If you've always dreamed of marrying your special someone inside a Crowne Plaza, then this is without a doubt the promotion for you.

The pink-loving hotel chain is planning to wed eleven lucky couples at the Times Square property at 11am EST on November 11, 2011.

And just in case you didn't know: the address of Crowne Plaza Times Square 1605 Broadway. That's 1-6-0-5. As in, 16 minus 5 is—oh my gosh!—ELEVEN! This auspicious mini-mass-wedding will almost certainly open a powerful energy vortex into other Crowne Plaza dimensions, where no mortal has ever ventured. Needless to say, our RSVP is already in the mail. ]]> ASchechter 2011-08-25T10:41:34-05:00 Could Snoring Too Loudly Get You Kicked Out of the Crowne Plaza? http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/21/11220/2920 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/snorer.JPG" class="top"><p><i>This hotel guest is thankfully muffling his own snoring.</i><p> Erm...file this under <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/cool hotel jobs">uncool hotel jobs?</a><p>A few <a href=""><b>Crowne Plaza Hotels</b></a> in the UK made the news last week for their <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/12/103424/934/hotels/Snore_No_More_at_Crowne_Plazas_Abroad">"Snore Absorption"</a> rooms which are designed to help snorers snore less and help their companions sleep more.
