With its five walk-up floors coded to the rainbow flag, the 26-room Chelsea Pines is serious gay-and-lesbian central, but guests of all stripes are welcome. It helps to be up on your Hitchcock beauties, as vintage movie posters not only plaster the walls but rooms are named for starlets, such as Kim Novak, Doris Day and Ann-Margret.
The small lounge downstairs opens to a tiny courtyard out back, and breakfast is included in the rates.
