Last September while in New York for Fashion Week we ended up seeking cold beverages and fuel (aka flatbread) at Alta Linea—a sweet little spot on the patio in front of The High Line Hotel in Chelsea. It has since become one of my favorite places in New York to stop by during the warm months with its strung lights overhead, adorable waiters and incredibly refreshing Frozen Negroni cocktails. So when we were back in the city after spending a week in The Hamptons I took the opportunity to actually stay at the charming boutique hotel. It didn’t disappoint. A feeling of old school New York mixed with a European touch has made it a favorite for me in the Big Apple. Here’s a look at the gem that you must check out.
{ A vintage truck that serves Intelligentsia coffee all day; bikes to take off on around the city. } { The lobby was a mix of rich leather seats, marble and an old type writer that you could tap away on. } { Quirky elements gives it a homey feel. I loved this wall of paintbrushes and old objects. } { What more do you need besides a comfortable bed and coffee? This bed frame and wallpaper by the way was so good. Check out another picture here that I took on instagram. } { Lastly, Chelsea has become one of my favorite parts of New York. There’s so much around you and The High Line for a morning walk or run is right there. I felt like we were right in the middle of everything, uptown and downtown were never too far away. }
