Hotel News Briefs :: More Animals Seeking Respite in Hotels

June 17, 2008 at 6:04 PM | by juliana | 5 Comments

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.

· New Boutique Hotel for Philly: The City of Brotherly Love continues its hotel boom with the opening of the Independent Hotel on June 20th. Interestingly, the hotel only has 24 rooms, making it like a mini-boutique hotel.

· DeNiro's "Labor of Love": Robert DeNiro is defending the illegal penthouse at his Greenwich Hotel today in front of the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission. The commission may order him to tear it down and start over.

· Sushi by the Sea: The Delano Hotel in Miami Beach has just announced its "Sushi by the Sea" dinners. Sushi is served by the pool Thursday through Saturday from 8pm to 1am.

· The Summer of Hotel Animals: It's officially the Summer of Hotel Animals. This time a raccoon is hanging out in the garage of the Park Inn in Berlin. The staff has nicknamed him Alex. Alex doesn't like the hotel food. He likes the trash bins outside the Burger King next door. Hah!

    Awwwwww ...

    down here in Oz we don't have anything like a raccoon and I have no idea if it's cool to have a raccoon hanging out in your garage or not, but I SOOO want one.

    no raccoons are usually very bad. they come in the middle of the night and knock over your garbage cans and create a mess. but that one up there does look cute.

    I think DeNiro's hotel got bad karma when they kicked out HotelChatter on their opening night. I haven't heard anything good about the hotel since that time.

    Plus.. What ever happened to those "exclusive" pictures some magazine took? Did the magazine scrap the article or something??
