Confession: some of us over here at HotelChatter love pink. And some of us love it so much that we choose to surround ourselves with it at home, despite its Cher Horowitz-esque, Limited Too-ish qualities. We've always fantasized about decorating our bedrooms exactly like the Schiaparelli Suite at the posh May Fair Hotel in London.
And now we have an excuse to try out our fantasy digs for reals without feeling badly about the splurge (around $4,665 per night).
In honor of Global Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the hotel will be donating 20% of of all revenues from stays in the hot pink suite during the month of October to Breast Cancer Care, a U.K. charity that provides emotional support and information to anyone affected by breast cancer. Just make sure you use reference code "PINK" when you book.
Reservations for the suite -- and all 1492 square feet of its pink glory -- can be made by calling (888) 201-1718.
Since the U.S. premiere of the British hit Secret Diary of a Call Girl airs tonight, we decided to check out one of the sexy hotels used as a meetup spot for high-class hooker Belle and her upscale clients on the show.
Shots of "rooms, the lobby, the main bar and the lift/corridor" of London's historic five-star May Fair Hotel are featured on the first season of SDCG and we can understand why. The decor is lavish and the atmosphere screams decadence -- and, dare we say, the name is just a touch scandalous: May Fair sounds an awful lot like Mayflower, the site of the Spitzer high-class hooker scandal. Coincidence?
One of London's fanciest spots, the May Fair Hotel, is still proud of its $140 million renovations a couple of years ago, and it's still getting a regular quota of celebrities passing through the doors. And now it's got a fancy gimmick going with its "Suite Year" deal.
It's more than just an exclusive deal: it's an offer to live in their Amarillo Suite for a whole year. You'll get the use of the 1,600 square foot of rooms for exactly 365 days, including some nice amenities like giant Bang & Olufsen plasma televisions, multi-disc CD players, complimentary wireless broadband and European and American plug sockets. And you get your own personal butler throw in.
Of course, it'll cost you. $585,000 for the year, to be precise. But don't balk at that figure, because it's really a bargain. Calculating from the usual per night rate for the suite, it'd cost you nearly $2 million to live here for a year. May Fair publicity recommends doing a bit of a time share deal with your mates if you're short of cash. We're very curious to find out if anyone takes them up on the deal.
If you're into celeb sightings, don't let them fool you like Kate Moss tried to do. At the re-launch of the newly renovated May Fair Hotel in London Kate put on a Manchester accent pretending to be a lookalike to avoid attention:
The Croydon-born supermodel tried to trick guests, but when she was approached she insisted she was a Mancunian lookalike.
"People genuinely thought she was someone from Manchester who happened to look like Kate Moss," The Sun quoted a partygoer, as saying.
Nice try Kate but you wouldn't fool us. Londoner accent or Manchester, there just aren't many people that look like you. Besides this was the Mayfair, they only deal with the real celebs.
