Absolutely stunning hotel, service was impeccable, hedonistic cocktails and superb location. We stayed for our 1st wedding anniversary, and the entire stay was the best hotel experience I have ever had. From the first contact with the hotel, the service was just outstanding. On arrival, we were blown away by the interiors - beautifully restored and retaining the colourful history of the infamous hotel. The lobby cocktail bar was wonderful and we were there every night - the martinis are strong and surroundings glamorous. The bedroom was super comfortable and full of character, excellent bathroom. We are already planning a return trip!

Hotel Chelsea has several exceptional venues for eating/drinking. The Cafe b’fast omelette was the real thing. Dinner in the Cafe was also brilliant, …great food, good wine list and crisp service. The Lounge was buzzing for happy hour, …upscale but cozy with exceptional cocktails and great energy.

Pros: Only interacted with the staff during check in/check out but they were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is a cool, old New York building and obviously has its cultural history. Bars and restaurants seem good but didn’t get to check them out. Cons: This is for the Petite Chelsea room. The room is small, but expected size for NY. It got no light because the only window was facing other buildings. The lighting in the room is very dim, which is part of the hotel vibe. But when combined with no natural light, it’s very dark and depressing in the room. Would not stay in one of these rooms due to that. Did walk by a bigger street facing room that had the door open and that seemed better. Room seemed clean, but it was hard to see anything close up due to the dimness to really tell. Shower was ok, couldn’t get very hot water the first day, was fine on my second day. Had shampoo with a metal cap that needed to be removed, but bathroom is so dark even with the lights on i couldn’t figure out how to open it. lol tl;dr - nice property if you like the old new york vibe, nice staff, depressing and dark room
