    The illustrious Chelsea hotel in NYC, many have heard of it. And legendary it was! Bob Dylan composed songs there and the poet Allen Ginsberg wrote there. But there are more famous names among the guests: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, William S. Burroughs, Arthur Miller and Patti Smith. New York's Chelsea hotel may have been saved from ruin by being sold and pimped up, but it has now become an average luxury hotel that will no longer accommodate future artistic bohemians, if only because of the room prices.

    Thank goodness we have Second Life! Hotel Chelsea on the mainland of SL was created by Mykal Skall in 2009 and is a faithful replica of the famed New York Bohemian hangout. It can now rightly be seen as the only Chelsea that has stayed true to the old ideals of the New York hotel. It is old scool building, but palpably made with integrity and a warm heart for the old Chelsea hotel. It also stays true to the old ideals by being a haven for many Second Life artists: poets, visual artists and more..
