Nautical-themed hotel with porthole windows & Italian trattoria
"Designed in 1966 for the National Maritime Union, all rooms face westward, looking over the Hudson through five-foot porthole windows." - Mark Fedeli
"Converted from the 1968 National Maritime Union headquarters, this West Chelsea landmark leans into a nautical aesthetic—porthole windows, white-tiled facade, stylized Manhattan fabric headboards—and is known for celebrity sightings and a lively lower-level club scene; its 126 rooms feature custom beds and artist-fabric details, while the lobby mixes maritime murals and historic architectural elements." - Jennifer Flowers
"A former maritime union hall with cabin-like rooms, a 10,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, close to the High Line and Hudson River Park." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A former maritime union hall in Chelsea, The Maritime Hotel allows four-legged friends to check in with their owners. The cabin-like rooms with their signature porthole windows are cozy but efficient, with plenty of storage areas. The sprawling outdoor terrace—it’s 10,000 square feet—gives your pet plenty of space to run around." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Designed as the National Maritime Union headquarters in 1968 by modernist architect Albert Ledner — who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright — this nautically themed hotel has a boatload of charming details, from porthole windows to sweeping views over Chelsea. But perhaps even more unique is what awaits on the private white-tiled patios overlooking the Hudson River: the elusive metropolitan outdoor shower. Is there anything dreamier on a sticky summer day? There are a lot of things you can do outside in New York City; getting naked in public isn't a commonly accepted one. So, go ahead — this is your prime opportunity to strip in broad daylight in the middle of Manhattan." - Travel + Leisure Editors
