Gisele Bündchen: Undercover Hotel Tycoon?

July 3, 2008 at 12:00 PM | 0 Comments

Yesterday we were innocently perusing one of our favorite sites, Jezebel, when we came across this question in an item, summing up GQ's recent interview with supermodel Gisele Bündchen:

"Did you know Gisele owns some sort of extended-stay hotel in Santa Monica?"

Um, nooooooooo, we thought as we hung our heads in shame. And we call ourselves hotel mavens! We did some research on the Internets and, adding insult to injury, came up with zero.

The GQ interview is available online, but we're guessing it's the abridged version since there is no mention of said hotel ownership.

However, we did learn via The Insider that she is owner of the Palladium Executive in the south of Brazil, another seemingly phantom hotel that only exists in Gisele's bio, since we can't even find a web site for it.

What is up here? We're too lazy to schlep to the magazine stand on the corner to pick up GQ, so we're asking you to do some heavy lifting for us.

Hey, it's the day before a holiday weekend. We might still be in the room, but we've already checked out.

Anyone got the details on Gisele Bündchen, superhotelier? Let us know.
