13 Recently Opened New York City Hotels

Hilton’s new urban lifestyle brand Motto by Hilton recently inaugurated its first New York outpost in the Chelsea Arts District. Spanning 42 stories, the 374-key Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea was imagined by locally based Stonehill Taylor and draws influence from the hotel’s proximity to Broadway theaters. The hotel’s location on 24th Street also inspired the design firm to explore the theme of 24—resulting in nods to 24 hours in a day, 24-karat gold and chromium, and 24-bit color.
