While a porno spoof based on the life and trials of Dominique Strauss-Kahn seeks donations for filming, we think we may have a good location suggestion for the shoot--The W D.C. where DSK allegedly shacked up with a $500-a night prostitute, according to a new report in a French paper.

Apparently, DSK flew a Belgian hooker to the U.S. to accompany him on the job while he was head of the International Monetary Fund. And now one of the girls is talking. In an interview with Nord Eclair, the girl spoke of flying to DC in January of 2010, posing as DSK's "assistant." ]]> juliana 2011-11-07T09:47:26-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/10/7/141717/579

Day.

The posh nabe of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. is about to get even more swish in December 2012 when the Capella Georgetown opens. Yes, Capella of the luxury hotel collection, Capella Hotels and Resorts.

Now, we know how much political leaders love their fine hotel accommodations and the Capella Georgetown, at 1050 31st Street, NW, will not disappoint. According to a press release, the hotel will feature just 49 "magnificently appointed rooms and suites in a highly private and secure environment, and will provide unmatched levels of customer service and room finishes."

Additionally, the hotel promises to cater to "a sophisticated and discerning clientele including global industry leaders, heads of state and other visitors." ]]> juliana 2011-10-07T15:00:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/6/30/10354/4912 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/WDC.jpg" class="top"> <p><em><strong>UPDATE, Thursday June 30th, 4:38pm:</strong> A spokesperson for W Hotels released this statement: <blockquote><p>"The W Washington D.C. extends our sympathies to the family touched by this tragedy.
