The High Line Hotel, located at 20th Street and 10th Avenue, is a great spot to relax with a coffee, tea, or snack, and it’s a convenient place to use the restroom, too. 🏨 History & Background •Constructed in 1895 as student housing (dormitories) for the General Theological Seminary, the building was designed in Collegiate Gothic style by architect Charles C. Haight. It replaced an apple orchard once owned by Clement Clarke Moore, the author of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”. •The land had earlier been part of Moore’s estate before being donated to the Episcopal Church in the 1820s. •Financial pressures led the Seminary to sell this building in 2012; it was transformed into The High Line Hotel, which officially opened in May 2013, under the ownership of Brodsky Organization and MCR Hotels. The interiors were curated by Roman & Williams. 🧱 Architecture & Design •The hotel retains its red-brick gothic façade, stained glass, and ornate fireplaces, preserving its original character. •Interiors are richly furnished with vintage and antique pieces, typewriters, rotary phones, heirloom rugs, Tiffany lamps, handpicked from fairs and historic estates to evoke eclectic Americana with European elegance. •Guestrooms feature restored Western Electric Model 202 rotary phones, terrariums, and even embossers stamped with unique symbols discovered during restoration, and rooms are layered in 19th‑century English wallpaper designs. 📍 Location & Cross Streets •Located at 180 Tenth Avenue, at the corner of West 20th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. •Despite its name, the hotel sits across the street from the High Line Park, not directly on it, within the campus of the still‐active General Theological Seminary. ✨ Fun Facts •The site forms part of the original apple orchard that inspired the nickname “Big Apple” for New York, thanks to Clement Clarke Moore’s estate. •It hosts Hoffman Hall, a grand, wood paneled event space built in 1899, now used for weddings and receptions up to 200 people . •The hotel is celebrated for its Wi-Fi, which they jokingly claim to be the fastest in NYC, ideal for writers and remote workers amid vintage typewriters lining the lobby. •Events held here have included the premiere of Penny Dreadful and industry presentations by People Magazine. ☕ The Coffee Shop: Intelligentsia at The High Line Hotel •Inside the lobby, the hotel features a branch of Intelligentsia Coffee, open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, offering free Wi‑Fi and patio seating in the courtyard. •It’s a favorite local spot for high quality espresso, pour overs, and pastries, drawing both hotel guests and neighborhood clientele. In warmer weather, they operate a coffee cart in the courtyard and even serve cocktails in the evening under the name “Pinhook”. •Reviews note its quiet, European‑style ambiance and excellent beverages, perfect for a cozy morning or afternoon break
