Chelsea on the rocks will document the personalities and artistic voices that have emerged from this legendary residence in the heart of New York. The 12-storey, 250 room Chelsea Hotel - originally built in 1883 as Manhattan's first cooperative apartment, and the tallest building in New York until 1902 - was converted into a hotel and residence in 1905. Once considered an untouchable, impenetrable tower for writers, artists, musicians and mavericks, it has recently been claimed as a boutique hotel venture for a management company who shows blatant disregard for its formidable history.
