WHICH hotel in Beverly Hills is being used for porn shoots? Businessmen across the street say they can't get any work done because they're too busy looking at the action.
Bow Chicka Bow-Wowwww!
We'd be better equipped to make an educated guess if we had a little more info -- say, the film's budget or theme -- but we'll leave it up to you to guess the hotel based on sleaze factor and proximity to business-suited peeper-creepers.
We were perusing the vast treasure trove of merriment and wonder otherwise known as Craigslist when we came across this interesting little job posting:
Seeking a highly seasoned chef to man our newest kitchen. Must have positive press/customer following or has worked under a well known chef with superb credentials.
Our restaurant which is slated to open in 2 and half months has lost our chef that received a Michelin star as chef de cuisine under a well known NYC restaurateur due to this person starting there own venture.
The restaurant...is situated in a new hotel. Our menu and kitchen design was geared towards a steak house with refined side dishes/sauces.
It's time for yet another installment of our popular Guess the Hotel feature. You know how it works: We give you a few cryptic hints and you drop your suggestions in comments below. Then we tell you whether you were dead-on, somewhat close or way off. And away we go:
· The hotel is brand-spanking new.
· It's in weird location.
· The place has very cool amenities, many with a pop culture/retro touch like this alarm clock.
Singer Morrissey, former frontman for the Smiths, pulled one of the most outrageous diva acts in a hotel that we have yet to witness. Seriously, we would have rather he thrown a TV out of the window than this.
Apparently, Morrissey discovered that a a magazine editor of the music publication NME was staying in the same hotel as him. Since the mag printed an interview last December which suggested the singer was racist, Morrissey asked the hotel to remove the editor from the hotel, which they did.
However the demand backfired for Morrissey. The editor, Conor McNicholas, was actually upgraded to a penthouse suite at a sister hotel.
So HotelChatter mavens, can you guess the L.A. Hotel which accommodated Morrissey's demands without losing the business of the NME editor? We're gonna say Chateau Marmont whose sister property is the Standard Hotel down the road.
Page Six has the scoop on a new article from Rolling Stone about a high-end call girl service that once sent pretty girls to allegedly "work with" Charlie Sheen at a hotel in Santa Monica last year.
Sheen's rep told the gossip column, "This is an old, old, old story." But he didn't quite deny it.
Thus, a new version of Guess The Hotel begins. This one is slightly different because whereas in previous editions we held the answer, this time we're asking you to put your guesses forth as to where high-end call girls would go to service clients.
To help you out we've come up with a list of potential call girl hotels in Santa Monica. We've also mapped out these locations so as to give you a better idea of where they are. And because we like maps!
*Note: We aren't saying Charlie Sheen definitely took call girls to these hotels. This is purely a fictional fantasy map.
Despite a few of you guessing this snapshot came from Caesar's Palace, this is actually the Palazzo Las Vegas.
This photo was taken from a one-bedroom suite on the 33rd floor. Shout out to PatrickSW for getting it right, right away. As for the Mandy Moore bit, she was on hand for the opening and dropped some cash at the Barneys New York department store inside.
So we spent nearly 48 hours in the Palazzo last week, scoping out everything to do there from the casino, to the shops, to the restaurants, nightclubs and entertainment. We'll have a full report for you tomorrow including a ton of pictures and video.
And HotelMaven GoodCleanFeeling: we're quite curious if Caesars Palace does have the exact same bedding. That would be verrry interesting.
Once again, it's time for everyone's favorite game: Guess the Hotel. Here are the hints of where we were skulking about last week:
· The hotel's in Las Vegas. · Mandy Moore likes this place. · There's a ton of stuff to do there aside from gambling. · It's enormous.
Remember, the way to play is drop your suggestions in comments below. And if we somehow told you where we would be last week then you can't play. No cheaters allowed here!
Since our Guess the Hotel game is rather popular here, we decided to add a new one to the mix, Guess the Hotelier. In our first ever edition we ask you:
Which hotelier who may have one or more than one property in the state of California recently said this. (And by recently, we mean yesterday):
"Being a hotelier is like being a movie director. You start with a tight visual, pan out and fill everything in--particularly all those elements that most people don't even notice but that make the experience."
