The Hard Day's Night Hotel Still Has Rooms Open on 9-9-09

Where: 41 North John Street, Liverpool, United Kingdom, L2 6RR

You may be asking yourself: Hey, HotelChatter have you gone all sixes and sevens? Why should we care that the Hard Days Night Hotel has rooms open on 9-9-09? Wot's that got to do with anything, guv'ner?

Ok, lame attempts at cockney slang aside, you might really be confused about rooms being open on this date but 9-9-09 is the day that the Beatles Rockband comes out as well as when the Beatles remastered albums will be released.

If you haven't been watching VH1 during bouts of insomnia like we have, then we can't fault you for not knowing that 9-9-09 is like an Apple Scruff's judgment day. But if you're looking to celebrate the Beatles in Liverpool, you're in luck.

Come Together, Right Now Over The Edgewater Hotel For a Beatles Party

Where: 2411 Alaskan Way Pier 67 [map], Seattle, WA, United States, 98121

It seems impossible to believe that at one point in time, hotels refused to host The Beatles, the most brilliant band of all time, whose impact on rock n' roll and pop culture continues to this day, even though it's been nearly 40 years since the band last played together.

Why just the other night we were having a discussion over which Beatle would we want to marry even though it's 2009 and there's only two Beatles still living and only one of which we would actually want to be with (Sorry, Ringo.) Nevermind the fact that we are already married. Ah, the strange things tequila makes you do!

But yes, in the early days of the band's history, old folks were not keen on anything to do with the Fab Four from Liverpool. And that was true for Seattle hotels when the Beatles arrived in the states for their first world tour. All except one----The Edgewater Hotel. Here's their experience with Beatlemania:

The year was 1964 and the Beatles were embarking on the Seattle leg of their first world tour. After other hotels in the city apparently refused to accept them as guests, The Edgewater Hotel happily welcomed the Fab Four.

During their stay, the band famously fished from the window their suite, the photo of which has become legendary. On August 21, The Edgewater will celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Beatles’ stay at the hotel and the band’s first Seattle concert, with a line-up of special events.

Inside the Beatles-Themed Hard Day's Night Hotel

The Beatles-Themed Hard Days Night Hotel opened last week and thanks to Stefano at Epoque Hotels, we were able to get our hands on some great snapshots by of the hotel's rooms, suites and public areas.

Just check out this killer shot of the John Lennon Suite which comes complete with a white piano. While the Times UK reviewer had some issues with the public spaces, you can't say this hotel won't make a Beatles fan very happy.

Check out more photos below.

Beatles Tokyo Hotel Suite Reborn

Where: Tokyo, Japan

Here's some Hotel History for you readers stuck working the day before Fourth of July.

The Beatles only went to Tokyo once as a band in 1966 and stayed at the Tokyo Hilton in the presidential suite. Since then, the hotel has become the Capitol Tokyu Hotel and like many businesses and people over the years, decided to cash in a bit on Beatlemania by restoring the suite to how it looked when they were there. The room will cost close to 440,000 Japanese Yen or about $3,800.

There is some good reason behind it: the entire country of Japan is doing events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Fab Four's concerts.

Beatles cover bands are battling to be voted the best and thousands of fans have visited an exhibition of photos in Tokyo taken during their three days of concerts.

All this will indeed give new meaning to the term Japanese Beetles.
