Fodor's Expert Review Motto Chelsea

This sleek 42-floor property, first flicking on its lights in 2022, is a breath of fresh air on the Chelsea hotel landscape—especially if you're lucky enough to get a room on the higher floors to enjoy the stunning views. Rooms feature comfy platform beds with channel-tufted headboards and bathrooms clad in handsome blue tiles. Guest room walls are bedecked with art and photographs that reference New York City. For families, some rooms offer a king-size bed with a twin bed above it as a bunk. The on-property state-of-the-art fitness center is worth getting worked-up about and the ground-floor Italian eatery, Bar Cicchetti, is run by chef Fabio Viviani of Top Chef fame.
