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.

Nice hotel. Love the purple and white

I liked the hotel. Stayed in the Luxe Tower which was recommended. We faced the pool and was there for the Thursday night party. It was loud and lasted until 4 AM but with the windows closed (we were on the 14th floor), you could barely hear the music. We were just enjoying the fresh air and ocean sounds the other nights. The 5th floor is great with the cozy game room, restaurant and pool. The beach was great with free towels, chairs and umbrellas available for guests. The beach location wasn't too crowded either like further down near the casinos. The only issues we had was with the carpeting in the hallways on our floor. It was stained in several locations. The other major problem was the shower. It was on super hot and we couldn't figure out hot to turn it to cooler temps. We mentioned it to the front desk and they suggested we figure out how to operate it. We were there for two nights and just tolerated the high temps by taking quick showers except for the last morning when sunburn and hot water made it a little painful. But that was the worse of the room.

If you like to party and hear about the pool parties, you better plan for a weekend stay. They do not have any until Thursday night/

Amazing hotel :D

Even tho chelsea is in not such of a good location, I always come back here because its nice. Its kind of far from the main parts of the boardwalk but its worth staying here. I was drinking, gambling and enjoying my short vacation here and it never goes wrong.

nice hotel!!

my husband and l stayed in these nice hotel x 3 nights. it was so great experience. the room at the 12 floor was big, nice and clean. the outdoor pool was excelent, very friendly the workers who help you at the pool as the securities. nice lounge party at night in the pool, on saturdays! However, the bartenders and some of the waitress who are in the outdoor bar were so rude and unfriendly with us and other customers, it seemed that they did not care about us as customers or they did not work for tips. same was with the waitress in the restaurant on first floor, but the food was great!!it is better to go to the liqueur store around the corner and make your own drinks because these bartenders make you waiting for more than 5 minutes until they can serve you not really good cocktels!when l asked for a margarita it was poor juice, not really good cocktels!! the hotels is in a nice area right ate the beach!! we will come back!!

Nice Hotel

Very nice hotel. Close to the boardwalk and casino's. The only real negative is that they hold a $125 per day deposit on your credit card.

The restaurant attached to the hotel is very expensive for breakfast. Just down the boardwalk, towards the Tropicana, is the Country Kitchen which has good breakfasts for half the price.

loved it

It was a beautiful hotel. Friendly staff. Nice deck/party area. Very trendy and luxurious. It was my 21st birthday, so I came for the party scene. I really enjoyed myself. The only thing I didn't like was that the iHome in my room was missing the cord and they didn't have any spare ones. Other than that, everything was great.

A refreshing surprise.

My wife and I had a great time. We had a very comfortable king bed and the room view was of the exterior pool and ocean. There were two weddings on Saturday and the general atmosphere was upbeat. I made a point of complimenting the manager of the retro restaurant "Teplitsky's" on her staff, we also felt like we were in a Q. T. movie set eating there. Hotel is next to Tropicana...you feel like it's connected.
