NEW YORK (REUTERS).- The New York hotel that inspired creative talent from Sir Arthur Clarke to Sid Vicious is up for sale. The Chelsea Hotel, controlled primarily by three families that have owned it for 65 years, will remain a haven for struggling artists despite changing hands, a hotel spokesman said on Tuesday. “The history itself makes the hotel what it is,” said the spokesman, Loren Riegelhaupt. “Anybody who’s going to be looking to buy the Chelsea knows that the Chelsea is the Chelsea, and there’s nothing you want to do to change what the Chelsea is,” he said, adding that there was no asking price. A partial list of those who stayed there includes writers such as Clarke, O. Henry and Thomas Wolfe, playwright Arthur Miller, artist Andy Warhol and musicians Janis Joplin,
