  • Summary: The 12-storey, 250 room Chelsea Hotel - originally built in 1883 as Manhattan’s first cooperative apartment, and the tallest building in New York until 1902 - was converted into a hotel and residence in 1905. Once considered an untouchable, impenetrable tower for writers, artists, musicians s and mavericks, it has recently been claimed as a boutique hotel venture for a management company who shows blatant disregard for its formidable history.

    Rambles a bit, but it's a real slice of New York history.

    Chelsea rambles--and in a way that makes you want to move down the bar.
