<p> It&#39;s something of an understatement to write that the Chelsea Hotel is among one of the most famed Bohemian landmarks in Manhattan, given that it has been the epicenter of artistic Chelsea and Boho Manhattan for over a century. The long list of notable musicians, writers, and artists who have frequented the hotel&rsquo;s 125 rooms -- roughly make up half of what is considered artistic New York, give or take -- have produced a slew of homages, from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfgMYfdBFc">Leonard Cohen&#39;s Chelsea Hotel</a> to countless others with less on-the-nose titles. The Chelsea has been adapted into literature, music, art, and film, but now faces a new and perhaps most difficult adaptation, now that <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-19/hotel-chelsea-landmark-manhattan-home-to-artists-musicians-up-for-sale.html">the Chelsea landmark has hit the real estate market</a>. It&rsquo;s strange, but it&#39;s true -- once haven to several of the greatest artists ever to call Manhattan home and inarguably the most iconic Chelsea rental listing in history, the Chelsea Hotel is now a prized piece of Chelsea property for sale. The on-the-market status of the Chelsea Hotel is noteworthy both because it&#39;s not every day that Manhattan real estate legends hit the market and because of what it means for Chelsea&#39;s past, present and future.</p>
