Hotel News Briefs :: Everyone Wants to Be a Hotelier These Days

· New Yorkers Are Running "Hotels" from Apartments: Risking eviction, more and more New Yorkers are making some extra dough by running makeshift hotels out of their apartments. They're essentially making money off of someone else's property, but the $50 to $150 a night rates hold an appeal for guests because they are certainly cheaper than most alternatives. [NY Sun]

· JW Marriott Seoul to Get a Makeover: Is Seoul the new hip hotspot for cool hotels? The JW Marriott Seoul is all set to undergo a $13 million renovation. [Korea Times]

· The Standard NYC is Nowhere Near Finished: Curbed has photos of the Standard NYC's current status -- and it's nowhere near finished. Still, they'll be hosting a party tonight -- which we'll be hitting up. It may be industrial chic? We'll let you know tomorrow. [Curbed]

· Kirsten Dunst's SoHo Grand Burglar Sentenced: Yeah, um? We don't know why criminals don't understand that there are security cameras all over every hotel everywhere, but this one didn't -- he was caught and pleaded guilty to robbing Kirsten Dunst's suite at the Soho Grand recently. [NYDN]
