West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District
Housed in a lone 19th-century, five-story town house with exposed brick and wood floors, this 12-room B&B on busy 23rd St is a Chelsea gem. Bought in 1998 and extensively renovated (with an elevator installed), the rooms are big and welcoming, with fanciful fabrics on big brass or poster beds and TVs held in huge armoires.
There’s an honor-system bar and wine and cheese from 4pm to 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays, plus a 2nd-floor, all-Victorian library that doubles as a breakfast room.
