A lobby designed to feel like a living room and streamlined lux guestrooms give one the immediate sense of stepping into an urban retreat that is more about experience than flash, more about home than hotel.

Believing that the coziest spaces always present warm tones of woods and velvets, the hotel’s designers augment a rich neutral pallet with off-white linen-textured walls, wide-planked oak-wood flooring, rich teak wall paneling, and furniture with brass inlays. Windows are draped in a luxe, modern, deep-charcoal velvet, framing plush fabric headboards and desk chairs upholstered in gem-colored mohair and velvet fabrics.

Architecture Untouched treasure

Named after writer and scholar, Clement Clarke Moore, who developed Chelsea in the 1800s, the building exterior perfectly represents the iconic city architecture of the past.

An intimate building at one with the community that embraces it, The Moore greets guests with a classic façade that has deliberately been left untouched yet, at the same time, restores a sense of luxury to the structure. Here, an intimate setting with a welcoming flow means that one steps into a comfortable living area that feels more like a neighborhood gathering place with a coffee shop than a lobby. The hotel presents understated yet inviting spaces that are warm, bright, and welcoming.
