It was a joy to stay in such an historic building.It seeps history of the subculture.
It's not cheap,but what do you expect if you want somewhere as good as this?
The staff were ultra polite and helpful,even got me onto a front balcony for a Dee Dee Ramone shot.
My room was beautifully furnished and decorated,very sympathetic to the building.The artwork on the walls meant I hardly used the lift,it was a joy to walk past it.
Go to the in house restaurant,the speciality lobster and steak is a treat.
Great room, excellent care from the room cleaning/freshening staff. Breakfast in the Cafe was surprisingly and disappointingly mediocre for such a quality hotel. Outstanding lobby bar. Would stay again.

The staff is always very welcoming. The hotel is beautiful and the location is perfect.
Incredible experience -- bucket list lived up to all the hype - magical accommodations and incredible staff!!! Legendary history, matched by incredibly layered artwork, design, and charm. The cleaning/maid staff was so great - they even brought up cookies and fresh bottles of spring water before bed!! The concierge, Tracy, was really helpful and Oscar, our server in the Café Chelsea, made my daughter's birthday breakfast a great experience.
Beautiful renovation of an historic property, hip clientele and super friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room, windows that open. Lively and elegant bar scene. Just great atmosphere.
The Hotel Chelsea was a fantastic stay. I was able to check in early, which was really appreciated, and my request for a room with a bath was accommodated without any issues.
The room itself was beautiful — very clean, well-designed, and felt genuinely luxurious. Everything was comfortable and thoughtfully put together.
I didn’t use all of the hotel facilities during my stay, but I was very impressed by the staff, who were consistently friendly and professional. The food and overall service were also excellent.
I would definitely stay here again.
10/10 stay. Iconic hotel. Still has that boho/punk vibe. The staff is wonderful. The rooms are ideal. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Room service is top notch. Food is excellent. The cafe and bars cannot be beat. I can’t give it higher marks or I would.
Beautiful hotel made for a perfect trip. The restaurant choices and lobby bar were all amazing. Loved all the art hung around the hotel made it great to explore the corridors.

Great vibe
Excellent service, the dining, the front desk, the cleaning and the gentleman at the main door were all excellent! Very convenient transportation as the hotel is between the blue and red subway lines. The hotel amenities were top notch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
