Hotel Chelsea

This famous New York hotel was the spot for many artists, a list of which would take hours, possibly. The red-brick hotel's inner walls are covered in art, or at least it was until it was renovated. The balconies and railings are made of iron, making the building stand out and giving it an archaic quality in it's surroundings. Leonard Cohen wrote a song about it, called Chelsea Hotel No. 2, which details an encounter with him and Janis Joplin where they got freaky before they were about to split. About a year ago, that song was covered by Lana Del Rey, and the newer version still holds that same timeless quality. I've been having weird dreams, and this song and hotel popped up in them recently. I don't know why.
