Some German tourists write in to say: Keep the Chelsea the way it is! Don’t make it another soulless luxury hotel! It’s a shame they couldn’t have met the Bards.

Hello everybody!
First of all, sorry for my bad language! At our first sightseeing-trip ever to New York City from 10/01 to 10/06 we, my friend and his girlfriend, my wife and myself, stayed in the Chelsea Hotel/23rd Street. We didn´t knew anything about the history of the Hotel before, we booked it, because it was the cheapest we could get!
After five wonderful days with a lot of fun and amamzing impressions of the city,  we cannot describe, how we were stunned about the charism of the hotel. The whole building is an artwork full of history and its a performance of duty, to keep this spirit alive. There are so many  luxury hotels in bad style everywhere, so it bothered us not at all, that the rooms and the flloors aren´t as good as new! And as we were back in Germany, we informed us about the Chelsea in the Internet and read about the history an the famous people, who stayed there. We are proud, that we were a few days a part of it and look forward to come back soon. And we hope, that we see the "Old Chelsa Hotel" alive!
All the best to you guys and special greetings from Löningen, Germany

    Dear Daniel + Sonja, Andreas + Katrin
    you came, because it was the cheapest offer, right? The anonymous bloggers, who like to call themselves “The tenants”, criticized the new management a lot for lowering the room rents…
    If you want to meet Stanley Bard (and he wants to meet you) why don’t you call him and make an appointment with him, let’s say at El Quixote, the famous Spanish restaurant in the building.
    Come back, it is a wonderful place…
