Chelsea Pines Inn

New York City, New York.

One of the most popular gay & lesbian Inns in the city, but everyone is welcome here. Chelsea Pines is charmingly decorated with original vintage film posters from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Chelsea Pines Inn is located in a five story walk-up row house that was built as a private home in the 1850's. In the 1980's, the building was transformed into a charming gay owned and operated hotel, where everyone has always been welcome.

As of March 2007, Chelsea Pines Inn is a completely new experience. A new reception area, breakfast lounge, and a wider range of accommodations, including a number of upgraded guest rooms, will make your visit here even more enjoyable. As always, our rates include local telephone calls and WiFi, and our expanded continental breakfast.

Chelsea Pines Inn was originally built as a private home back when 14th Street was the northern end of the city. Our building has gone through many exciting changes over the years. As the City grew around us it became a fashionable rooming house and was used as the setting in Cool Air, a short story about air conditioning, written well before air conditioning was invented, by the celebrated horror author H.P. Lovecraft. (Just as a note, Chelsea Pines Inn has central air.) Eventually 317 West Fourteenth Street was home base to sailors in the Merchant Marine during the early 20th century, when this area was a working port.

In 1983 the late Sheldon Post and his lover Jay Lesiger purchased the building and created Chelsea Pines Inn. Today, Chelsea Pines Inn features unique rooms, each one dedicated to a "Celluloid Hero" from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Chelsea Pines Inn is a smoke-free hotel.
