NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of its annual Readers' Choice Awards with Lightstone's Moxy Chelsea recognized as the #24 Hotel in New York City. This represents the fourth year that Moxy Chelsea has been recognized among the top hotels in New York City.

More than 575,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting. The Readers' Choice Awards, with their unparalleled legacy as the travel industry's longest-running and most prestigious accolades, remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector. The full list of winners can be found here.

"We are thrilled to be selected once again by our loyal Moxy Chelsea guests as one of New York City's top hotels," shared Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. "Moxy Chelsea stands out for its playful, botanically-inspired design, vibrant community-driven programming, inviting public spaces, and restaurants and bar helmed by TAO Group."

In a nod to the foliage-strewn streets of the Flower Market, Moxy Chelsea reimagines a secret garden within a concrete jungle. Rising 35 stories high, the refined yet playful hotel packs in all the amenities with none of the price tag. Cozy bedrooms, designed with intelligence—and a touch of wit—are flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. The building's architecture honors the neighborhood with its industrial facade and soaring, greenhouse-style atrium. Guests enter through the overgrown Starbright Floral Design Shop, which doubles as the hotel's entrance. Dining options include The Lobby Bar; offering a modern twist on traditional bar bites and playful cocktails, Café d'Avignon, an all-day café and bakery, and Moxy After Dark, a street-level café and bar serving nightly dinner and drinks. Topping off the hotel is The Fleur Room, a stunning glass-enclosed rooftop lounge with expansive 360-degree views that stretch from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building.,

Lightstone's Moxy hotels have been developed with the modern traveler in mind: those who are seeking an affordable accommodation without having to sacrifice style or comfort. Each Moxy property, located in Times Square, Chelsea, East Village, Lower East Side, Williamsburg Brooklyn, South Beach Miami, and Downtown Los Angeles offers distinct and memorable experiences to its guests while embodying its respective neighborhood, embracing the local history and culture into its design and ethos.

The 2024 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in the November issue.
