"We've come to expect certain things from Moxy hotels: impeccable design that incorporates elements from its surrounding neighborhood, great food and drink options, and delightfully low price tags. Moxy NYC Chelsea has all of these elements and then some, standing 35 stories tall in Manhattan's Flower District. Just past the industrial facade, with its signature pink-neon sign, guests are greeted by an overgrown flower shop and lush conservatory, with light-dappled lounges and seating areas found throughout the hotel. The 350 rooms are airy with a dash of Italian romance, with floor-to-ceiling windows, modern tapestries in the place of headboards, and foldable furniture that would look at home at an incredibly fancy outdoor picnic. The property also has dining options from morning through midnight, from Café d’Avignon, an all-day café and bakery to glass-enclosed rooftop lounge The Fleur Room." - CNT Editors
"Feroce is in the Moxy Hotel from the people behind Tao, but there are no Champagne sparklers or life-sized animal statues here. That’s because this Italian spot is also a collaboration with the owner of Antica Pesa and has more in common with that low-key-by-Tao-standards restaurant in Williamsburg. Feroce may not be a destination for its production value, but it’s a good place to keep in mind if you’re looking to have an upscale dinner near Penn Station. Focus your attention and stomach space on the housemade pastas, like the casarecce with perfectly cooked bites of octopus. During the summer, sit at an outdoor table in the small courtyard and drink any of the four types of negronis on the menu." - matt tervooren
"Focused on smart, space-saving comfort across 350 rooms—with foldaway furniture, rain showers, fast free Wi‑Fi and floor-to-ceiling windows—the hotel elevates small-room living with a 35th-floor rooftop bar that offers 360-degree skyline views and a botanical design nodding to the surrounding Flower District." - Billie Cohen, Lyndsey Matthews
"The Chelsea location in Manhattan earned a Safe Spaces accreditation after staff completed comprehensive, elective training; the property provides in-room maps with standalone LGBTQ+ listings, co-branded initiatives (including a craft beer), workout classes led by LGBTQ+ instructors, and free event space for community groups. Its four-berth bunk-bed rooms serve as an affordable, group-oriented option that fills up during Pride weekends and fosters safety in numbers for younger travelers and chosen families." - Mark Ellwood
"Hotels with bunk bed options to maximize space, targeting a young audience but also attracting families and groups." - Michaela Bechler
