    The Chelsea probably has the biggest reputation in Manhattan. Home to musicians, artists, actors, writers, and more, this midtown hotel continues to thrive on creativity. It features a gallery in the lobby, quirky rooms, and tiny elevators that you'll share with 'interesting' people. This is also a residential hotel.

    Feel the presence of rock's past in this New York institution.

    We did not stay in this hotel but it was about 300 metres from our accommodation and we went down to check it out. It lived up to what we had been told, a little different and a lot of history.
    Upon entering the premises you will be amazed by the decoration or "art" that greets you. Our niece and husband lived in New York for 18 months and their first night's accommodation was at this hotel, they said to expect some weird characters , so we made our visit early in the day.
    The hotel is famous for the artists and writers who have lived here over the years, they are a "Whos Who" of the industry.

    In the fabled Chelsea district of NY, lies one of the most written about hotels in the world. Built in 1882, the Chelsea was a favorite of Mark Twain, as well as frequented by Thomas Wolfe, Brendan Behan, Arthur Miller, Eugene O'Neill and Dylan Thomas. ( D. Thomas died a few blocks away at the White Horse Tavern- last words: 'seventeen whiskies...a record-I think'. William S. Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch there.
    In the sixties, the Chelsea became the temporary home of such artists as Janis Joplin, the Stones, and Leonard Cohen (who wrote a song about a get together with Joplin in the Hotel after she died, Chelsea Hotel #2), and where Bob Dylan wrote 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands'. In the seventies, it became a place for punk bands to visit, most noteably the place where Sid Viscious killed Nancy.

    Great hotel. TV, bathroom but not the place to go if you want sky, room service or minibars. Don't expect a plush hotel or any great interest in you to be shown by the staff.
    But it is a must place to go and stay at least once.
    We dropped in here having spent a couple of less nights in a very cheap hotel on 77nd street. To be fare the main reason for moving was to be more central.
    Place is filled with paintings and other art work - largely from people that have lived in the place over the years I guess.
    Central, friendly in an odd way, cluttered oh and they do a great selection of hotel T-shirts - again designed by residents.

    Laid back atmosphere. Hotel is half filled with resident artists, writers etc.
    The whole hotel has an atmosphere quite different to any other I've been to around the world.
    Numerous claims to fame such as Andy Warhol making a film here (a good friend of the current manager who's been here since year dot) and Sid Viscious killing his girlfried in one of the rooms (now subdivided into a number of other rooms I believe).
    Other examples include Clarke writing "2001: A Space Odyssey" while staying here, Janice Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Donald Sutherland, Dylan Thomas, Arthur Miller ...

    The final resting place of Sid Vicious. Once you enter the lobby of the Hotel Chelsea, the ghosts of New York's past take over. The hotel was built in 1884, and many of NY's most famous writers, musicians and artists have either stayed or lived at the hotel. They include: Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol (lived), Bob Dylan, Thomas Wolfe, William Burroughs (lived), Jimi Hendrix, Dylan Thomas, and of course, Sid Vicious. As of today, as many as 225 of the 400 rooms are occupied full-time.

    Each room has a history of it's own. When you enter you will notice the lobby is filled with original paintings donated by previous tenants. The hotel offers valet parking, 24 hr. room service and a bar, Serena.
