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).
Highlights
- Glamorous, swanky Atlantic City hotel with direct Boardwalk access to restaurants, casinos, and shopping
- Two pools, bicycle rentals and free 24-hour fitness center
- Retro-glamorous steakhouse with indoor/outdoor seating, plus a classic diner on site
- 10,000-square-foot Sea Spa offers saltwater-inspired massage and body treatments
- An intimate nightlife scene in atmospheric indoor and outdoor spaces with DJs, fireplaces and signature cocktails
Rooms
Eight tiers of rooms and suites in the 20-story Chelsea Luxe Tower start with an iPod docking station, flat-screen TV with On-Demand service, bathrobes, work desk and free Wi-Fi in every room. Upgrade from a city to a water view for invigorating scenery. An ocean-view sunroom and custom mini bar set a posh scene in the Chelsea Penthouse Suites. Teplitzky's classic diner downstairs provides room service.
Features
Guests at The Chelsea wake with the sun, rent a bicycle or hit the beach. Attendants bring towels and lounge chairs, and set up a sun umbrella. (Reserve a coveted private cabana with lounges and a mahogany wood floor well in advance.) Workout-minded guests appreciate the weights, treadmills, cycles and stair climbers in the 24-hour fitness center, along with towels and chilled water. Power shoppers enjoy a full-day of shopping at The Quarter at Tropicana streetscape. Secure valet parking available (fees apply).
Dining
Sink into 1940s supper club ambiance at Chelsea Prime steakhouse and cocktail lounge, where live entertainment twinkles from a white grand piano. Teplitzky's retro diner serves hearty comfort-food favorites for breakfast and lunch.
Nightlife
The fifth floor of The Chelsea is a self-contained destination for Atlantic City entertainment and nightlife, spilling right out to the cabana-lined pool. Sip champagne and cocktails to a DJ beat in the Living Room with an expansive outdoor terrace. Savvy diners reserve a Hollywood-style booth for dinner with a 1940s Atlantic City feel at Chelsea Prime. At The Chelsea's sophisticated C5, dance til dawn with a cocktail menu and bottle service. The Cabana Club lights up with a seasonal scene around the pool. Excitement along the Boardwalk lies right out the front door.

While at The Chelsea, we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Teplitsky's... very tasty. The rooms are a little noisy. The elevator service was horrible!!!

Great Hotel, Great Location
Initially I enjoyed a good laugh remembering the Howard Johnson that was formerly in this spot but after seeing the transformation I was blown away. The Chelsea was beautiful, down to every detail. We took advantage of having a wonderful restaurant on the premises and dined at Chelsea Prime. The food was very good and the service was spot on. The only gripe that we had was the confusion with valet upon our departure. There were no clear signs or instructions on how or where you were to pick up your car. It would have been helpful having someone guiding the guests and running the valet so guests do not leave feeling frustrated.

Chelsea Prime offers a 3 course menu with limited selections which is cheaper then ordering off of their regular menu.

relax and have fun
We were nervous after reading all of the reviews, but we had a great time. the decor was funky and fun. Our room was clean, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We loved the 4am diner on Saturday night. After dancing our butts off, the diner was great filled with friendly waiters and fun people.

Great wife
Great anniversary
Wonderful experience. Wasn't sure of what to expect after reading some of the reviews, but was really glad we stayed at the Chelsea. From the greeting of the valets, to the bellmen, and the front desk staff we were impressed. The room we had was very nice, with a good view of the beach. Was given very good suggestions from the bellmen as to what to do in the city. Great location for visiting other hotels, shopping, and restuarants. Would definitely stay at The Chelsea again. Don't understand how others gave this hotel a "1". Would have liked to of had the spa opened during my stay.

Great Hotel very cool
Great hotel in Atlantic City. No casino noise made it very relaxing. Cool restaurant Teplitzkys staff was great. My wife and I have not had a night alone with each other since our 10 month old was born. We each had a massage and it was excellent. Good location I look forward to going back in the Summer for pool scene and beach. First time in AC not staying at a Casino I think it saved more money than the room rate with less temptation to hit the tables for longer periods.

Great hotel for the money
I had a great experience at this hotel. Very clean and the staff was very friendly. The room was clean and very modernly decorated. There is a club on one of the floors, so I was concerned about noise. It was very quiet. We ate breakfast at the restaurant downstairs, excellent food and great service. The hotel was located within walking distance to the beach and the Tropicana casino. My only complaint would be there was not bathtub in the room, only a shower. They also do not have a parking area. You have a choice to park elsewhere or valet for $5 a day or $10 on weekends. I valeted my car and had no problems. Overall good experience and will visit again!
