Hotel Chelsea

PRICE | LOCATION

The iconic The Hotel Chelsea NYC perfectly balances legendary rock-and-roll history with refined, modern luxury. From the famous wrought-iron staircases to the beautifully appointed rooms, it offers an authentic, nostalgic New York experience unlike any other. Built in the late 1800s, this iconic hotel has been immortalized in songs, films, and books (see “Third Week in the Chelsea,” by Jefferson Airplane, and Patti Smith’s Just Kids, for starters). The hotel closed in 2011 and finally reopened in late 2022 after a lengthy remodel. Though the century-old El Quijote restaurant in the lobby remains, new food and beverage concepts are exciting: the decadent new Lobby Bar with its chandeliers and a grand piano has a sunny solarium and a cocktail menu that borrows from famous hotels around the world.
