HC: What happened to the bathtubs in the Luxe Rooms?

CB: There are 16 Luxe rooms that have bathtubs which can be specially requested if a guest requires or wants a bathtub (like a family with children) . The remaining Luxe bathtubs all have been converted into large two-person showers because the bathtubs were small, plus most guests who stay at The Chelsea prefer a large shower. All of the Lite rooms have bathtubs though.

HC: What type of events will the Chelsea host in the Ballroom?

CB: The Crystal Room will host everything from weddings, to corporate events, to mini-concerts, and on the weekend, hands-on tutorials teaching guests how to play casino games like Baccarat, Roulette, Poker, Etc.

HC: The Social Sauna (Jacuzzi) is off of the Salt Water pool in the Florida Room. How did you come up with the Florida Room name?

CB: The Chelsea takes on a nostaligc feel of the 50's and 60's, which was the same time that almost everyone was adding Florida Rooms onto the side of their house.
