Hard Rock HotelNew York
The High Line transforms a walk through Manhattan into a memorable experience. Elevated above Chelsea, this former rail line has become one of New York’s most inspiring public spaces. Visitors can explore bold art installations, lush gardens, and panoramic views of the Hudson River. The path connects you to Hudson Yards, Chelsea Market, and the Meatpacking District, each filled with vibrant energy and local flavor. Hard Rock Hotel New York places you close to it all, making it easy to discover the best of the city’s west side.
This elevated greenway stretches along Manhattan’s west side, connecting Hudson Yards to the Meatpacking District. As you walk its length, you’ll pass through Chelsea’s gallery scene, pass by public art, and discover some of the city’s most talked-about restaurants and cultural spaces. Hard Rock Hotel New York is just a short walk from the southern entrance, giving you easy access to nearby favorites like Little Island, The Shed, and Chelsea Market.
There’s always something happening along the path. Outdoor film screenings, live performances, artist talks, and seasonal festivals bring the city’s creative energy to life. Upcoming favorites include After Sunset, a free movie series under the stars, and Open Studios, where you can meet artists and explore their work.
Public installations line the walkway, offering a rotating showcase of sculptures, murals, and interactive pieces. Current highlights include Sable Elyse Smith’s C.R.E.A.M., a glowing neon structure, and Gabriela Salazar’s sculptural works, which transform construction materials into poetic forms.
Designed by Piet Oudolf, the gardens feature over 500 species of plants that shift with the seasons. Spring bursts with color, summer hums with life, and fall glows with golden grasses. It’s a peaceful retreat above the city, where nature and architecture meet.
