If you're not in the Windy City and want to stay at a Swissôtel somewhere in the Americas, then we're afraid your only other options are in Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru. Of course, Europe and Asia are just peppered with them, but we get the short end of the stick.

Yes, folks, this NEC NP600SG projector could be yours.

Everything—and we do mean everything must go at London's Swiss�tel The Howard, which is set to auction off its entire contents on October 25th and 26th.
