The High Line Hotel, New York

The High Line Hotel - A historic seminary turned boutique hotel with Parisian-style courtyard and Intelligentsia coffee bar in Chelsea

Located in a converted 1895 Episcopal seminary, this 4-star New York City hotel sits on Manhattan's West 20th Street, just 50 yards from the High Line Park. The historic structure features collegiate Gothic architecture, cloistered gardens, and mature trees, complemented by vintage furnishings and antique rugs curated by Roman and Williams design firm. Sixty rooms come equipped with 46-inch flat-screen TVs, Jawbone MINIJAMBOX speakers, and minibars, while bathrooms include C.O. Bigelow amenities. The property houses Intelligentsia Coffee's first NYC location in the lobby, serving pour-overs, espresso drinks, and local pastries, with the space transforming into a cocktail bar offering frozen Negronis and Venetian Slushes in the evenings. A gated Parisian-style courtyard with gas lamps and lush gardens provides outdoor space. The High Line Hotel stands 6 minutes from Chelsea Market, 10 minutes from Meatpacking District's shops and restaurants, and within walking distance to dozens of Chelsea art galleries.
