Editing Hotel Chelsea (section)

== Notable residents ==
Over the years, the Chelsea has become particularly well-known for its residents,<ref name="Alpern 1992" /> who have come from all social classes.<ref name="Dowd 1983" /> ''[[The New York Times]]'' described the hotel in 2001 as a "roof for creative heads", given the large number of such personalities who have stayed at the Chelsea;<ref name="Jordan 2021">{{Cite news |last=Jordan |first=Tina |date=August 26, 2021 |title=New York's Legendary Literary Hangouts |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/26/books/writers-favorite-places-new-york.html |access-date=October 14, 2023}}</ref> the previous year, the same newspaper had characterized the list of tenants as "living history".<ref name="Pedersen 2000" /> The journalist [[Pete Hamill]] characterized the hotel's clientele as "radicals in the 1930s, British sailors in the 40s, Beats in the 50s, hippies in the 60s, decadent poseurs in the 70s".<ref name="Nathan 1993" /> Although early tenants were wealthy, the Chelsea attracted less well-off tenants by the mid-20th century,<ref name="Brown 2021" /> and many writers, musicians, and artists lived at the Hotel Chelsea when they were short on money.<ref name="Cho 2022" /> Accordingly, the Chelsea's guest list had almost zero overlap with that of the more fashionable [[Plaza Hotel]] crosstown.<ref name="Paul 1994" />

''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' magazine wrote that "people who lived in the hotel slept together as often as they celebrated holidays together", particularly under Stanley Bard's tenure.<ref name="Pressler 2011" /> Despite the high number of notable people associated with the Chelsea, its residents typically desired privacy and frowned upon those who used their relationships with their neighbors to further their own careers.<ref name="Payne 1977" />
