Want a Great Hotel in the Fashion Ave / Flatiron District in New York City? Why I Recommend the Doubletree Chelsea.

Last week I was in New York, and stayed at the Doubletree Chelsea Hotel.  I'm getting to know the Doubletree brand because they are a sponsor of the #140Conf events, for which I work with Jeff Pulver on sponsorship development and support.

Beyond the great room, the great service and a really great location, at the end of the day, it's about the people who make a difference.  

I had a chance to visit with the General Manager of the hotel, Kathryn Dowd, who shared her enthusiasm about the great local restaurants and places to visit that make a facility like the Doubletree Hotel Chelsea so special.

How @doubletreehtls Reinforces Its Culture of "Care" With Recycling in Your Hotel Room; #140Conf

As a sponsor of the #140Conf Road Trip, I really tried to pay attention to Doubletree's brand promise and their whole culture of "caring." It's evident in the Care Line, where you can call the front desk, or the warm chocolate chip cookie you get when you check in.

It also become apparent to me that Doubletree cares about the environment. Even when you travel, you have a chance to take part in recycling by separating your trash in the special trash baskets they have.

If you think of the millions of people who travel, it add it up. I'd like to see more of the hotel industry follow Doubletree's lead in helping keep road warriors like me a bit more eco-minded.
