Located a short walk from icons like the Flatiron Building and the High Line the Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea Hotel is the latest addition to one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
The 374-key property occupies a new, 42-storey structure by Stonehill Taylor, a leading New York City-based firm that also designed the hotel’s interiors. As one of the first of Hilton’s new Motto brand properties to open, this project sets a standard for those to come. It incorporates the brand’s lively and spacious food and beverage venues with streamlined guestrooms that have been carefully engineered and crafted to fulfil every guest need featuring clever touches within a minimal footprint.
Arriving at the hotel, the building is set back from the street and the entire frontage is devoted to a glass-covered plaza accented by an array of brilliant white steel columns and beams spanning the plaza’s entire 75ft width. The plaza’s black stone paving and east wall contrast with its white beams and columns, creating a yin/yang relationship. A 32ft marquee cantilevered over the sidewalk announces the hotel’s presence and leads to the striking “Motto green” entry doors.
Public and amenity spaces, including reception, lounges, an all-day restaurant, and bar areas, make up the first two floors. An outdoor food and beverage terrace can be found on the second level, and a fitness room is located on the fourth. Guest rooms run-up to the 41st floor.
