Chelsea Pines Inn

If a big hotel isn’t your style, this cozy, 23-room urban oasis just might do the trick. The Chelsea Pines Inn staff is famous for its sincere hospitality—and the always-full bowl of chocolates.  Located on busy 14th Street, the inn is situated perfectly for walking the High Line, checking out the Whitney and hopping on a subway to explore elsewhere. Fuel up on a lovely breakfast, which includes the proprietor’s homemade bread and fresh fruit.
