Maritime Hotel

This is a review for the hotel room itself on a Saturday night. I do get criticized for being an old grandma at times bc I dont stay up voluntarily anymore so my expectations are probably not that reasonable.
But, if you want to sleep on a saturday night, stay somewhere else. I was on the PH floor and could still hear and feel the music from the basement until 3am or so. Earplugs provided did not help. If you party downstairs on a Saturday night obviously this is the ideal place for you to sleep afterwards.
Interiors are adorable and look like a ship cabin :)

Stayed at the Maritime Hotel over the weekend, and had a very pleasant experience! For years I had passed by this hotel numerous times, but never had the opportunity to stay since I live in Jersey. Since we were celebrating a friend’s birthday late on Saturday evening, it was only smart to stay in the city overnight so that we wouldn’t drink and drive home. Maritime Hotel was affordably priced when my bf and I were looking for hotels, so we obviously pulled the trigger.
This nautical hotel is like being on the set of The Aquatic Life of Steve Zissou. The lobby area is lush, modern, warm and inviting. The rooms were small in size but with it’s curved corners and pocket drawer handles, felt like I was in a cabin on ship, minus rocking on water. The theme was integrated in from the round windows to the ground level floor where the walls were paneled with floor to ceiling wainscoting.
The hotel had everything we needed plus more!
— Free wireless in rooms
— Comfy mattress and pillows
— DVD player in the room
— Bigelow Toiletries
— Marvis Toothpaste; any hotel with free toothpaste is always a plus!
— decently equipped fitness room (with free Evian water)!
— caddycorner to Chelsea Market!
The only downside to our stay was that it was difficult to shut and secure our room door. I felt like I was playing tug of war every time I left my room. Other than that, I would definitely considering staying here again.
NOTE: The entrance is on 16^th street right after the TAO façade and often missed. It’s a super busy street corner, with a lot of bars and lounges one after another

Stayed here over the weekend for our anniversary and had the best time! The hotel is so pretty. The décor is nautical and mid century. The lobby is so stunning with velvet couches, marble, books and a fireplace. The front desk girls look so cute with their Breton shirts on. The maritime keeps up with appearances and it does them well. The room was awesome! 9^th floor was a great floor to be on. The décor was beautiful and you really feel like you are on a vintage cruise. Interpols «take you on a cruise» should be the theme song here. There are lots of amenities and everything is top of the line. The mini bar has clicquot, diptyque and Kiki de Montparnasse stuff. C. O Bigelow stuff for the bathroom and awesome Marvis toothpaste. The bathroom is so pretty and bright and the shower is really nice. La Sirena downstairs is amazing and you are in the center of all the fun stuff to do. The dream is right next door and it is rowdy and not our scene. Maritime is for chill adults and dream is for drunk, horny tourists. Anyway, the front desk and staff are absolutely stellar. Helpful and so nice. Make sure to book ahead for a bike and enjoy your complimentary wine! Can’t wait to come back for another staycation!

I love the concept, I love the restaurants and bars it has had over the years, I love the way it smells… I love everything about the place Mike refers to as «the cruise ship hotel.» I hope to try the new Mario Battali restaurant which is replacing La Bottega soon.

Loved Loved staying here! It’s a 4 star hotel. Not sure why they aren’t given 5 considering this is NYC and some of the other hotels that are 5 stars don’t even compare. This place doesn’t photograph well. Probably because of the very dim lights and round ship like Windows. You just have to be there in person or just trust me on it. Staff is super friendly.
If you’re looking to be taken care of and catered to in NYC and have accommodations to reflect that then this is the place for you. They thought of everything. They even had umbrella in your room in case it rains for your use. They physically update the weather forecast in the elevator and post it neatly. Ear plugs by the bedsides in case you need help drowning out the New York traffic. But I didn’t need them and slept like a baby. Lots of great activities and restaurants around. The room service is from a hip restaurant right downstairs called TAO.
The bedrooms are beautiful. And the bathroom as well. Well furnished and lots of extras for you to use. I didn’t watch tv but they have great selection of prime movies and channels.
And every day from 5 to 8pm they will serve you complimentary wine (red or white) and cheese! (Great selection, Gouda, Brie, cheddar, you name it). Also have morning breakfast.
Will stay here again!!!

Now my favorite hotel in the world. Calm, beautiful, clean, with unique personality and close attention to details. The rooms have beautiful décor with rich wood walls and velvet panel curtains. I loved the bathrooms with thick marble sinks and glossy tiled walls. Diptyque candles, lovely C.O. Bigelow toiletries refreshed daily, soft full white towels, and perfectly plump but not too hard down pillows. Staying in January, the stately cracking fireplace in the lobby is another beautiful touch. The Chelsea Market is across the street for the best casual meals, Google offices across the street, super easy access to anything. The staff were kind and helpful. I kinda wish I could move in.

Outstanding service. As soon as you step into the building, your mind is put at ease, very clean. Free bottle of chianti. Bed sheets were pressed. Room view was great.

This was the first time that I stayed at the Maritime and this will be my last. My first night came complete with the sweet lullaby of Calvin Harris and thunderous bass bumping against my wall until 3am. The hotel is located next door to Tao nightclub and the noise was unbearable. Ear plugs, pillows, nothing muffled the noise. I was located on the 2^nd floor, so there’s a chance that the higher floors didn’t experience what I did. This is clearly an ongoing problem with the hotel because the room came equipped with a handy-​dandy massive sound muffler that came in the shape of a large, heavy, and awkward round mat that I am supposed to shove in the window. Like this is normal. I couldn’t help but laugh as I struggled to lift this heavy cushion-​like object and wedge into the window sill. The best part is that it did nothing. I finally called to request a room change around 2am, but they were sold out. They said they would call and ask the club to turn down their bass as if they were a rowdy next door neighbor. They’re a club. Of course they didn’t.
On the positive side, I love the design of the hotel and appreciate the funky, yet tasteful nautical theme throughout. The rooms were small (it’s New York. I get it), yet clean, comfortable, and stylish. I loved the complimentary continental breakfast until 11am and the staff was friendly and as accommodating as possible.
I wish I had a better experience overall. But will I be returning to the Maritime? Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.

I pretty much stay here whenever I come to NYC since it is near everything I come to NYC for. The beds are comfortable, the climate control works well (though once I had to call for assistance — which arrived quickly) and the shower is awesome.
As some have said, the hallways seem a little dark, but I don’t usually spend a lot of time in the hallways, so that doesn’t affect my opinion significantly.
The last few times I have been here, the bar/​restaurant area outside has been closed (either for construction or weather), so I have no complaints about that. The first time I was here it was disturbing (I was on a lower floor, too, and especially close to the noise) but the earplugs helped that quite a bit.
So, overall, I have NO complaints.

I’ve never been here but my boyfriend went for work. Thank you Rachel at the front desk for helping with my long distance surprise. You went above and beyond expectations!
If you want to stay at a hotel that cares, this is a good one.
Also my boyfriend has said his room is nice and is happy with his stay.
Thank you Maritime Hotel and Thank you Rachel!

Stayed here on our last visit to NYC. Love the nautical décor of the hotel. Rooms are standard size for NYC, we had a great view on an upper floor. The hotel and room were clean, loved the CO Bigelow bath products. We love the location in Chelsea, across from Chelsea Market, subway just around the corner. Will definitely return!

Not cheap, but really nice hotel.
+ Excellent location (very close to the subway station) and great district (full of markets and restaurants).
+ Small though comfy and clean rooms and great noise isolation!
+ Caring staff– once I left a do-​not-​disturb plate on the door for 2 days and they left me a message that for safety reasons they will check me the next day in any case :)).
Overall, nice impression!

Our favorite staycation design hotel in NYC, I can’t say enough good things about this place. The hotel itself is impeccably designed, the team working there were unbelievably friendly, and the option of getting Tao as room service (10 min wait!) makes it a total winner. Additionally, right now there is a complimentary wine and cheese platter in their cabana plus a free continental breakfast in the morning. We’ve already booked in our next stay.

3.5 Stars. Nice Hotel on the edge of the Meat Packing district. Professional staff, moderate sized rooms, climate control, in room movies, mini bar, Free WiFi, small fitness center. Best part was the room service from Tao. Would definitely recommend as a mid-​price hotel in one of my favorite NYC neighborhoods.

Great hotel — great staff. Love the locations, right across from Chelsea Market and close to the High Line.

As my husband says, this hotel looks like Mad Men threw up all over it. And I mean that in the best possible way. The hobby décor is EXQUISITE! (See my photo)

Not from NYC but travel for work a few times a year. Stayed at the Maritime based on a recommendation.
Sure glad I did. Staff is incredible. Helpful and really goes out of their way.
Love the style of the room and the window. Very cool. Shower is amazing. And a really well stocked minibar with decent pricing.
I will be back many times for sure. These guys know how to run a hotel.

I specifically love the round windows and the perfect ambiance of this place. If you are looking for a peaceful stay, check out this hotel. There is a breathtaking fireplace in the lobby; a perfect spot to reflect for a bit while your soul is drenched in warmth. The beds are facing the window so you are able to catch a view of the clouds floating by in the sky above. The shower head was perfect and the pillows, well, you just have to see for yourself.
This place gets a 5 star review for winning me over.

Great location, super beds, amazing showers, killer mini bar. Loved this space.

First off, I will say that I loved staying here however I will never stay here again do the behavior of the Manager. Two days after I checked out, I realized I had left a bag of shoes in the room. When I called to get assistance in finding this bag she was EXTREMELY unhelpful and tried zero avenues to help me find it. Because I could not remember the exact room number I was in (I said 206 instead of 209) and I was a little off with the spelling of the last name on the room she lied to me and told me there had been no bag of shoes found. Even after I described in detail what exactly was in the bag she still refused to help me. I felt helpless and very sad that this person, working in the hospitality industry, was putting in absolutely no effort to help me.
Thank god I was able to get the exact spelling of my friends last name on the room eventually. She is Indian and with her friends she spells it differently than the way it is spelled on her credit card. When I showed up to the hotel to finally claim my own belongings armed with everything but my social security card in order to get it, the female manager took it upon herself to scold ME when I got there.
I was beyond shocked at this customer service treatment. I work as an Executive Assistant for a hedge fund manager in San Francisco and I book hotels for him and his friends on a daily basis. Because of this woman’s rude and inhumane treatment towards me I will never book him anywhere near this hotel.

Odd place but we enjoyed it
Nautical theme with dark narrow halls, rooms set up like cabin rooms with port windows and all.
Excellent location near Chelsea Market, quick walk to subway, easy access and walkable to so many great parts of NYC.
Connecting lounge/​resturant area is great for grabbing a drink with friends, playing some pool and just to relax in the city.
Good for couples and friends but not a family place.
Great price for location and amenitiies
full review of my trip to NYC at

This is a happening place to stay in the meatpacking district of New York City. You’re only a 20 minute walk from Greenwich and the West Village and about 20 – 25 minutes to Times Square. We found taxis to be about 5−15mins in either direction, depending on the traffic ($ 9-​$ 12).
The Maritime is definitely a place to stay as a couple or for people who like to be with the action. It is located in the Chelsea district directly above Tao restaurant/​bar, so there were always people coming and going to either the restaurant or the beautiful patio bar of the hotel. The foyer of the hotel has a very exotic feeling to it complete with dim lighting and plush couches centred around low tables to enjoy drinks with friends. You can eat in the bar or the restaurant of the Maritime, or if any of the many varied places in the area (this is New York after all!).
In terms of the stay itself — the rooms were spacious, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The mini-​bar was probably one of the most varied bars I have seen in a hotel, however, the products are clearly not rotated out on a regular basis and tasted stale or looked past their due date. There was surprisingly no noise either, which was great. But if you’re a light sleeper, the hotel is thoughtful enough to have ear plugs located beside the bed!
The reception was pleasant and the staff was very helpful. One thing to note about accessibility, if you are travelling with someone who has difficulty climbing stairs, the entrance had a steep set that were either good exercise or very inconvenient depending on someone’s flexibility. I couldn’t see an elevator to street level nor did there appear to be a handicap ramp, but that was like a lot of places in New York so be mindful when choosing attractions and accommodations. I would definitely recommend staying here as a honeymoon couple or group of friends looking to conquer NYC!
Will certainly be returning !

We arrived at 3:15 for a friends 3pm birthday party. We were the first ones.
So, obviously we plop up at the bar, order some wine and some snacks to hold us over while we wait for the others whom obviously were delayed due to hair preparations and shoe-​confusion.
The wine is a bit pricey (about $ 10-​$ 15 a glass) — we got a frittata ($ 10) — NOT worth it at all. It was a handful of mushrooms in scrambled eggs with a chunk of canned tomato on top as «garnish?». We also got the prosciutto pizza ($ 12) which was pricey but delicious. Around 4pm, our party arrived and we walked outside to the patio to hang out, The server was basically running us down as we pulled up a table — and his service was snotty from that point forward (too many chairs at one table. No more people can be in this area, etc). It got so bad that the birthday girl went to complain to the manager, whom swapped us to a different waitress (who was much more kind). My guy and I had to leave early to go back home, but I hear the rest of the evening went fine.
With all the options in the City for drinks, food, and rooftop space — Id recommend finding another to throw your hard-​earned cash at.

Decent spot for the price. Terrific location for us after a dinner at the James Beard House.
Staff was friendly and efficient.
Room service breakfast was terrific!!!
Def. go back
