Looks like the new management at the Hotel Chelsea is taking the makeover plans to the web first. The hotel unveiled a slick new website today at 5pm EST.

The site includes a quote from the NY Times, a reservations page, room photos, a history of the hotel, a Google map of its location and detailed "Contact" page. (Hotel Chelsea skypes!)

Naturally, we want to hate this because we hate change but we did get a little giddy browsing through the room photos. Bohemians, forgive us for we have sinned.
