New York - Chelsea Hotel

 
The Hotel Chelsea was New York's first co-operative apartment complex. No other hotel in New York, perhaps the world, can claim such artistic and literary heritage as The Chelsea Hotel. Tennessee Williams, Arthur C. Clarke, Jimi Hendrix, Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac, Brendan Behan, Arthur Miller and countless other artists have stayed here for short or long periods.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Andy Warhol shot and named a film after the hotel. Leonard Cohen immortalized his amorous encounter with Janis Joplin here in song. Most notoriously, Sex Pistol Sid Vicious killed his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, here in 1978. Seedy, mysterious and haunted, the Chelsea still attracts artists, bohemian activity , and increasingly more tourists to this day.

The lobby is decorated with art by tenants, past and present.
