Cambria Hotel New York - Chelsea

Urban Comfort Just Steps From the Stage

Modern and welcoming, the Cambria Hotel New York - Chelsea offers a laid-back yet stylish retreat in the heart of Manhattan. Nestled on West 28th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, you're within walking distance of some of NYC’s biggest entertainment venues and transportation hubs. The vibe is cool and convenient — with a rooftop bar, city views, and well-equipped rooms that feel like a home base in the city.

Each room features thoughtful touches like microwave, fridge, coffee machine, and free WiFi — perfect for pre-show snacks or post-show wind-downs. With a 24-hour front desk and fitness center, the hotel has everything you need for a music-filled New York visit.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers — you're only a few blocks from Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, and other major venues. That means no stress getting to shows or back late at night. The area is lively but not overwhelming, and rooms are surprisingly quiet thanks to soundproofing and smart design. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to relax before or after the show. Bonus: Penn Station nearby means easy late-night train or subway rides.
