Hotel Chelsea Unveils New Website

Looks like the new management at the Hotel Chelsea is taking the makeover plans to the web first. The hotel unveiled a slick new website today at 5pm EST.

The site includes a quote from the NY Times, a reservations page, room photos, a history of the hotel, a Google map of its location and detailed "Contact" page. (Hotel Chelsea skypes!)

Naturally, we want to hate this because we hate change but we did get a little giddy browsing through the room photos. Bohemians, forgive us for we have sinned.

    I cannot say that I am crazy about the web site, but it is not too bad either...

    What I liked is the note that they won't accept reservations by email, only by phone or through the reservations' form! I think that's a bit pushing it, but it surely is a good way to try and control the flow of e-mails (useless and time-wasting in a fair number of cases).

    A good trick I may duplicate on my own hotel's web site is to preset the number of nights to 2 (instead of 1 usually) and the number of people to 1 (instead of 2 usually) on the booking engine.
