New York Bed and Breakfast in the Heart of Manhattan

The Inn on 23rd is a family-owned and -operated bed and breakfast in the heart of Manhattan's Chelsea District. The Inn offers travelers a very special way to enjoy New York City with all the conveniences of a fine hotel in a setting one might expect in Martha's Vineyard or Vermont, plus the added bonus of an intimate, personal touch.

Fourteen one-of-a-kind guest rooms are on five floors, each accessible by elevator. Each comfortable and charming accommodation has its own special theme carried out in the decor and artwork. All provide new private baths, air conditioning, and pillow-top queen or king-size mattresses, which assure you of a peaceful night's sleep and sweet dreams. Double-glazed windows promise peace and quiet, black-out window shades keep out the harsh sunlight, and white-noises machines lull you to sleep.

Guest rooms are fully equipped with your convenience in mind, offering two-line phones with voice mail and data ports, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, alarm clocks, and bath amenities. Other items, such as baby cribs, VCRs, and CD players, are available upon request. Local calls, faxes, and photocopying services are all complimentary. There is an honor bar open 24 hours a day with choice liquor, beer, wine, and soda. A microwave oven, water cooler, and full-size guest refrigerator with ice in the freezer are also available.

Guests enjoy a bright and sunny library to read, play cards, and enjoy breakfast daily. Your morning meal includes fresh baked goods, fresh fruit salad, granola, yogurt, cereals, and hard-boiled eggs, accompanied by fresh orange juice, specialty coffee, and a choice of teas. The Inn on 23rd also hosts a wine and cheese reception every Friday and Saturday, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

In 1998, the Fisherman family fully renovated and restored a 19th-century townhouse preserving the exposed brick on some of the walls, installing modern bathrooms, and adding an elevator. They transformed the home into an urban B&B with a mix of hotel conveniences and the feel of a country inn. Family heirlooms, antiques, photographs, and an eclectic art collection from Annette's former gallery enliven the interior.

The innkeepers are always available to give suggestions, help out with special requests and recommend sightseeing venues and restaurants, and provide free passes to most major New York City museums. Chelsea is such a lovely, dynamic, and diverse district, and your hosts are proud to be part of its revival.
