About

The Maritime Hotel is best suited for travelers who want a unique, design-forward stay in Chelsea with a nautical twist, steps from the Meatpacking District. Originally built in 1966 as the National Maritime Union headquarters, this white-tiled landmark retains its porthole windows and cruise-ship-inspired rooms (compact but well-appointed). The lobby features a 16th-century stone fireplace and a nautical-themed mural, while the rooftop bar and outdoor patio offer prime people-watching on Ninth Avenue. It's a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight crowd, and pets are welcome.

The hotel is open 24/7 with 24-hour room service, free WiFi, and a fitness center. The attached patio restaurant draws locals, and there's a well-regarded sushi spot in the basement. Rooms run small, so pack light. For a night out, you're a short walk from gay bars in Chelsea and the West Village. If you're willing to splurge a little, the nearby YOTEL New York offers a different modern vibe with similar walkability.

The Maritime Hotel sits in Chelsea, just two blocks from the Meatpacking District, surrounded by galleries, nightlife, and the High Line.

From the community

“Very Different; Nice; Great Location”

The hotel is quite pleasant, with rooms styled like cruise ship cabins. They are somewhat compact but still appealing. The employees were fantastic, and there's an excellent outdoor restaurant connected. The basement houses one of the finest sushi spots I have ever visited.
