The prime location, amazing rooftop pool, panoramic rooftop views, buzzy vibe and all encompassing facilities. It’s an urban resort in the concrete jungle.
What is there to do in the area?
There's really something for everyone - the hotel is just a short walk to the art galleries of Chelsea for those seeking some culture, the charming eateries of the West Village and iconic elevated High Line Park which is a must when visiting NY.
Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally?
In addition to the all-day menu at The Chester, guests can enjoy light bites at the hotel’s Plunge Rooftop. 24 hour in room room dining is also available.
Which are your most popular room types, and why?
Superior Room, Grand Deluxe and Manhattan Suite are our most popular room types.

The Manhattan Suite is great for that special occasion.

Other Reviews
Gansevoort Meatpacking: Review
By day, you can soak up the sun, and the Hudson River panorama, on a lounger by the 45-foot heated open-air pool. After dark, the wraparound terrace bar becomes a deejayed outdoor party with a glittering Manhattan backdrop. If you prefer a quieter night, admire the view through ample glass in your room—many feature contemporary bay windows or mini balconies. When it’s time to turn in, electronic blackout blinds descend at the flip of a switch by your bed. The guest quarters recently received a glam makeover that brought fuchsia, plum and metallic accents, and Studio 54–inspired photography that plays on the hotel’s reputation as a party hub. Plush feather beds atop excellent mattresses and marble bathrooms—stocked with Cutler toiletries—amp up the luxury.
