At Chelsea Village Hotel, we know how important it is to find balance, especially in challenging environments. Our hotel offers a range of recreation options that allow you to unwind, relax, and reconnect with yourself. From active pursuits to calm, meditative spaces, there’s something for everyone.
This is your place to feel safe, let your hair down, and make the most of your stay. Let’s take a look at how you can enjoy your downtime at Chelsea Village Hotel.
Relax on our rooftop
Need a moment of calm? Our rooftop relaxation area is the perfect sanctuary for quiet reflection or a peaceful walk. Overlooking the ocean, this serene space invites you to take a deep breath, feel the fresh breeze, and let your thoughts drift away.
Many of our guests also use this area for yoga or stretching, finding their own space to centre themselves.
Enjoy the fresh air and open spaces in our rooftop relaxation area.
Movie nights in the open air
Guests come together to enjoy a movie in Chelsea Village Hotel’s very own outdoor cinema.
Picture this: a balmy evening, a cosy seat, and a movie playing on the big screen. At Chelsea Village Hotel, our outdoor movie nights are a guest favourite.
With international entertainment apps at our disposal, guests can make requests and vote on movies to watch. Whether it’s a nostalgic classic or the latest blockbuster, there’s sure to be something to sit down to.
Get your exercise on
With its secure outside spaces and state-of-the-art equipment, guests at Chelsea Village Hotel can enjoy a variety of exercise options.
Join the Mogadishu Running Club
For those who love to stay active, the Mogadishu Running Club was founded right here at Chelsea Village Hotel. It’s a great way to meet fellow runners and keep up with your fitness routine while you’re away from home.
The club brings people together, helping guests feel a sense of community while enjoying the simple pleasure of running – whether you’re a beginner or an expert. The club has a dedicated group that meets regularly, and we’re always open to new members joining.
Gyms to choose from
If running isn’t your favourite way to break a sweat, we’ve got plenty of other options. Our GymCap solution provides indoor and outdoor workout spaces with state-of-the-art equipment for every type of workout, from strength training to cardio.
The outside gym offers the latest in workout equipment to work up a sweat.
Designed by an expert team providing fitness facilities to the British military, our workout spaces offer weights, rowing machines, air bikes, treadmills, boxing bags and cross-training equipment so you can get your workout in.
Guest-run yoga sessions
If you prefer a quieter, more meditative workout, you can join the guest-run yoga sessions. Catered to a variety of levels, it runs every Sunday afternoon with the main aim of providing a peaceful space for guests and visitors to get moving and practice mindfulness.
Simon W, who runs the session, enjoys the opportunity to unwind and build a community at Chelsea Village Hotel. “If I measure success by the smiles I’m getting, it definitely has a positive effect,” he says.
Simon W.’s yoga workshops are open to guests and vetted visitors looking to move, stretch and practice mindfulness.
Themed dinners and special events
At Chelsea Village Hotel, we regularly host themed dinners that give guests a taste of home or introduce them to new flavours. Our culinary team takes pride in curating a menu that reflects the diverse backgrounds of our guests, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Special events are a highlight of life at the hotel. In February, we had a pre-Superbowl lunch, complete with a cornhole competition and prizes. It’s a chance to unwind, have some fun, and share memorable moments with fellow guests. These events help create a sense of community, turning strangers into friends as you share food, laughter, and good times.
Board games and social spaces
For a more laid-back way to pass the time, we offer a variety of board games that reflect the interests of our diverse guests. The Karen board game, for example, is particularly popular among our South Asian guests, while classic American games are available for international favourites.
Guests unwind with a friendly game.
We’ve also created social spaces throughout the hotel where you can sit back, chat with friends, or challenge someone to a game of pool. Our recreation spaces are designed to encourage relaxation and interaction, whether you’re looking to play, socialise, or simply enjoy a quiet moment.
Coffee shop and essentials store
Our cosy coffee shop may not be your typical café, but it’s a comfortable spot to grab a refreshment, catch up with a colleague, or simply relax with a book.
In addition to coffee and snacks, you’ll find a small convenience store where you can pick up essentials like toothpaste, soap, and other everyday items. It provides the little comforts that make life easier when you’re away from home.
Your safe haven for work and play
At Chelsea Village Hotel, we understand that life in a challenging environment shouldn’t mean constant tension. Our guests’ safety is our number one priority. With blast-protection walls, reinforced containers and round-the-clock security provided by the experts, Hart Nationwide, Chelsea Village Hotel guests can enjoy peace of mind.
