New York's Most Iconic Hotel

American playwright Arthur Miller was going through a rough patch—he had just divorced Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, was temporarily living in Room 614 of New York's Chelsea Hotel, and was trying to avoid the press. But his real challenge awaited him every morning in the bathroom: an unruly hot water faucet. Reflecting on those weeks in 1961, Miller wrote, “Although I had been scalded a few times in the shower, I began to like the hotel.”
