| Publisher Description: Today the halls of the Chelsea Hotel are salted with dust. The hundreds of paintings that adorned its walls have been locked away in storage. The doors to abandoned apartments are whitewashed and padlocked. Hotel operations ceased in 2011 for the first time in 106 years, and now the few remaining residents roam the echoing corridors like ghosts. Ancient pipes ruptured during renovations, flooding apartments, and neighbors returned home from work to find their front doors sealed in plastic wrap. The Chelsea's new owners say that the building had fallen into dangerous disrepair, and they are restoring it to its original condition. Dystopias always begin as utopias, and the Chelsea is no different. This book shows one of the most iconic hotels of 20th-century counter-culture. These are just a few of the many stories you will find in The K-Rock Chelsea Hotel |
