The Chelsea Hotel Diptych # 1 - GOR-197855-862-D1cRcE22

The Chelsea Hotel is a historic landmark in New York City.

The Chelsea Hotel is a historic landmark in New York City, located on West 23rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. It was built between 1883 and 1885, and is known primarily for two things: the famous residents it had and the number of deaths that took place.

because "the Chelsea," as it's often called, has been a home to a veritable encyclopedia of cultural icons.. Mark Twain, Stanley Kubrick, Arthur Miller, Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nico, Patti Smith, Sam Shepard and Mitch Hedberg.

Two songs by Bob Dylan (who kept an apartment at the hotel from 1961 to 1964) are famously Chelsea-related: the marathon “Sad-eyed Lady ofLowlands” and the melancholy lament “Sara,” both love songs for his first wife.

The fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Nancy Spungeon, seemingly at the hands of her boyfriend, Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious, in Room 100 on the hotel's first floor.
