Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope.

The NY Times reported that it's about to close for a major renovation, but details on exactly when and for how long are still sketchy.A hotel spokeswoman wouldn't give any details at all, other than to say a press release would probably come out in the next couple of weeks. If you try the Pierre website now, you can book up until December 30, but from then on all rooms are marked as sold out.The rumored renovation is supposed to be costing the relatively new owner, Taj, $122 million, and will update the lobby and all 200 guest rooms.

If they're everywhere, they reason, we'll see them, known them, and check into them. That's why the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/hilton%20hotels">Hilton chain</a> just announced a plan to open 25 of its Hampton and Garden Inn hotels across amandak 2007-10-22T09:30:01-05:00 Bangalore: Bad Rate :: $440 for a Room in Bangalore http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/8/28/102358/014 <![CDATA[[Ed.
