The High Line Hotel

The High Line Hotel is the most intimately scaled and design-celebrated independent boutique hotel in Chelsea, a property within the Gothic Revival buildings of the former General Theological Seminary on West 23rd Street whose cobblestone courtyard, original stained glass, and deliberately unhurried atmosphere have made it the most architecturally distinctive and quietly beloved small hotel in the neighborhood. The Chelsea location places groups within easy walking distance of the High Line elevated park, the galleries of the West Chelsea arts district, and the Hudson River waterfront, and the seminary courtyard setting creates a sense of cloistered calm that is genuinely unusual for a hotel this close to the energy of Midtown Manhattan. For planners booking New York programs for small groups who want a hotel with exceptional design provenance, a historic setting unlike anything else in the city, and a neighborhood whose cultural geography is among the most interesting in Manhattan, The High Line Hotel is the most singular and characterful boutique option in Chelsea. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Beekman and Wythe Hotel Brooklyn.
