Bright quarters in a hip hotel offering a gym, Italian dining & a cocktail lounge, plus city views. A block from 28 Street subway station and in the vibrant Chelsea neighborhood, this trendy hotel is 8 minutes on foot from the iconic Empire State Building, and a 7-minute stroll from the restaurants and karaoke bars in Korea Town. Bright rooms with an industrial-chic vibe feature free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Some have bunk beds, and/or floor-to-ceiling windows with city views. Suites add separate living rooms. There's a hip cafe, a sophisticated Italian restaurant and a bar. A swanky cocktail lounge on the 35th floor has panoramic city views. Other amenities include meeting space and a 24-hour gym.
"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
