The Hotel Chelsea : ウィキペディア英語版
Hotel Chelsea

The Hotel Chelsea – also called the Chelsea Hotel, or simply the Chelsea – is a historic New York City hotel and landmark built between 1883 and 1885, known primarily for the notability of its residents over the years. The 250-unit〔 hotel is located at 222 West 23rd Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, in the neighborhood of Chelsea, Manhattan. The building has been a designated New York City landmark since 1966,〔 and on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977.〔〔 and (''Accompanying three photos, exterior, from 1977'' )〕
It has been the home of numerous writers, musicians, artists and actors, including Bob Dylan, Virgil Thomson, Brigid Berlin, Brendan Behan, Sam Shepard, Charles Bukowski, Janis Joplin, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Viva, Gaby Hoffmann, Jim Carroll, Jobriath, and Larry Rivers. Though the Chelsea no longer accepts new long-term residencies, the building is still home to many who lived there before the change in policy. As of August 1, 2011, the hotel is closed for renovations. Arthur C. Clarke wrote ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' while staying at the Chelsea, and poets Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso chose it as a place for philosophical and artistic exchange. It is also known as the place where the writer Dylan Thomas was staying when he died of pneumonia on November 9, 1953, and where Nancy Spungen, girlfriend of Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols, was found stabbed to death on October 12, 1978. Arthur Miller has written a short piece, "The Chelsea Affect", describing life at Hotel Chelsea in the early 1960s.〔Miller, Arthur, ("The Chelsea Affect" ), Granta #78: "Bad Company", Summer 2002〕
==History==
Built between 1883 and 1885 and opened for initial occupation in 1884,〔, p.70〕〔, p.181〕 the twelve-story red-brick building that is now the Hotel Chelsea was one of the city's first private apartment cooperatives.〔Regier, Hilda. "Chelsea Hotel" in , p.210〕 It was designed by Philip Hubert〔 p.151〕 of the firm of Hubert, Pirsson & Company in a style that has been described variously as Queen Anne Revival and Victorian Gothic.〔 Among its distinctive features are the delicate, flower-ornamented iron balconies on its facade, which were constructed by J.B. and J.M. Cornell〔〔 and its grand staircase, which extends upward twelve floors. Generally, this staircase is only accessible to registered guests, although the hotel does offer monthly tours to others. At the time of its construction, the building was the tallest in New York.
Hubert and Pirsson had created a "Hubert Home Club" in 1880 for "The Rembrandt", a six-story building on West 57th Street intended as housing for artists. This early cooperative building had rental units to help defray costs, and also provided servants as part of the building staff.〔 The success of this model led to other "Hubert Home Clubs", and the Chelsea was one of them.〔 Initially successful, its surrounding neighborhood constituted the center of New York's theater district.〔, p.153〕 However within a few years the combination of economic stresses, the suspicions of New York's middle class about apartment living, the opening up of Upper Manhattan and the plentiful supply of houses there, and the relocation of the city's theater district bankrupted the Chelsea.〔〔
In 1905, the building reopened as a hotel, which was later managed by Knott Hotels and resident manager A. R. Walty. After the hotel went bankrupt, it was purchased in 1939 by Joseph Gross, Julius Krauss, and David Bard,〔 and these partners managed the hotel together until the early 1970s. With the passing of Joseph Gross and Julius Krauss, the management fell to Stanley Bard, David Bard's son.
On June 18, 2007, the hotel's board of directors ousted Bard as the hotel's manager. Dr. Marlene Krauss, the daughter of Julius Krauss, and David Elder, the grandson of Joseph Gross and the son of playwright and screenwriter Lonne Elder III, replaced Stanley Bard with the management company BD Hotels NY; that firm has since been terminated as well.
In May 2011, the hotel was sold to real estate developer Joseph Chetrit for US$80 million.
, the hotel stopped taking reservations for guests in order to begin renovations, but long-time residents remain in the building, some of them protected by state rent regulations.〔Kilgannon, Corey. ("City Room: First, No More Guests; Now, Chelsea Hotel Says No More Art" ) ''New York Times'' (November 4, 2011)〕 The renovations prompted complaints by the remaining tenants of health hazards caused by the construction. These were investigated by the city's Building Department, which found no major violations.〔("DOB finds no major violations in Hotel Chelsea renovation" ) ''The Real Deal'' (October 27, 2011)〕 In November 2011, the management ordered all of the hotel's many artworks taken off the walls, supposedly for their protection and cataloging, a move which some tenants interpreted as a step towards forcing them out as well.〔 In 2013, Ed Scheetz became the Chelsea Hotel's new owner after buying back five properties from Joseph Chetrit, his partner in King & Grove Hotels,〔("A New View at Chelsea Hotel" ) ''The Wall Street Journal'' (August 27, 2013)〕 and David Bistricer.〔(The Real Deal: "King & Grove reneges on Hotel Chelsea eviction vow: Tenants" ) September 17, 2013〕 (Hotel Chelsea ) is now managed by (Chelsea Hotels ), formerly King & Grove Hotels. Restoration and renovation is underway and Hotel Chelsea plans to reopen in 2016.
