We told you about a pink bathroom on Madison Avenue last week. Today, here's an entire room that's been hit with a rosy streak—this time, in the name of charity.

Crowne Plaza White Plains is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness month (which doesn't actually start until October, but hey) with two special pink-accented rooms that automatically donate 10 percent of the room rate to the American Cancer Society. So as you turn off your hot pink bedside lamp, remove your furry pink throw pillows, and snuggle down into your hot pink sheets, be comforted by the fact that just by staying in a hotel, you've actually made a contribution. Easy!]]> ASchechter 2011-08-22T08:52:09-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/5/18/133956/101 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/whiteplains_ritz.jpg"><a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com"><b>Ritz Carlton</b></a> is planning a new hotel in one of the most glamorous locations in the world--White Plains, N.Y.<p>Yes, the home of <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com">Starwood Hotels</a> (who does not own the Ritz chain) is getting a fancy $400 million, "better than five-star" hotel.
