NEW YORK—Chelsea Hotels has completed the final phase of its latest hotel the Martha Washington Hotel, a landmark Renaissance Revival property in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood. This $30 million renovation project designed by Annabelle Selldorf includes new state-of-the-art meeting and events space, Veronica’s lobby bar and lounge, and Marta, a new Italian restaurant from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, led by Chef Nick Anderer. Also included are newly refreshed rooms, corridors and building façade.
Located at 29 East 29th Street, the Martha Washington extends through an entire city block and is close to Fifth, Madison, and Park Avenues, Dover Street Market, Greenmarket, The Flatiron Building, Manhattan’s “Silicon Alley” and Madison Square Park.
The Martha Washington features 261 rooms and suites equipped with HD flat screen TVs, complimentary WiFi and wired in-room internet access, Bellino Italian linens, Italian Davines bath amenities, and room service from Marta.
Martha Washington also offers a concierge service, a 24-hour fitness center, and over 7,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor meeting, event and private dining space with cutting-edge audio and visual technology. The second floor meeting and event space features dramatic windows with Juliette balconies, a scenic outdoor terrace featuring heated floors and a multi-functional ballroom with over 2,700 sq. ft. and seating for up to 200 guests, according to the hotel.
The hotel also features a private dining room and several other spaces that can hold 30-90 guests. Catering and custom-menu packages for all private events are provided by Union Square Hospitality Group.
Located in the hotel lobby, Marta is a new restaurant inspired by the tradition of the rustic Roman pizzeria. Veronica's bar and lounge was inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt, poet Sara Teasdale, editor Louise E. Drew and actresses Louise Brooks and Veronica Lake, as well as others who used to frequent the property
