Hilton announced the opening of Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea, Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in New York City and the brand’s first new-build hotel in the portfolio. The 374-room hotel is centrally located in the Chelsea Arts District and offers guests an authentic neighborhood experience in one of Manhattan’s most dynamic areas.
“We are thrilled to welcome guests to Motto New York City Chelsea, a major milestone for this quickly growing brand and perfect addition to Hilton’s burgeoning Lifestyle category,” said Matt Schuyler, Hilton’s chief brand officer. “This hotel exemplifies what it means to be a lifestyle property — it is centrally located in one of the city’s most desirable areas, incorporates unique and modern design elements and encourages guests to connect with the neighborhood culture by providing them with authentic and locally-minded experiences.”
Located a short walk from iconic New York landmarks including the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park and the High Line, the 42-story hotel was designed by Stonehill Taylor, a renowned, local architecture and interior design firm, and is the latest addition to Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhood. The ideal launch pad for any New York City adventure, Motto Chelsea is near multiple transit stations and within walking distance of popular restaurants, boutiques and art galleries.
“Chelsea is a neighborhood unlike any other and the entire Motto Chelsea team is excited to welcome guests and locals to experience all this property has to offer,” said Bassim Ouachani, general manager. “Combining unmatched hospitality, sleek and smart design and a prime location, Motto Chelsea is sure to offer an authentic taste of all New York City has to offer.”
Motto Chelsea offers travel-sized rooms with a sleek, modern design that feature unobstructed views of the city and are equipped with everything guests need for an enjoyable and restful night’s sleep, including top-notch mattresses with sound-absorbing surroundings. The hotel offers 19 sets of connecting rooms, which give guests the ability to book up to three unique connecting rooms together.
Motto by Hilton was the pioneer of Confirmed Connecting Rooms by Hilton technology, so guests can not only take advantage of the brand’s unique room configurations, but also simplify coordinating travel for larger friend and family groups. Each room is equipped with smart technology for the ultimate in convenience. The Hilton Honors app allows guests to easily stream favorite shows, adjust the climate, set the mood through lighting preferences, and use white noise for a peaceful sleep.
Other room details include:
- Flexible sleeping setups, including a king Bunkie (bunk bed), a king flex bed that stows into the wall, a king bed, as well as double bunkies with four twin beds in one room.
- Design details to maximize the space, including built-in storage and conveniently located power outlets.
- Beautifully tiled bathrooms with premium bath amenities and high-quality shower heads, as well as illuminated vanity mirrors.

THPT Comment: Good to see this new brand of Hilton’s debut in this fab area of New York. Back end of 2019 there were plans announced to open several new Motto hotels, but the pandemic has understandably delayed that pace. This is their third in the US – with Washington DC and Philadelphia preceeding this opening in NY.
