Pointed Leaf Press, LLC. 136 Baxter Street New York, NY 10013 www.pointedleafpress.com For press, please contact: Kelly Koester [email protected] (212) 941-1800 HOTEL CHELSEA BY VICTORIA COHEN September 2013 Photography ISBN: 978-1-938461-04-0 168 pages / 10.25” x 15” Landscape / 83 Color Illustrations Notorious as a refuge for the eccentric, the eclectic, and the creative, the Hotel Chelsea has been home to some of the great and unconventional writers, musicians, artists, and actors of the past century, including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Charles Bukowski, and Allen Ginsberg, to name just a few. When the hotel was sold and closed for full renovations in August 2011, American photographer Victoria Cohen was invited to capture and document the ROOM 123 essence of the building’s original interior before it’s imminent demise. Cohen’s photographs of these hallways, lobbies, and rooms, once beaming with life and vision, now bare and aged, illuminate a bohemian era that once was, speaking untold truths of a lost time. Fascinating and bittersweet, Hotel Chelsea casts the historic landmark through the lens of the twenty-first century, exhibiting it as it has never been seen before, and will never be seen again. Victoria Cohen is a New York-based photographer. Self taught, Victoria shoots mostly in the large format 4 x 5 medium. Her work ranges from landscapes to portraiture, with an emphasis on the connection between the human condition and environments. She will be exhibiting her prints at Third Streaming Gal- lery in New York City from September 17 through October 29..

Hotel Development in NYC
Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC: Winter 2021 Edition All In NYC. Winter 2021 Hotel Update Coming off the strong start to 2020 in January and February, the New York City’s travel and tourism industry slowed in March and came to a near total halt in April. The spread of the Covid19 virus and the necessary restrictions and precautions put in place in response to the pandemic have changed the picture of the industry over the past nine months. The nature of travel shifted from traditional leisure and business to emergency accommodations and local uses. Many of the city’s hotels found ways to support the response to the pandemic and begin to plan for a post-pandemic travel environment. At the same time, a significant proportion of the City’s properties closed temporarily to protect their employees and adjust to reduced demand. Sadly, another group of owners have made the difficult decision to close permanently. At the same time, construction on the majority of new and developing projects resumed as soon as work was permitted. Foundations are being dug, floors are rising, facades are changing the look of neighborhoods and interior work is putting the finishing touches on hundreds of new rooms. Current active inventory has been constantly shifting in response to opportunity and need across the city. According to STR, approximately one-in-three rooms are offline as of December. The hotel pipeline in New York City continues to stand out in the US for diversity of properties and investment. With a range of ground up new buildings, restorations of historic buildings, and expansions, the hotel sector is meeting the diversity of traveler preferences and expectations.
