The Chelsea Hotel minority shareholder Marlene Krauss refused to renew their lease in 2006 even though they had been in the space for over 50 years. She wanted a more high-end tenant. That space was Empty by Choice. The hotel had already hired a contactor to renovate the space, but seeing as how there is a Stop Work Order on the bldg because of the illegal demolition of Bob Dyan's room, that isn't possible. So, they donated the space so they could whitewash the public into believe that they are patrons of the arts.<br />www.chelseahotelblog.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
