A Fifth Avenue address is a sign of prestige, a signal you’ve made it. That you not only belong in New York City, but also that this city belongs to you.. When you think of 5th Avenue, you think of culture — the MET and the Guggenheim live on 5th. You think fashion — Cartier, Gucci and Bendels all have residences on 5th Avenue. And, of course, 5th Avenue is the eastern border of the illustrious Central Park. The Fifth Avenue Hotel fully embodies this essence, but it is also cool. It’s downtown, in the up-and-coming-NOMAD neighborhood. It’s a respite from the stuffiness of the upper east side. Or a hiatus from the never-ending buzz of Chelsea.

The Chelsea Hotel is more than a New York City institution — it’s a resident. It’s that eccentric but stylish neighbor on your block with occasionally slightly unkempt hair who’s lived there through many iterations of the neighborhood.

Who, with quiet grace, observes knowingly as you tell the story of that crazy night out decades ago where you saw so many celebrities in a club that no longer exists and never once mentions that they were, in fact, the club’s owner. The Chelsea Hotel belongs to the city more than any of us who live here or visit it. It’s legendary, historic and now once again generously permits us to walk its hallways as we try to absorb some of its magic and excitedly hope that just a little bit of its experience rubs off on us.

The best hotels in Chelsea are so much more than temporary housing for vacationers. They each have their very own character and specific circle of friends. These hotels don’t just host holiday-makers, we (locals) hang out with them all the time — for after dinner drinks, for parties, and for oft-needed staycations. We welcome you to mingle with us at the best hotels in Chelsea — contrary to what you may have heard, New Yorkers are a very congenial bunch.
