An excellent documentary about the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan. The legendary hotel manager and majority owner at the time, Stanley Bard, talks about the many famous and sometimes infamous people who have stayed at the Chelsea over the many years of its existence. God bless Stanley Bard who gave these people a home, and without whom New York and the world would be poorer. The final scenes in segment 6 were done on the roof of the Chelsea on September 11, just after 9 am. It's all very emotional and tragic.
The documentary is in six parts, and each segment is about ten minutes in length. It was produced in September, 2001. I recorded this legally over DVB-T a long time ago with my Elgato EyeTV. If you feel this is in violation of your copyright, I will take all everything down, no problem. Please let me know and I will do it. I am only a fan and not making any money from these video clips.
Thanks for posting... Leonard Cohen, Janis, Joni, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Dylan Thomas, Bob Dylan, etc - so many interesting people congregated here.
Oh man. This is amazing. Thank you so much for letting us see the Chelsea when we can't physically be there. :) wonderful.
so glad to see how well you understood the chelsea and the amazing stanley bard. yes, god bless him...
He was not primaritly doing it for the money either. He did it because it seemed the right thing to do at that time. It was a different era and New York City was very different in those days.
Thank you for this wonderful tour

The subtitling for this documentary is excellent and absolutely correctly done. I know this because I used to do it for a living. I was a professional subtitler and translator.
I left a question here regarding 02-06, but I see you answered it in the video description. Thanks. Wishing you well.
@@CharlesBecket What was your question about?
My English Aunt Marion Sullivan worked there …
i think i was the 34000 view also 2020 anyone?
THANKYOU STANLEY AND JEROME FROM HOLLI a.k.a. WINTER
I believe this is the way documentaries should be done. You do not try to prove a point or create some sort of narrative. You try to show what reality is like today and what it was really like in the old days. You let people who were there at the time spreak and you precent this more or less unfiltered. If you don't then what you get is a fictional story and not a documentary.
Excelente Documental !!! Sigue funcionando como Hotel en la actualidad ???
+Art Busker Thank you. You must excuse me, I have not studied Spanish in about 30 years, but I can still understand a little. :) No, I believe the Hotel Chelsea (Chelsea Hotel) is closed right now. It's a long story... Use Google and search for Living with Legends: Hotel Chelsea Blog for details. dabya dabya dabya dot chelseahotelblog dot com

Mijo! da nada
a friend of mine just finished a 1hr feature documentary on the Chelsea. you should know about each other.
Robert Knafo May I have this information please? I’m connected to this hotel and I can’t explain it!
Robert, are you referring to "Chelsea on the Rocks"? If not, please share the name of your friend's documentary on the legendary space. Thank you.
Robert Knafo, are you referring to "Chelsea on the Rocks" or was it another documentary on the legendary space that your friend made? Thanks!
MowgliX where are you based?
I believe that the hotel is closed now, and nobody knows if or when it will ever open again. It is a mystery.
+MowgliX I thought the new owner was remodeling it? There are still people living there last time I heard....
+Chan gn Yes, yes, but there have been problems. The building has changed owners a couple of times.
Hey mowglix .i am from europe and i am very interested in the history of this hotel. Can i ask you a few questions that maybe sound weird 2you but in europe we may have a different hotel culture.who knows . I would be glad if you could give me some answers. First where andy warhols friends so rich that they could effort to live their for such a period ? And pay each day that room rent or was this some sort of contract. Second i always wondered if theire drug use was legal to the management .if not did the room cleaning staff swipe their drugs ?or was there no room cleaning at all an did they have clean their rooms themself.greetz from belgium
@@yvanherman3733 There used to be hotels like this especially in places like Paris and Rome, London and also New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other major cities where you could stay for longer periods of time and pay less than in a regular hotel. It was quite common in the old days. I'm not sure if there are that many left today.
Check out the film À bout de souffle (Breathless) from 1960. Patricia, the American girl played by Jena Seberg, lives in such a place. (But oh dear, Jean Seberg was another tragic case.) Some of Andy's friends had trust funds or were supported by their families, like Edie and Ritchie and Brigid Berlin, but most of them were just struggling artists.
The owners of the hotel would sometimes let people stay even though they were unable to actually pay just then and would accept artworks as payment. Stanley Bard was one of those people. He loved the artists. Stanley suffered a stoke in 2017 and passed away. He was very tolerant during his tenure as the hotel's manager.
I have no idea what kind of arrangements he and the other Chelsea Hotel managers had with the tenants. Of course drugs were not tolerated by the management but how can you stop people from drinking or doing drugs? I suppose you could get cleaning.
The front desk must have kept track of what was going on in the hotel, especially after what happened to Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen in 1978. Also, check out the Wikipedia article.
@@MowgliX thank you so much for the answers.i can imagine that some rockstars also crashed their room ;-)
