1940s Atlantic City meets chic, boutique hotel scene, day and night
The first non-gaming hotel to grace the Boardwalk since the 1960s wraps its guests in decor that captures the best of Art Deco, Art Nouveau and cutting-edge design. Fireplace lounges, chill-out bars and poolside cabanas create a cool boutique experience without the casino clutter. Kick back at the Chelsea's two signature restaurants, a spa and fitness center, two heated saltwater pools or beachside in the Chelsea's seasonal lounge chairs. The rooftop swimming pool with cabana service is exclusive to Chelsea guests on weekends (and not those in rooms at the Annex next door).

You get what you pay for
We stayed at the Chelsea for my husbands birthday. Ive wanted to stay there for a while and was excited about the boutique style hotel. The staff at the front desk acted like you were doing them a favor by checking in. We arrived at 11pm and there was a line at the desk. We had a room in the luxe tower, ha! Our room was directly above the nightclub, we could hear music all night long even after we got in after 2am. Also it's not a four star hotel. The heater is loud the room is small and everything is worn out. The staff was so busy when we checked out they were not friendly at all. Next time I go to AC I will stay somewhere else.

Wish they did not have a valet parking only option and a 5$-10$ surprise fee like Harrah's (ment). We parked the car right here for board walk, and tropicana (Nanking restaurant for the asians or the Rainforest junk) ending with a decent P F Changs are all at walkable distance.

One of the few places to stay on boardwalk w/o casino which was just what wife and I wanted for anniversary. Very nice ocean views. Front desk very helpful as well. Considering area, food was good for price in informal restaurant.

quick getaway
This was my first trip to AC and I was very happy we did not stay in one of the casino hotels. The Chelsea was very well done in a great Hollywood regency type of style. Keplitsky's (the diner) had a fun Miami vibe (good art deco Miami not cheesy late 90's Miami) The food was ok- good fried mac & cheese, and tuna ceviche, the pizza however tasted like something you'd get on Amtrak. We had a drink at the 5th floor restaurant and returned late night to shake it on the dance floor, which was a blast. I think the bed was comfortable, but at 4am who knows! I would say my only complaints would be no one to greet you at the door, no bellhops to help you with your bags, which seemed strange for a high end hotel. My other complaint was that I forgot my toothbrush and was referred to the gift shop to purchase one for $3. Really? What hotel doesn't have a bin of $.25 toothbrushes under the desk??

Retro Chic
Our experience at the Chelsea hotel was extremely positive: the room was great, the amenities perfect (iron, ironing board, safe, full mini bar) and the staff very friendly. While the Chelsea hotel is not a casino, it is located immediately across from the Tropicana, and walking distance (via the Boardwalk) from the Trump Plaza, Caesar's and Bally's. Trump Taj Mahal is much further away. The hotel is also walking distance (10-15 mn) from the Outlet stores. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely stay here again if we come back to AC.

The Water Show at the Caesar's Shopping mall (outside Caesar's casino on the Boardwalk) plays every hour on the hour and is a very entertaining experience.

Could have been great
Excellent hotel and location right on the boardwalk and large room with great view, but there were several small things; bad lighting in bathroom, A/C had to be repaired upon arrival, sink was stopped up and no coffeemaker or frig; and one big thing a hotel sponsored DJ party at the pool 17 floors down which shook the windows until 2AM which turned what could have been a great experience into a bad impression..

An Awesome Weekend in A.C.
I didn't want a Casion/Hotel room because they do not make you feel special for being the little person and not the big spender. The Chelsea is amazing from the moment you enter the lobby. It has such a unique look with amazing accents that take your breath away. I was upgraded and that made me feel so excited because this hotel choice was a surprise for my fiance. So basically the stay in such a beautiful and retro looking hotel only means that I will recommend it to friends and family, as well as ONLY return to stay at The Chelsea in any future trips.

This Cool Hotel Has It All Together
The young and younger at heart will love this swank, very comfy full service hotel. With its great afternoon pool party, first-class steak house, beach chair food and service, and fairly luxurious rooms and customer service, it's almost like a Vegas hotel on the Atlantic-with not a single Walmart casino type in sight. Has one of the best clubs in the city -with lines out of the hotel's well secured front door til 4 a.m. A mechanical problem with the a/c resulted in the offer of the last open room just to sleep, but we opted to open the window and stay, which was still quite comfortable overnight. I got a nice free robe out of the deal, and there is a great diner on-premises for the 'morning after,' too. Thanks for taking such good care of us, Monique.

"It was the best"
I was very suprised at the service that we received. It was impectable. Out of all of the hotels that I have stayed in I have never received such nice service as the staff showed at the Chelsea. Everything was right there for us, the pools, clubs and resturant. Even the security staff was so pleasant. The room was very very comfortable and we were 100% satisfied.
