Anna Delvey is fresh out of jail and has recently moved into a new apartment in West Chelsea. It s the first home she s ever had in New York City. Until her three-year spell in prison, she d spent four years living it up in suites in five-star Manhattan hotels such as 11 Howard and The Standard - without paying for them.
Hence the move to a not-very-five-star prison cell. Now she s adapting to life with neither hotel concierge on call nor prison guard. I have to shop for tissues and toilet paper, so that s new, she says. My parole officer told me I can t live in a hotel because they need to make unannounced visits. So they gave me 10 days to find a place or they would have sent me to a shelter. No room service there, she giggles.
