Susan says: </p><blockquote><p>When I was skimming through some back-issues of Artichoke magazine, I just couldn't help but drool all over the article about Hotel Fox ... I can definitely see staying here and never even going out to any museums. This place looks like heaven. There should be more visionary, profit-making projects like this in the world. Fun for all.</blockquote></p><p>Of course we'd prefer Susan checked in first before publicly claiming the Fox is the place, but there's something else new this month amandak 2007-03-06T09:15:02-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/2/9/161139/7778 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/fox_htoel_right_now.png" class="imgborder"><p> <p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Fox/local/106"><b>Hotel Fox</b></a> in Denmark has decided to turn their in-room decor into one big hotel survey. &nbsp;We must be extremely demented, because we think this is really cool. </p><p> Hotel Fox findings:<p> 82% of all European hotel rooms feature a romantic landscape painting<p> Last year, 5 out of 10 people said that this bed was firm enough. 3 out of 10 said that the bed was too soft.
