Background

The Hotel Chelsea in New York City underwent an extensive renovation restoring its historic charm while integrating modern luxury. The renovation preserved the building’s iconic architecture, stained-glass windows, and ornate moldings, while upgrading guest rooms, common areas, and amenities. Motorized drapery powered by Somfy’s Glydea motors were installed in guest rooms and suites, offering convenient light control and privacy.
