About

The first thing you notice at Dream Downtown is the cool lobby, but the real draw is the rooftop club and pool. This Meatpacking District hotel leans mostly straight, with a Friday and Saturday night scene that carries into the early morning. Daytime pool access requires a reservation on weekends, so plan ahead. The 315 loft-style rooms are comfortable, though some find them on the smaller side. Free WiFi is included, and the location between Chelsea and the Meatpacking District puts you near plenty of nightlife. If you're looking for a gay-specific scene, this isn't it, but it's a solid choice if you want a central hotel with a lively atmosphere. Reviews note comfy beds and an easy layout. The Yelp rating of 2.7/5 suggests mixed experiences, but for short stays, it works.

Dream Downtown sits on 8th Ave in Chelsea, between the Meatpacking District and Chelsea proper. You're within walking distance of many gay bars and clubs, as well as the High Line and Hudson River Park.

From the community

The location is unbeatable, but the vibe leans mostly straight, and there's a popular late-night club on the rooftop deck. During the day, weekend pool access requires a reservation since it's also a busy scene. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for its size. Highlights include comfy beds, a cool lobby, and an easy-to-navigate layout.
