It's an endless list — the writers, artists, performers and musicians who have either lived, stayed, or created at the Hotel Chelsea on West 23rd Street in its namesake neighborhood: Mark Twain, Arthur Miller, Dee Dee Ramone, Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, just to name a few. 

The legendary lodging and living space is spotlighted in a new photo exhibition called “No Vacancy,” a tribute to Hotel Chelsea, also known as the Chelsea Hotel, at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in SoHo. There are images of Blondie, Andy Warhol, who shot his film “Chelsea Girls” there, Leonard Cohen and Janis Joplin. 

"I really tried to dig deep into our photographer's archives to pick out photographs that have never been seen before," said gallery director Marcelle Murdock, who curated the show.  

By coincidence, the show opens as the Chelsea is once again welcoming guests after a more than 10-year rehabilitation project. 

A number of longtime residents also continue to live there. The landmark building from 1884 is still obscured by construction netting and scaffolding; a full reopening is expected later this year. 

The photos at the gallery on Prince Street bring to life what the place once was. There is Sid Vicious, bass player from punk rockers the Sex Pistols, and Girlfriend Nancy Spungen, part of one of the dark episodes in its history. Vicious was accused of stabbing her to death in their room  at the hotel, but overdosed on heroin before he would face trial. There is also the creativity and spirit of the 1960s, 70s and beyond displayed in the photos. 

"The whole point of this show is really there aren't that many places left that are like that where we can see that type of collaborative environment where so much has come from it," said Murdock. 

The photos will be on display for a month, head here for more information.
