Best Luxury Hotels in Chelsea

The newly reopened Hotel Chelsea, a storied landmark, has reclaimed its place as a sanctuary for unique individuals in the heart of Chelsea in NYC. Redesigned by Sean MacPherson, Ira Drukier and Richard Born, the renovation aimed to refresh the interiors while preserving the original spirit of the hotel. The iconic 1884 structure, once the tallest building in NYC, remains intact with its restored red brick façade, iron balconies, and the iconic neon Hotel Chelsea sign. The property features two renowned dining establishments – the historic Spanish restaurant El Quijote and the recently opened Café Chelsea, complemented by a spacious Lobby Bar. Additionally, guests can indulge in the newly opened spa and wellness centre for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Hotel Chelsea offers a variety of suite categories with interiors designed to feel like spacious apartments. Each room features exclusive and lavish amenities that are rarely found in New York hotels. The larger suites, such as the Chelsea Grand Suite, provide unique comforts including a full-size, fully stocked kitchen, a washer and dryer, an additional half bath, a deep soaking tub, a separate living and dining room area, and ample closet space. For those travelling with family or in large groups, the Two Bedroom Suites offer 1,700 square feet of space, featuring two full baths and one-half bath. These suites comfortably accommodate multiple guests and are perfect for extended stays. Hotel Chelsea’s commitment to blending historic charm with modern luxury makes it an exceptional destination for travellers seeking a memorable and refined New York experience.
