Sense South Beach Gets a Miami-rific Makeover
It's almost three years since we asked the question: What Is The Sense Hotel South Beach? We always thought that the Sense South Beach Hotel was in a great location--in the SoFi (South of Fifth Street) neighborhood and close to Ocean Drive. But it was under-the-radar and somewhat mysterious.
Until now! Like so many American Idol contestants before it, Sense has undergone a major transformation. It's even got a brand spankin' new name: Sense Beach House. (Reckon they're hoping people confuse it with Soho Beach House? Just maybe? )

'The Hotel Fixer' Reality Show is Set to Debut on The Travel Channel
Remember when we told you that Gordon Ramsay would have some real competition for his "Hotel Hell" reality show? Well, the mysterious Hotel Fixer, an actual hotel consultant who has worked with big-time properties across the U.S., will be showing off his talent on The Travel Channel.
The show will feature independently-owned hotels in America who are in need of some TLC--both the design and financial kind. But if your hotel is within 60 miles of NYC, you might have a better shot of getting on the show as we're hearing hotels with proximity to the Big Apple are a priority*.
Still no word on who the Hotel Fixer actually is and still no word on what the show will be called, but we're dying with anticipation to find out.
If you're a hotel owner who's interested in being "fixed up", check out the casting call right here.
*That's the Waldorf-Astoria pictured in the photo above, a property that could certainly use some help from the Hotel Fixer.
