Hotel News Briefs: Beware the Fruit Baskets!
There's tons of hotel news flying around this week and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.
· Peter Greenberg showed up on Conan this week and rehashed that old story about how TV remotes are the filthiest thing in hotel rooms. Even better, he shared the story of an unnamed hotel in Washington, DC that tried to woo him with a fruit plate. Trouble was, a sticker on the plate said "Not for food use... May poison the food." Not good, anonymous hotel!
· Buddha Bar is getting into the hotel game with a new bar, hotel and spa in Panama City. The rather breathless press release reports that tourists and residents have been gagging for some fusion food. And, yep, hotel rooms will be decorated in sorta Asian style.
· The threesome who brought New York's i-bankers the ritzy drinking spot GoldBar are taking their business to the Hamptons this summer. They've snatched up a 30-room property called Surf Lodge in Montauk, complete with restaurant, bar and huge outdoor deck. [NYP]
· Meanwhile on Jaunted, David LaHuta is running down the scene in Aruba, complete with hotel details. The Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino has the island's top spa, and the best strip of sand, says David, is Palm Beach, right in front of lots of Aruban resort hotels.
