Is Chelsea right for your trip?

Review scores in this area have a median of 8.3, and 4 of 15 sit at 8.5 or higher. We rank on a review score weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a perfect score from a handful of stays does not outrank a strong score from thousands.

Consider another area if
- your trip is anchored to a landmark on the other side of the city
