The people who have passed through or lived at the Chelsea Hotel have contributed to culture as we know it today: Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Arthur Miller, Edie Sedgwick, Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious, Jack Kerouac, Mark Twain and the list goes on and on.
What is the Chelsea Harbour hotel and spa about?
The five-star hotel and spa is a modern retreat with waterside views, perfect whether you’re popping in for a spa day or staying for a long weekend. It’s in a prime location overlooking the harbour and has 158 suites, including four penthouses to stay in. Let’s get to the point: ‘7-star hotel’ is not an official certification. The star rating only goes up to 5, but some hotels went overboard and they came up with a new category. These hotels are so over-the-top luxurious that they can’t be rated with the same stars as ordinary hotels.
