HOTEL CHELSEA

"The Hotel Chelsea is a world renowned residence for artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, and characters of the most singular and eccentric stripe which the imagination might conjure.
In the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, the hotel is located at 222 West 23rd Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, near the Jacob K. Javits Center, Empire State Building, Midtown, Greenwich Village, and other NYC attractions. Built in 1883, the hotel welcomes guests, but is primarily known for its long-term residents, past and present."

Bob Dylan was "staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel":

The song that made me discover the Hotel Chelsea, Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2". I think this is my new favourite song. (Thank you, Sabrina!)




Oh, I want to go to New York. Come with me?
