Perhaps the most famous low-budget hotel in the world, the “Chelsea Hotel,” as everyone refers to it (as opposed to its official name, the other way around), is a top New York City hotel to consider if only for its monumental history of American pop culture. Built in 1883, the hotel was the tallest building in New York until 1899. Since then a procession of musical and artistic legends have laid their head on a pillow at this 10-floor structure. These names include William S. Burroughs, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Arthur Miller, and Jasper Johns, among others. What the hotel lacks in amenities, it makes up for in artistically inspired rooms, designed with the hotel’s history in mind. Eccentrically matched furniture and colors help make this hotel a home away from home for scores of travelers.
