What Went Down at Hotels During SXSW?
South by Southwest (SXSW), the annual music and film festival in Austin, Texas concluded its run yesterday and predictably, we have some hotel scene reports.
Ryan at the Synthesis blog stayed at the Four Seasons hotel and said his room smelled like something interesting by the end of the trip. He also said the hotel charged him for something he didn't get. On the bright side? He saw Ice Cube in the hotel lobby and the veggie burger is delicious although $22.
Meanwhile, Perez Hilton is reporting that singer Van Morrison who is allegedly already blacklisted at the Four Seasons is now banned from the Hotel Driskill.
Update: We got word that the Driskill Hotel have confirmed – categorically – that the Perez Hilton report is untrue.
Sorry Van.
Furthermore, Mr. Morrison's representatives added this concerning the Perez Hilton report:
Mr. Morrison has not been banned from this or any other hotel.
John Spomer, Vice President & Managing Director of the Driskill Hotel, has issued the following statement. "Throughout his stay, Mr. Morrison, as well as members of his party, treated our staff with the utmost professional courtesy and respect. We look forward to the opportunity of hosting him again in the future."
Got any more hotel party reports from SXSW? Let us know.
