Last year at this time troubled but talented Amy Winehouse was doing a risque hotel balcony dance down in St. Lucia at the LeSport Resort and Spa. She was also spotted at the resort "begging for booze, draping herself over male employees, swearing like a sailor and smoking joints in the open.

This year, she's taken the act to Brazil to the Hotel Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro where rooms cost about $1,200 a night. Winehouse was spotted lounging around the pool in a bikini, jean cut-offs and some mysterious bruises. The Daily Mail is furiously investigating how this could have happened:

Looking suspiciously like a drunken sort of injury that one wakes up to after a boozy night out, the bruises stood out a mile as Amy chatted to her security guards at her hotel.

Or not.

Amy Winehouse's Risque Balcony Dance Hotel Revealed

Where: Cariblu Beach, Cap Blue Estate, Saint Lucia
January 14, 2009 at 9:40 AM | by | Comments (4)

Finally! We have an answer as to where Amy Winehouse was doing her jiggly dance in St. Lucia! The only thing is, she might not be there for much longer.

According to the UK Sun newspaper, the troubled singer/worst hotel guest in the world has been disturbing guests and staff at the LeSport Resort and Spa by begging for booze, draping herself over male employees, swearing like a sailor, smoking joints in the open and just general odd Amy Winehouse behavior.

A source at the £200-a-night resort said: “We keep catching her crawling past bars, or hiding behind chairs. She grabs guests’ drinks and runs off, like a squirrel with a nut.”

Amy has checked into the Le Sport Spa for two months as a sort of rehab vacation. Apparently her day starts well with yoga and other exercise but by the afternoon she's begging for drinks and ciggies. Oh and she's playing guitar on her balcony topless. Classy.

You know, we really wouldn't mind if Amy Winehouse was hanging around our resort for a while. It could be like free entertainment. But if she ever tried to take our drinks, we would probably have to fight her.

A major shout-out to HotelChatter member HollyP who correctly informed us way back on Dec. 22nd that Le Winehouse was at Le Sport. You are le winner!

Where Did Amy Winehouse Do Her Risque Balcony Dance?

Where: Saint Lucia
December 22, 2008 at 1:48 PM | by | Comments (7)

Amy Winehouse has checked into a hotel in St. Lucia and amazingly, she is not holed up in the room doing drugs with her cracked-out husband. (Not that we know of anyways.) But she still is acting very Wino-like, surprising guests with a topless jiggle dance on the balcony of her hotel room.

The Sun has all the classy info on the jiggly dance EXCEPT the name of the hotel. So we're turning this latest Amy Winehouse hotel episode into a Guess the Hotel game for you. Consider it a Christmas present. Here are some hints:

· The Sun says: "Amy’s balcony is over a quiet part of the resort that’s popular with older guests."
· It's on the beach.
· Amy is chillaxing at the resort with her family including a 12-year-old goddaughter which must mean the resort is family-friendly.

Not so familiar with the St. Lucia hotel scene? Browse through our St. Lucia Hotels page for some ideas.

Put your guesses in comments below and help us end the mystery of Amy's topless dance! Christmas depends on it!

August 13, 2008 at 10:17 AM | by | Comments (0)

To hotel staffers, what exactly does one have to do to achieve status as a "nightmare" hotel guest? Towel-stealing? Calling the front desk asking for amenity after amenity to be delivered to their rooms? Loud drunks?

Yeah, no. Try throwing plates of spaghetti at walls, biting hotel security guards, and ordering xylophones up to their suites.

Concierge.com put together a list of the worst famous hotel guests ever -- and, surprise, Amy Winehouse is on there!

A couple of the gems after the jump.

Paris Fashion Week Hotel: The Plaza Athénée

The Hotel Plaza Athénée - we don't know for sure, but it's a good bet Brit singer Amy Winehouse stayed here last week for her brief appearance at the opening of the luxe Fendi boutique in Paris.

Amy isn't known for her love of exercise, and the Plaza Athénée is right opposite the new branch of the designer boutique on Paris's most exclusive street, Avenue Montaigne. It's part of Paris's Golden Triangle, so-called because you can only stay or shop there (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Armani, Christian Dior, Prada, Valentino etc) if everything you touch turns to gold.

The Athénée has a all-star guest list: Cameron Diaz, Johnny Depp, Leonardo di Caprio, Beyoncé,and of course Carrie Bradshaw. Not to mention all the other ones who won't give their name.

Amy Winehouse Busted for Marijuana at a Radisson in Norway

In the not-so-shocking-news department, Amy Winehouse and her husband have been arrested in Norway for possession of about 7 grams (0.2 ounces) of marijuana. She was fined $714 and then released.

Winehouse, 24, was arrested at Bergen's Radisson SAS Hotel together with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, and a man identified as Alexander Foden, Lars Morten Lothe, a police lawyer at Bergen Police Station, said in a telephone interview today. Fielder-Civil was also fined 500 euros, while Foden was ordered to pay 240 British pounds ($491), Lothe said.

What is shocking is that it was just weed. Doesn't Amy do like harder Class-A type of drugs? And we also learned that Amy doesn't mind shacking up in Radissons but perhaps in the future Amy should check-into more drug-friendly hotels such as this one.

Amy Winehouse in 'Bloody' Fight at the Sanderson Hotel

There's been a lot of crazy celeb stuff happening in hotels this week and it's really hard to keep track of it all. But this report about Amy Winehouse definitely caught our eye.

The troubled rehab-reject singer and her druggie husband have been staying at London's Sanderson Hotel where one of their fights turned bloody at 3am the other night, alarming guests and forcing the concierge to call the police.

Shocking images of the pair show Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and make-up smeared down her face.

Fielder-Civil had livid scratches covering his face and neck.

Police confirmed they had attended an incident but no charges would be brought.

Hmm...maybe she just banged into the hotel lighting like David Hasselhoff once did. However, Amy is apparently standing up for her man by texting her love for him to Perez Hilton. Either way, let's just pray that Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse never stay at the same hotel on the same night.
