What a shame. To have such compelling subject matter at your fingertips and end up with this. First, for what reason would the residences be ignored in favor of the hotel rooms?? Perhaps it was an access issue, rather than the weak rationale offered. Second, no pictures of the lobby?? Again, could she not get clearance due to the artwork, or what? Third, a brief line of history with each room would not have been to much to ask for, and is readily found in previous documentation of the property. Lastly, the few photographs worthwhile are so due to the undeniable appeal of the Chelsea itself and seem a lucky fluke to the photographer who otherwise chose her specific subjects and composition most strangely. Thankfully I paid nowhere near full price for this book, and I am still happy to have it for the few gems, but overall I could only mourn the missed opportunity this woman had to document a legend. My comparison would be an interview with perhaps Bob Dylan, where the only questions asked are about the weather and dinner plans. Sad and disappointing.

I loved every photograph in this book. It's the Chelsea, waiting for it's guests.

Great photos

boring and not very insightful. I dreaded turning each page. Very lonely. Will end up at your garage sale in the future.

Having stayed in the Chelsea for 10 days in 2008, this book omits any photo of the world-renown lobby, front desk, cantankerous elevator, the stairwell, where over 500 works are hung, the hotel hallways, where artists periodically did spontaneous "installations". This book shows bedspreads, lamps kitchenette facilities and bathrooms. The walls of the room we stayed in was a bile green, with an array of large fluorescent insects painted throughout. This book shows rooms with very sterile atmospheres. I would not recommend this book to anyone even vaguely familiar with Art History or Contemporary writing.

No two rooms in the Chelsea Hotel look anything alike. The furniture is a far-flung collection of different era, and each bed, table, dresser, and rug looks old enough to have been made right here in the USA, no particle board desks to be seen. We might as well call it “Garage Sale Gothic” and if the furniture were in better condition, they would be museum pieces.Hotel Chelsea is one of many books on the Chelsea Hotel, but it focuses on the décor rather than the people. This is not going to be a typical Martha Stewart style book, because the furniture is randomly placed and the paint schemes are random. What makes this book great is that it isn’t stylish at all; this is exactly how the average New Yorker would decorate an apartment. Few of us can afford fancy furniture and rugs, so we have to buy what we can. My father, for instance, used to take old furniture right off the street, sand it down, and refinish it. He’s told me hilarious stories about bringing home an old bureau in the mid 1970’s, full of dead cockroaches, and vacuuming them all out. The only thing louder than the vacuum was my mother’s screams.Victoria Cohen photographs the many rooms, some with beautiful furniture, some with cheap-looking 80’s accessories. Most of the rooms are well-maintained, however, so I can assure you this is not a welfare hotel. The owners tried to match the furniture to the look of the room, such as a red leather armchair in front of a red wall. Room 617 has old nasty wallpaper, contrasting with the recently repainted white molding. One room has a flowery old divan next to a lace curtain, while another has a small scratched-up desk and ugly red curtains. When I saw this room, I was reminded of Joe Buck’s fleabag room in Midnight Cowboy, before he gets locked out for not paying rent. I wonder if the average out-of-town transient would’ve been put off by the curtains, or felt right at home? Depending on his situation, it would probably not have been much different from mom & dad’s tract house.Cohen is a New York based photographer, and like anyone enamored with the city, had a fascination with the Chelsea Hotel (or Hotel Chelsea, if you prefer.) She was not happy to hear the sad new in 2011, that it was closing down to be renovated, and all the charm and history would be gone. This was the same place where Arthur C. Clarke began 2001 A Space Odyssey, where William S. Buroughs wrote Naked Lunch, where Leonard Cohen met Janis Joplin, and where Sid Vicious murdered his girlfriend. The last one we could do without, but what about the rest? Doesn’t this hotel anchor a lot of the city’s history? It certainly took in a lot of the people that were not especially welcome among the Eloise crowd at the Plaza Hotel.You wouldn’t see a lot of kids in this hotel, except for Gabby Hoffman, who lived here until age 11. In describing the hotel where she grew up, she says it was a great place to be, like every day was an adventure. Like most of us, she wasn’t happy to see it closed off and full of construction dust.Maybe this book about the Chelsea’s décor is the antithesis to the hotel business? It was never a choice lodging for affluent people visitors, mostly popular with writers, artists, people with less money to spend. After WWII, the owner took artwork in place of rent, so his art collection was probably worth as much as the hotel. My fault with this book is that it leaves out the artwork; the hotel’s walls were festooned with art from all the people that lived there, and the hallways were like one great big gallery. I wish the photographer had included some in the book, but you can still see it in other books about the hotel. Cohen does make it clear, however, that she was interested in the individual hotel rooms, not the residential apartments. The long-term residents could decorate how they liked and throw parties, but the short-term renters weren’t there for fame; they came to “drop off the radar” and be anonymous. Kind of like E.B. White describes in his book Here Is New York, it’s a city of anonymity.Oscar Wilde, on the last night of his life, wrote “either the wallpaper goes, or I go.” He was referring to the hideous wall paper of his room in Paris, where he retreated as an anonymous expatriate. While Oscar Wilde’s widely-celebrated last words are seen as those of a genius critic, I’d rather see old décor celebrated. The average bohemian, living in austere circumstances, should celebrate the cheap décor as part of the adventure.A good title for this book would be “Chelsea Hotel: Ode to An Old Dresser.”
