Thinking of braving Beijing for the Olympics this summer? Enjoy words that start with G? Upset that the only G-words associated with the Olympics are, like, "games" and "giant muscles" and also "Germany"?

Perhaps you should check out the soon-to-be-opened Hotel G -- where the "G" is for "Glitzy, Gracious and Glamour." And also, "Gosh, we are not very creative today." ]]> Jenna 2008-06-30T15:15:08-05:00 Hong Kong: W Hotel Hong Kong Set to Soft-Open in August http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/9/95758/91620 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/whongkongroom.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>While its spawn <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/5/105253/9274/hotels/Blame_Canada_Aloft_Montreal_Airport_Opens_First">Aloft</a> is procreating all over North America this summer, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/w%20hotels"><b>W Hotels</b></a> will continue to open their exotic locations abroad.
