TLDR
Built in 1884, the Chelsea has housed Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, Tennessee Williams, and Dylan Thomas. It's where Sid Vicious allegedly stabbed his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in 1978. One of New York's most iconic buildings, period.
The Full Story
Several ghosts haunt the Chelsea Hotel. The most persistent is Mary, a woman who checked in to wait for her husband who was aboard the Titanic in 1912. When news came that he'd drowned, she hanged herself in Room 100. Guests report seeing Mary near the stairwells -- a translucent woman who vanishes when approached.
Dylan Thomas collapsed here after claiming to have drunk 18 whiskeys at the White Horse Tavern and later died. His spirit reportedly wanders the halls. Residents report exploding lightbulbs, elevators moving on their own, and sudden temperature drops throughout the building. Nancy Spungen's ghost has also been seen in the room where she was stabbed to death.

Hotel Chelsea is located at 222 West 23rd Street, New York, New York.
