Thanks to the number of people who participated in the Wiki-Hotel Description Experiment Part 1 for the Four Seasons. Go to the post to see the old description and the new one, which is also now full of integrated links relevant to the description. There was a good response and the complete description became rather humorous and slightly useful.
The second attempt for the Wynn Las Vegas went alright although not as many people participated as I would have liked. 3rd time is a charm so I’m going to try again.
I want to try it again and see if we can have more than 4 people contribute. I’d also like to see people who have issues with other’s comments offer a re-write or an update. If you want to re-write someone else’s comment, do so in your posted comment and I’ll take that and make the change in the post.
This time, we’re going to try to do it with the ultra-hip Clift Hotel in San Francisco.
Here is the current description (latest addition is bolded):
An inspired fusion of old-world hotel elegance with distinctly contemporary energy and glamour, the newly redesigned Clift, in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square, takes modern luxury to another level.
From the Surrealistic magic of its soaring lobby to the digital art exhibitions in its celebrated and legendary Redwood Room, the nearly century-old Clift’s daring new sense of diversity perfectly captures the city’s spirit. Designed by Philippe Starck, Clift is a wonderland for the jetset. No stay or visit to the Clift is complete without having a drink in the Redwood Room. The atmosphere is completely swanky although crowded beyond belief, especially on weekends. But the real draw are the “paintings” on the wall. Keep your eye on them or they may keep their eye on you.
To understand what we’re trying to do, see the original post for the Wiki-Hotel Description Experiment Part 1 for the Four Seasons.
What I want:
Did you eat Asia de Cuba? Did you like it?
How about the Redwood Room?
Did you like your bedsheets?
What about the service of the hotel?
Did they know your name when you walked around?
Did you sit in the great big chair in the lobby? Get a pic or video of your doing it? Send it.
Any opinion about Ian Schrager?
Some feature that only you are obsessed by in hotels?
Keep checking back and eventually, maybe we’ll be able to use these kind of postings on the Perfect Escapes site. For now, they will reside here but I’m curious to see how helpful a community can be.
