<![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/8580/ChelseaRoofTopwithCurtis.jpg" class="top"> Another hotel-casino development in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/AC%20Hotels">Atlantic City</a> bites the dust. The $1 billion "boutique" casino, hotel and resort due to be built on the Southern tip of the AC Boardwalk by <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Curtis%20Bashaw">Curtis Bashaw</a> was supposed to bring style and class back to Atlantic City, much like Bashaw's other AC property <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Chelsea+Atlantic+City/local/1166">The Chelsea</a>. Unlike The Chelsea, this project was supposed to be huuuge. It was rumored to have two hotel towers with a total of 2,000 hotel rooms, a 6-story condo tower, extensive banquet facilities, retail, a theater and of course, a casino floor which the Chelsea does not have. Unfortunately, it joins the other huge developments in Atlantic City by MGM

Teplitzky's General Manager, Michael Goins describing The Chelsea's Dining Options

Normally when we do a hotel review, our thoughts about the restaurant and nightlife is combined into the main review - but for The Chelsea in Atlantic City which has not one, but two Stephen Starr dining spots, and a nightlife spot hosted by Paul Sevigny and Matthew Abramcyk it deserves its own post.

Curtis Bashaw describing guest reactions to The Chelsea

We had an opportunity during our stay at The Chelsea this weekend to catch up with Curtis Bashaw, the developer of The Chelsea and he gave us a tour of hotel including the as-yet unfinished portions of the hotel like Lite rooms, the Crystal Room, and the Sea Spa.

Since we had Curtis' undivided attention for a short while, we asked him a few questions that were on our mind:

Right now we were expecting to be packed and ready to go to the opening party for The Chelsea tomorrow in Atlantic City, but unfortunately we have to sleep in our own beds instead.

While guests have been able to sleep at The Chelsea, they won't be able to use the pool or partake in the nightlife and Stephen Starr dining that The 5th Floor is set to offer. As for the spa, well that probably will not open until November. Thompson LES, you are not alone! The Chelsea AC is here for you.

Atlantic City: AC's Chelsea Teases Us With Ribbon Cutting But At Least It's Partially Open

Last Friday The Chelsea, which is calling itself Atlantic City's first non-casino boutique hotel in decades had their ribbon cutting announcing their Grand Opening.. buuuuttt -- the real opening won't be until August 1st.

Huh?

Yep.. Guests have been staying at The Chelsea since the beginning of July, and the Chelsea's website has been taking reservations since then - but not all the rooms are finished, and none of the amenities are opening until August 1st.
