Chloe Sevigny, 1994 - listening to vinyl at the iconic Chelsea Hotel, NYC.

The vintage Manhattan hotel is part of music history as many artists stayed and partied there in the 60s including Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin.

The establishment was immortalised by Leonard Cohen in his song Chelsea Hotel #2 – and surely the most famous celebration in song of a hotel ever – in which he describes being pleasured by the singer Janis Joplin: “I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet …”

The entrance to the 12-floor, 250-room landmark Hotel Chelsea, which was built in 1885 and has been home to a raft of celebrities such as Andy Warhol, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, rock stars Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and punk rocker Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols - who infamously killed his girlfriend Nancy Spungen there in 1978.

Originally designed as an affordable artist's co-operative, the hotel has also been a hub for collaboration and creativity for writers like Mark Twain and Stanley Kubrick for over 130 years.

Despite its tumultuous history, the Chelsea remains a legendary place where artists, celebrities and visionaries have found inspiration and community.
