We're beginning to wonder: are hotel guests getting so bored cooped up in their rooms that they feel the need to take their private, behind-closed-doors activities into more public spaces like hallways and lobbies? Because it seems like that's the way things are going. Just last week, we lost <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/6/85558/30560/hotels/Pro_Skater_Smokes_Weed_Runs_Naked_Through_The_Affinia_Shelburne">one pro skater</a> to the netherworld of drug-induced hotel streaking. And we certainly can't forget November's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/10/164748/61/hotels/_Spice_King_Gets_Naked_Then_Arrested_at_Four_Seasons_NYC">Spice King</a> incident at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/FOUR+SEASONS+NEW+YORK/local/2733">Four Seasons New York</a>.

Earlier this month, we learned about a new partnership between New York-based perfume house Le Labo and Fairmont Hotels—the biggest hotel undertaking Le Labo has ever attempted. We know how particular everyone can be about their hotel toiletries. Some like them sweet-smelling, some like them eco-friendly, and some don't bother with them at all.
