Hotel Spotlight: Hôtel Americano, Chelsea New York City

Posted by: Melissa Maynard

In one of Manhattan’s hippest neighborhoods, find a modern hotel with artistic sophistication right in the heart of the Chelsea. Hôtel Americano, located between the High Line and Hudson River is the perfect choice for your next visit to New York City. The 56-room hotel used to be a parking garage before Grupo Habita transformed the 10-story boutique hotel calling on award-winning architect Enrique Norten. The hotel completely stands out as the entire building is wrapped in metal—and is the perfect urban escape for your NYC adventures. Hôtel Americano’s unique minimalist room designs, two restaurants, two basement bars and a café, not to mention, their rooftop pool (that transforms to a hot tub come winter time) has all of the world class sophistication you could want in a hotel. Visit many of Chelsea’s amazing art galleries by day or explore the High Line–an elevated rail line that has been transformed into a park and is free to the public where you will get inspired not only by nature but by lots of street art. Live like a local, even for a day and check out one of Hôtel Americano’s bicycles to explore even more of Chelsea. Check out the hotel at hotel-americano.com. Enjoy many of their hotels, including the 17th Century Colonial Palace that we stayed at in Mexico City—Downtown Mexico. To learn more about Grupo Habita’s luxe hotels, visit www.grupohabita.mx.
