Dream Downtown | Midtown, New York | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Midtown, New York

4 stars

The designers at Dream Downtown had fun when they transformed this 1960s’ National Maritime Union building, opposite Chelsea Market and near the Meatpacking District. In a nod to its past, the gritty steel shell features super-sized portholes, while inside it takes you around the globe. You visit Mexico in the tequila barrel wall and upscale menu of Bodega Negra. You visit ‘Cool Britannia’ in the underground Electric Room, with its Banksy-inspired graffiti. And you return to NYC with the penthouse parties at PHD Rooftop Lounge and the lobby’s huge Stars and Stripes flag made from beer cans, which sits below the glass-bottomed pool.

“Disappointing all around”

Oct 28, 2025JamesNatalie J

If you want to stay here for the roof top bar don't bother- it was booked out for private events both nights of our recent stay and then becomes a club with a long line to access after 10 pm- and no, you won't get to skip the line as a hotel guest. Additionally, this hotel does not offer room service, does not have valet parking, and has no on-site restaurant (just a small coffee counter). There are many better hotels in NYC.

“Great place to stay in NYC”

Oct 25, 2025Josh S

Excellent hotel in southwest Chelsea, just blocks to the water and close to subway. Neighborhood felt safe to walk in day and night. Closer to 9th than 8th on a quiet cross street. Weekend club music on top floor can send vibrations down to nine, but it wasn’t significant and I slept well. Lobby area bar is great for a drink (or two) while waiting for friends. Staff were very good - responsive. Appreciate Latrell for taking care of my requests.

“Could have done better”

Room furniture and furnishings were cracked and worn. Fridge did not work, TV was subpar and inconsistent with in working. Staff was good and friendly.
