EuroCheapo Review print this page

If hotels can be reduced to pie charts summing up their main aesthetic points of reference, the Chelsea Pines circle would be divided as follows: 40 percent European cinema, 30 percent gay cultural icons, and 30 percent New York townhouse chic.

The 26 rooms are done in neutral shades, though copious wall posters keep things bright. It's not a cutting-edge hotel in terms of décor, but everything is clearly well-tended. The best deal at the Chelsea Pines is probably the tiny single room, which can function as a double for those unfussy about space.

Other perks include a small backyard smoking patio, a bright atrium of a breakfast nook (where an expanded Continental breakfast is served) and, as of our most recent visit, a brand-new business center, access to which is free of charge.

Though the Chelsea Pines has historically been a gay-oriented hotel with a mostly gay clientele, it’s currently about as likely to shelter European families as gay couples.

Overseeing the aesthetic mish-mash at the Chelsea Pines is a house cat named Charlie, who, all things being equal, is probably taking a nap at this very moment.

About the Chelsea Pines Inn neighborhood

Bordered by the West Village to the south and the Garment District to the north, Chelsea boasts a staggering concentration of art galleries. In addition, it's home to the Dia Center for the Arts, the Chelsea Art Museum, and the Joyce Theater—a Mecca for modern dance lovers.

Chelsea is also the epicenter of New York's gay scene, with countless businesses, ranging from nightclubs to yoga centers, catering to its vibrant gay community. Hip restaurants, swanky boutiques, and bars abound. However, at its heart, Chelsea is a residential area, characterized by long streets lined with century-old brownstones.

By the water you'll find the massive Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment Complex. Along with the usual gym facilities, Chelsea Piers houses an ice skating rink, golf club, bowling alley, and the city's best indoor rock-climbing wall.
