The setting

300 W 22nd St places the hotel in Chelsea, in Midtown Manhattan, on a side street between the avenues. Penn Station is about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away in a straight line, useful for trains from Newark and long-distance rail. Times Square is about 1.2 miles (1.9 km), Grand Central Terminal about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) and the observation decks about 1.3 miles (2.1 km). The High Line runs along the West Side a short distance west of here.

Location and neighborhood

Chelsea and Hudson Yards share a stretch of the West Side that history left in layers. The street grid north of 14th Street follows the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, but older lanes near the river bend and wander. In the 19th century this was a working waterfront of docks, warehouses and rail yards, and the rowhouse blocks that went up beside them still stand, now holding galleries, design studios and schools. Hudson Yards is the newest layer, built over the rail yards at the northern end. Walking is the natural way to read the sequence, block by block, from stone to glass.

The district has two centers of gravity for a walker. The first is the grid of side streets between Sixth and Tenth Avenues, where the scale stays low: stoops, small storefronts, church spires. The second is the river, where Hudson River Park follows the old pier line and opens long views across to New Jersey. The High Line threads between them on an old freight viaduct, lifting a path above the traffic from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street. Pick one line, river or viaduct, and the rest of the district falls within a short walk of the other. Both are within easy walking of The Moore a Member of Design Hotels.

Getting there and around

The area sits close to the region's main gateways. The airports most travelers use lie around 14 miles (21.9 km) away, and a major rail station is around 1.3 miles (2.1 km) from the district center, so the final leg is short by subway, taxi or on foot. The subway runs 24 hours a day and is paid by tapping a contactless card or phone, with a weekly cap on spending; confirm current details with the MTA. Several lines cross the district and buses run along the avenues. Congestion pricing applies to vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street, so read the rules before driving in.

Nearby sights and food

Start with the elevated park on the former freight line, which enters the district at Gansevoort Street and ends at West 34th Street beside Hudson Yards; the first section opened in 2009 and entry is free. At the northern end, Hudson Yards rises over the rail yards, with the Vessel's staircases as its centerpiece and an observation deck on the 100th floor of one tower, an outdoor platform with a glass floor. Little Island and Hudson River Park sit on the water to the west, and the Intrepid Museum occupies a pier on the Hudson. Broadway theaters lie a short walk east; curtain times vary, so check the show.

The district eats well at every level. Bakeries and coffee bars line the side streets, and the covered market hall in Chelsea gathers food stalls under old factory brick, useful for a grazing lunch. Sit-down rooms cover Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Thai and modern American cooking, with pizza slices, tacos, ramen and bagels for faster meals. Near Hudson Yards the restaurants sit mostly in new buildings and lean toward steak, seafood and shared plates, while the older blocks keep neighborhood places that open early. Reserve ahead for dinner on weekends, when the Theater District crowd arrives.
