefully renovated and with a lot of attention to detail. The service was really good, friendly and genuine. We had a little medical emergency and the staff did everything they could to assist. They even checked-in on us several times the next day(s) by calling our room and checking all is ok. Also every special request was answered immediately and the bell boys are super nice and helpful. The rooms are large for NYC standards and we loved the bed! We didn’t try the bar or restaurants but they look stunning. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Incredible service as soon as you walk in the door. Stayed in one of their one bedroom suites and it was absolutely amazing. The entire hotel including the lobby bar and both attached restaurants are insanely gorgeous. The breakfast at the lobby bar was delicious. There is immense attention to detail in every nook and cranny. Beautiful art all throughout the place. The amount of history in this hotel combined with a fantastic renovation by Sean MacPherson made this one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had, even though it was just one night. Jake at the front desk was incredibly sweet and helpful and made our visit even more phenomenal. Such a great place. Will definitely be back anytime we return to NY. Thank you!!!

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.

I wanted to take a moment and congratulate the team at The Hotel Chelsea. I was so impressed by the renovations, my luxurious room, the attentive and professional staff, and the bohemian history of the hotel. The room was spacious and well appointed and my partner and I found our 4 night stay to be one of the best experiences we've had in a long time. NY is always magical but even more so when you find an incredible hotel to love.

Great stay at the Hotel Chelsae in NYC!
From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with the warmest smiles and excellent customer service that made me feel right at home. They even upgraded my room free of charge:)

The beautiful decor exuded a unique charm that blended classic elegance with modern touches. It is evident that they take great pride in maintaining their aesthetic.

The location was great . It was conveniently situated, allowing me to get around NYC with ease.

One minor con would be that the elevator was pretty slow. Thankfully, I was only on the 2nd level, so I decided to take the stairs most of the time.

Despite that minor inconvenience, I would absolutely stay at the Hotel Chelsae again without a second thought. The wonderful customer service, the stunning decor, and the fantastic location all contributed to an unforgettable experience.

Near perfect experience in a Chelsea King for 3 nights.

On the plus side:
- beautiful hotel with interesting history and a lot of charm that does not feel “old” in a bad way
- rooms are very quiet, windows are of a high quality blocking the sound
- rooms are very well renovated and relaxing, the light fixtures are beautiful and you can create a very dim atmosphere
- the materials in the bathroom are luxurious and beautiful, the shower was huge and very enjoyable
- the bed and the sheets were super comfortable
- excellent service, fast and friendly
- the location, of course, is good, with plenty of transit options all around, and a midtown location that makes it close to a lot of NYC sighting

We will come back if we can (rates were good on this July 4 weekend, not sure it is always the case), and maybe one day in our dream just buy one of these room for our own pleasure, you never know :)
