Thrillist Presents: 13 Spooky Hotels Around The World

Hotel Chelsea, New York City

Bob Dylan, Virgil Thomson, Charles Bukowski, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, and Gaby Hoffmann have lived at the Chelsea, Arthur C. Clarke wrote the script for 2001: A Space Odyssey there, and it's where poet Dylan Thomas was living when he went gentle into that good night in 1953 -- but it's the fact that room 100 is where Sex Pistols front man Sid Vicious likely stabbed his girlfriend Nancy to death in 1978 that really makes it peculiar. Of course, it's also said to be super-haunted. Hotel Chelsea 222 W 23rd St New York NY 10011
