Yesterday, a real estate investment trust called Pebblebrook helped out the Denihan Hospitality Group, (Affinia, James, The Benjamin, The Surrey) by pumping some mega bucks ($910 million to be exact) into six of the Denihan properties. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/THE+BENJAMIN/local/3398"><b>The Benjamin</b></a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Affinia+Manhattan+%28formerly+Southgate+Tower%29/local/3940"><b>Affinia Manhattan</b>, </a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Shelburne+Murray+Hill/local/3941"><b>Affinia Shelbourne</b>, </a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Affinia+Dumont/local/3937"><b>Affinia Dumont</b></a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Affinia+50+Hotel/local/3939"><b>Affinia 50</b></a>, and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/AFFINIA+GARDENS/local/2383"><b>Affinia Gardens</b></a> are now half-owned by Pebblebrook, who inherited not just a fancy collection of classic New York buildings, but also a half portion of the hotels' collective debt (around $600 million, or $100 million per hotel). Holy bricks of gold, batman, that's a lot of money! But we have to assume these guys know what they're doing. <p>Since ASchechter 2011-06-23T09:15:02-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/2/8/83437/85311 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/google_maps_sydney.png" class="imgborder"><p><br> Google Sydney is conveniently located across the street from the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Shelbourne+Hotel/local/196"><b>Shelbourne Hotel</b></a>. So if Google folk wanted to say, hit up the $5 menu at Shelly's for lunch, it would be super simple. In true Sydney business lunch style, Shelly's offers patrons a 300-gram scotch fillet or chicken breast with creamy mash for $5...as long as they order a drink.<p> Hey, said Googler could even Gmail all his or her Google friends and send them Google Map directions to Shelly's. Not so fast, according to Google's mapping service getting from 200 Sussex Street from 201 Sussex Street involves a 10.4 kilometere walk where you cross over the Sydney Harbour Bridge twice.<p> According to the Sydney Herald:<p> markj 2007-02-08T09:20:20-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/2/2/8486/23591 <![CDATA[<p><b><i>When the game's over, send us your Super Bowl hotel and party pics or upload them to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter Flickr Pool.</a></i></b><p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/xli_superbowl.png" class="imgborder"><p>With Super Bowl Sunday coming up quick, most people attending the game or the parties have already landed in Miami.
