The Hotel Chelsea is one of those interesting thought experiments about the good old days in New York City about wishing you had been there back then, back when it was all happening, back before everything changed, back before the banks and the Starbucks and the pilates studios camped out on every corner. On the surface, the history of the Chelsea reads like a fairytale of sorts, an almost too perfect confluence of place and personalities. Yet while many of the guests were glamorous, the hotel itself, in its heyday, wasn’t exactly a bastion of first-class accommodation. Some rooms, like the one Leonard Cohen rented during his fling with Janis Joplin immortalized in the song “Chelsea Hotel #2” were shabby and dated even by 1968 standards, and that didn’t change much in the intervening years.
