Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea
About this hotel
Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea is designed for the modern urban traveller who prioritises location and functionality over sprawling floor space. Situated in the creative pulse of Chelsea, this hotel strips away the superfluous, offering 'micro-rooms' that prove compact design can be high-end. The aesthetic is contemporary and purposeful, catering to solo travellers, groups of friends, and design-conscious visitors who prefer to be out exploring rather than housebound in a traditional hotel suite. The hotel’s heart is its vibrant lobby, which functions as a flexible co-working lounge—a natural home base for digital nomads or those needing a quiet spot between meetings. With the High Line’s elevated greenery just a block away and the iconic stalls of Chelsea Market within easy reach, the city is effectively an extension of your living space. For those travelling in groups or seeking smart solutions, the room configurations are particularly clever. Options range from standard queen Motto Rooms and the versatile Motto Suite to Bunk Rooms, which offer a practical layout for friends sharing a trip. Whether you are grabbing a quick caffeine fix at the lobby’s coffee bar, enjoying a meal at Lulla, or heading out to explore the surrounding galleries and boutiques, the Motto experience is defined by efficiency. It is a base camp tailored for the high-energy, fast-paced life of Manhattan, perfect for those who want their accommodation to match the pace of the city.
Why we love it
Chelsea Location
Located in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant districts, the hotel puts you seconds away from the High Line’s scenic urban trails and the culinary variety of Chelsea Market. It is an ideal starting point for those who want to immerse themselves in the local art, dining, and gallery scene.
Flexible Co-working Hub
The hotel features a communal lobby lounge integrated with co-working spaces. This area serves as a lively hub where guests can work, socialise, or plan their day, effectively providing a versatile third-space that bridges the gap between private room and public city life.
Cleverly Designed Micro-rooms
The 'micro-room' concept is an exercise in thoughtful spatial engineering. By stripping back bulky furniture, the hotel provides a highly efficient environment where foldaway desks and clever storage ensure that every square inch of the room serves a purpose, keeping the space uncluttered and functional.
Bunk Room Options for Groups
Whether you are travelling as a pair or a small group, the varied room categories offer real flexibility. The availability of Bunk Rooms is a standout feature for friends travelling together, providing a budget-conscious and social alternative to booking multiple expensive hotel rooms.
On-site Espresso Bar
You do not need to leave the building for a solid start to your morning. The on-site coffee and espresso bar offers a convenient pitstop for high-quality caffeine, allowing you to fuel up quickly before heading out to tackle a busy day of sightseeing or business meetings.
Fitness Centre Access
The hotel ensures you can maintain your health routine even while travelling. The included fitness centre is well-equipped for those looking to keep up with their exercise schedule, providing a space to stay active before or after a long day of walking around New York City.
