"An icon of American artistic invention, the Chelsea Hotel has been, since its founding by a French socialist utopian in 1884, a cultural dynamo lodged in the very heart of uber-capitalist New York City. Sherill Tippins, author of the acclaimed February House, delivers a lively, masterly history of the Chelsea and of the successive generations of artists who have cohabited and created there, among them John Sloan, Edgar Lee Masters, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Thomas Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Arthur Miller, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe, Andy Warhol, Sam Shepard, Sid Vicious, and Dee Dee Ramone. Now as legendary as the artists it has housed and the countless creative collaborations it has sparked, the Chelsea has always stood as a mystery as well: Why and how did this hotel become the largest and longest-lived artists' community of the known world? Inside the Dream Palace gives the intimate and definitive story"--… (plus d'informations)

Just as enjoyable as February House. I don't know why I waited so long to read this book. (

Quite a substantial multi-biography, describing the people who were The Chelsea Hotel; it's architect, Thomas Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Kerouac, Harry Smith, Kleinsinger (jungle on the top floor), Basketball Diaries author Carroll, Eddie (Andy Warhol), and many more. Reminded me of Andy Warhol's diaries, with a lot of name dropping and brushes with famous personalities, found out a lot about authors I know. Interesting but a little too much like reading a biographic dictionary. (

"Inside the Dream Palace" by Sherill Tippins is a comprehensive and fascinating examination of the history of the legendary New York landmark, the Chelsea Hotel. Tippins describes the development of the building, structural and interior decorating changes over the years, and more importantly the life and times of the various guests and residents from the building. It was certainly a Bohemian mecca for writers, artists, musicians and alike, and many fabulous works resulted from residencies in the building. It has been the home of numerous writers, musicians, artists and actors. Past residents include Arthur C. Clarke Allen Ginsberg, it was where Dylan Thomas died of pneumonia and where Sid Vicious (sex pistols fame) killed his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, The hotel is currently closed for renovations, and I'm curious to see if it will continue to attract a creative and eclectic bunch of visitors. Well researched and referenced, but a little heavy going in parts. (

A wild picture of all the creative folks who camped out at the Chelsea,with a credible job of explaining why they matter. I've got some music to hear, movies to watch, books to read. Although, with the vivid depiction of just how run down it got, I'm flat puzzled as to WHY people were so thrilled to live there -- bourgeois that I am.

A fascinating, completely engrossing chronicle of the 130-year history of the New York City legendary landmark that served as a residence and gathering place for generations of artists, musicians, and writers. Lively, colorful, and definitive. (
