It may sit in one of the world’s priciest zip codes, but the radically revamped Kimpton Hotel Eventi has taken over an entire block of Manhattan – proudly showing off that fact with a wall of street-level windows giving passers-by glimpses of its dining and drinking venues. Of course, as a guest, you get to experience the glitzy world beyond those windows (and beyond the view-grabbing floor-to-ceiling windows in every guestroom). Part chic hotel, part art gallery (both in keeping with its artsy Chelsea address), its new lobby feels more like a designer’s living room thanks to the fashion-forward furniture, coffee table books, and warmly lit artworks. And, within four blocks of the Empire State Building, The High Line, and Macy’s, there’s no shortage of dining outside, but Chef Laurent Tourondel has made ‘dining in’ a must, with his Italian-influenced and industrial-styled L’Amico and The Vine.

This was far from the experience we hoped for during our wedding weekend. My wife and I decided to elope in New York and chose this hotel for its proximity to our venue—a decision we now deeply regret.
The first room we were assigned had head lice, which the hotel confirmed two days later after a third-party investigation. Although they refunded our first night, it felt insufficient. We no longer wanted to stay, but with a nonrefundable reservation, we had no choice but to continue our stay. We were then moved to a second room, which had a less favorable layout than the first.
When the lice were discovered, the night staff instructed us to leave our belongings in the room, promising they would be cleaned and returned the next day. We were told we’d receive a call the following morning to discuss next steps and compensation. However, that call never came. I had to reach out to the front desk myself, where I was informed a security guard would escort me back to the first room.
The manager later explained that the night staff had provided incorrect information and that we should have packed all our belongings that night to move to the new room. The manager also emphasized that we could not have access to two rooms, which made me feel as though we were being blamed for the situation.
We had fully unpacked upon arriving in the first room, so I was left to hastily repack everything by myself while my wife was working. I was assured a bellhop would help me move our three suitcases, duffel bag, backpack, and large coats. However, no bellhop ever arrived—in fact, I never saw one during our entire stay.
While I appreciate the hotel’s acknowledgment of the situation with a refund for the first night and a restaurant credit, it still felt insufficient. We spent our wedding weekend constantly checking each other for lice and feeling phantom itches. I hope this is not typical of the Kimpton experience, but unfortunately, this is the only experience I’ve had—and it’s one I don’t plan to repeat.

This hotel has been such a pleasure. I came to celebrate my 21st birthday & I couldn’t have had a better stay. Jessica gave us such a warm welcome & accommodated us for my birthday! Rob was always such a friendly face to see! Fernando was so kind & always made sure you had everything you need. Will & Jake, the bartender at their downstairs bar called Back Bar, made this experience a pleasure as well! Get the Nitro Ristretto & the Chicken Sandwich!! The hotel is super clean, staff goes above & beyond, location is too good to be true!! 10/10 recommend, genuinely worth every penny & I will definitely be staying here again!
