Chelsea, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Flaunting 360-degree views of the Big Apple, the Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC is smart, swanky, minimalist and full of sleek and fresh feels. Take the plunge into the rooftop heated pool whilst sipping a cocktail from the Lelie Rooftop bar. Go for the ultimate ‘treat yourself’ moment, and have an in-room massage. Watch the sunset fall over the Hudson River. Borrow one of the free bikes and go on an adventure through the urban jungle. Visit the luxury stores that surround this iconic hotel. Whatever way you spend your time here, you’re bound to feel spoilt rotten after.

It is a clean hotel but nothing special. Certainly is not value for money, it is expensive for being ordinary. There is no lounge to relax in, we were asked to leave the bar area because of a private function, where are guests expected to go! We had to pay $8 for a litre of water. Will not be returning nor recommending.

I stayed at this hotel for 20 nights and it was great. I'm a former New Yorker, and needed a hotel for an extended stay due to the new Air B & B laws in New York. The staff was the highlight!

My firm hosted an event on the rooftop last week and it was absolutely wonderful!! Gabriella was incredible to work with- we decided to do our event very last minute and she managed to make it perfect on such short notice. The space is gorgeous and the staff was great! We will definitely host another event here!

Awesome location for our needs and good sized rooms. Bathroom was also roomy and clean. We had a great view of the Hudson River, which we didn't expect. Another positive was that we were able to walk from Moynahan Station, which is not something everyone will want to do, but it is a nice walk if you want some fresh air after a train ride!

Awesome location for our needs and good sized rooms. Bathroom was also roomy and clean. We had a great view of the Hudson River, which we didn't expect. Another positive was that we were able to walk from Moynahan Station, which is not something everyone will want to do, but it is a nice walk if you want some fresh air after a train ride! The only downside was that I have been unable to retrieve a couple of articles of clothing which I left behind. I called less than 24 hours after check out and told the staff my room number and exactly where the clothes were and they said they didn't find anything in the room. That does not leave the best taste in my mouth. Obviously my mistake, but I would like to think people are honest enough to turn in items which guests might leave behind. Read less
