Sophisticated rooms with vintage decor, loaner bikes, and a garden courtyard
"The area surrounding the High Line is so unrecognizable from recent decades that many lament the loss of the neighborhood’s former grit and industrial vibe. But if you’re feeling nostalgic, stay at Chelsea’s High Line Hotel, a red brick building built in 1895 as a Collegiate Gothic Seminary. While there’s nothing rough about it, you may still feel you’ve been shuttled into the past. Rooms look out onto the High Line or the hotel’s own garden, and are treated with hardwood floors, idiosyncratic furniture sourced from the likes of Brimfield Antique Show, and reproduced 19th-century English wallpaper. Guests are encouraged to take one of the hotel’s Shinola bicycles for a spin or grab a latte at the lobby’s Intelligentsia bar. The hotel may be especially appealing to writers, given the building’s history (it once belonged to The Night Before Christmas author Clement Clarke Moore), the abundant presence of old typewriters, and the property’s claim to the city’s fastest Wi-Fi." - Jessica Sulima
"A vintage-leaning Chelsea refuge, The High Line Hotel offers antiques, reproduced English wallpaper, a comfortable 60-room inventory, and an on-site Intelligentsia café—making it an easy base for morning walks along the High Line, Little Island, and neighborhood galleries." - Amy Louise Bailey Amy Louise Bailey Amy Louise Bailey is a content creator and media specialist.

"The sixty-room High Line Hotel is a slice of the past within Chelsea's of-the-moment gallery district—the gothic red brick building it occupies was a cloistered Collegiate Gothic Seminary built in 1895, and where Clement C Moore penned The Night Before Christmas. Rooms look out onto the city's decade-old elevated park, the High Line, and are outfitted estate-style, with gothic moldings, hardwood floors, and antiques. Guests are encouraged to borrow the hotel's bicycles to get around."
"The area surrounding the High Line is so unrecognizable from recent decades that many lament the loss of the neighborhood’s former grit and industrial vibe. But if you’re feeling nostalgic, stay at West Chelsea’s High Line Hotel, a gothic red brick building built in 1895 as a Collegiate Gothic Seminary. While there’s nothing rough about it, you may well feel you’ve been shuttled into the past. Rooms look out onto the High Line (the former train track reimagined as a public green space) or the hotel’s own garden, and are treated with hardwood floors, idiosyncratic furniture sourced from the likes of Brimfield Antique Show, and reproduced 19th-century English wallpaper. Guests are encouraged to take one of the hotel’s Shinola bicycles for a spin or grab a latte at the lobby’s Intelligentsia bar.
