Miss America 2026 to Have Official NYC Residence

The Miss America Organization has announced an exciting update for the 2026 titleholder. Alongside the historic return to a September competition, Miss America 2026 will now have an official residence in the heart of New York City.

The new space is a luxury apartment located at the Chelsea Landmark, a modern and amenity-rich building in Manhattan’s vibrant Chelsea neighborhood. While Miss America will remain based in her home state during her year of service, this residence will serve as a central hub for her national appearances, press opportunities, and official events in the city.

This dedicated apartment reflects the organization's continued focus on expanding visibility and access to high-profile platforms. As Miss America fulfills media obligations and attends advocacy-driven events across the country, this NYC space offers a home base that connects her to the heart of the nation’s media and cultural capital.

About the Residence

Located in Chelsea, the apartment offers:

• A 24-hour attended lobby and concierge service

• A fitness center with a yoga studio

• A rooftop sundeck with sweeping views of the New York City skyline

• A resident lounge with a pool table and golf simulator

• A library with conference rooms

• Proximity to public transportation, Madison Square Park, and top restaurants, shops, and arts venues

As part of the Chelsea Landmark community, Miss America 2026 will also receive Club 3 membership, giving her access to curated events and complimentary fitness classes.

This new residence represents more than just a place to stay. It symbolizes how the Miss America Organization continues to evolve and meet the demands of a modern, media-driven world while supporting its titleholders as they lead with confidence and purpose.
