Chelsea Hotel Historian Weighs In On The 125th Anniversary

Chelsea Hotel historian Sherill Tippins has written in to provide us with this fascinating tidbit that we hadn’t known before:

      "I just rediscovered this little factoid while editing Part I of my book:
       The Chelsea Hotel's birthdate (the day it opened and residents began moving in) is Oct. 1, 1884."

So, the 125^th anniversary of the opening of the Hotel will be on Oct 1, 2009.
