What happens when a flashy brand like Lacoste sets up shop inside a flashy hotel lobby like Gansevoort Park Avenue? Well, the staff uniforms get a whole lot, er, flashier.
Even though the hotel's already been open for a year, the infamous alligator brand is just now getting ready to deck out the entire hotel staff, according to the NY Times. Not limiting itself just to Park Avenue, however, the company will service both Gansevoort hotels, plus the Soho House, and Nobu out in the Hamptons. ]]>
Tragedy has struck the Soho House in New York today as a woman was found dead in one of the private club's hotel rooms. NY Daily News reports:
According to police, the 33-year-old woman's body was found about 3 a.m. after the bath water, which was still running, flooded the tub and leaked down into the room below.
When cops arrived at the Ninth Ave. hotel, the unidentified woman was unconscious. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. Detectives are investigating whether she was the victim of foul play, but a police source said her body showed no obvious signs of trauma.
