The High Line Hotel

The close proximity to the High Line isn't the only thing this hotel has going for it. Recent guests found nearly every aspect of this Chelsea hotel charming, from the quirky room decor, including a vintage rotary phone, to the hotel's history as an old seminary to the property's French-style garden outfitted with an Intelligentsia coffee truck. The hotel's friendly and attentive staff was also a standout among recent guests, some of which were relieved they didn't experience the pretentiousness typically associated with trendy boutique accommodations. Although referred to as small by some, guest rooms at The High Line Hotel are well-appointed with C.O. Bigelow toiletries, stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs, windows with blackout shades and complimentary Wi-Fi access. There are no extra facilities on-site, but guests can make use of the hotel's complimentary bikes as well as arrange custom picnic baskets to take on their adventures around the city. This dog-friendly hotel also prides itself on being one of the first tablet, counter-less check-in hotels.
