A World Unto Itself

Enough has been written about—and perhaps more written within—the Chelsea to satisfy history buffs around the world. It is the hotel’s uniquely rich past that has made it iconic.

Solid, sumptuous, eccentric yet beautiful, the Chelsea is a decadent palace of peculiarity.

The Spa at Hotel Chelsea

Perched on the penthouse level, the Spa at Hotel Chelsea is a light-filled oasis featuring a private terrace garden, offering a tranquil escape.

Café Chelsea

Inspired by the long tradition of French bistro dining, Café Chelsea offers a robust all-day menu, blending café classics with contemporary takes on traditional French dishes.

El Quijote
