A landmark hotel on West 23rd Street in Chelsea, Manhattan, reopened after a long restoration, with rooms from 200 sq ft, a lobby bar, El Quijote and a Japanese restaurant in the building.
For the building. Very few hotels anywhere have this much cultural history still legible in the fabric, and the restoration kept the staircase, the ironwork and the art rather than replacing them.
A genuinely historic building handled with care, the staircase and lobby art, El Quijote next door, and a Chelsea address within walking distance of the High Line and the Village.
Small standard rooms. A lobby that functions partly as a tourist attraction. No published rates, and accessible rooms require emailing to book.
Anyone with an interest in twentieth-century music, writing or art, and anyone who would rather stay somewhere specific than somewhere large.

Nightly rates are not published as a fixed figure and vary with season and demand. Check current rates on the hotel's official booking page. Accessible rooms are booked by emailing the hotel.

Two to three nights.
Stay for the building, and book a category above Petite. The restoration kept what mattered, which almost no one expected.

Rooms at the Hotel Chelsea start small: the Petite Chelsea is a queen bed at 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. Accessible rooms are larger, with a king bed at approximately 450 sq ft, and are booked by emailing the hotel rather than online. Nightly rates are not published as a fixed figure. The building on West 23rd Street housed Dylan Thomas, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin and Sid Vicious, and spent a decade…
