The Hotel Chelsea calls itself "a rest stop for rare individuals," and we wouldn't dare argue with this distinction. If drag queens, drama queens, writers, and wannabe writers aren’t your thing, then head elsewhere. But if this kind of crowd is your idea of a pleaser or, even better, you fall into one of these categories, then this historic hotel could be a fun place for you to soak up a classic New York experience.
The Chelsea is nothing like your average modern New York hotel. Historic, famous, and even infamous, the Chelsea boasts a guest list that includes the likes of Mark Twain, O. Henry, Thomas Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Claes Oldenburg, Jimi Hendrix, and William Burroughs.
Rooms are comfortable, spacious, and generally clean (though sometimes a tad musty smelling). Sure, the furniture is mismatched, and the amenities can be uncertain. But then no two rooms at the Chelsea are exactly the same, and in some circles, that can be considered extremely charming. |
