Who Wants to Buy Ritz-Carlton Montreal's Old Crap?
The Ritz-Carlton Montreal is undergoing a bigtime makeover (to the tune of $100 million) and the historic hotel is auctioning off contents of the old rooms.
Now before anyone gets too excited with visions of beautiful antique pieces dancing in their heads, allow us to clarify: that stuff isn't going anywhere.
While a good portion of the old decor will be put on the auction block, the Canadian Press reports "the real antiques and art objects will be integrated into the new decor."
Translation? Old crap with sentimental value.
Still, people seem to want this stuff because a bunch of celebrities stayed in those rooms -- Sophia Loren, Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Chirac among them -- but like, so did lots of other people who were probably kind of gross.
Also, article sort of touched us because people were quoted as calling the Ritz one of their "old hangouts." On second thought, it would be cool to score a piece of our favorite old hangout to remind us of some good times...
But then we realize that "piece" would probably be a crappy old barstool.
Do not want.
