Founded in 1884 as an affordable residence for artists, the Chelsea evolved in the ’60s into a legendary haven for artists and musicians before becoming a luxury hotel in today’s gentrified Manhattan.

The Chelsea is a reminder of a lost era when, with the complicity of its owner, an artistic community imagined alternative ways of living and could even pay the rent with artworks.
