But for me, the best food in Bangkok is still found on the streets or in tiny family style restaurants in little alleys.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Café_de_Paris_(Rome)
The location on Via Veneto puts the hotel very close to several other luxury/close to luxury properties in Rome. Rome certainly needs this as it is very difficult to find a good place to stay in Rome at many times of the year now and prices tend to soar to some of the highest levels in Europe. Given that they need to also evict the current tenants- I would say 2017 is extremely optimistic as an opening schedule.

pen shanghai is selling 19 apartments and continuing to lease 20 apartments, looks like 2 month minimum and quite expensive
The most amazing customer service was from The Four Seasons Maui. My husband ordered some Ahi Sashimi. When he received it, it had quite a few blood clots in it. THAT was disgusting looking. They asked what we thought might be a fair resolution. I told them a nice assortment of house made chocolate truffles would be very nice. Well, they actually took the whole night off our room bill, sent the truffles and asked us to have our next dinner on them. WOW, we were astounded! All tolled, the dollar figure was about $1800-2000. Our room was $1,000 plus tax and all the extra taxes we get soaked for in Hawaii, the meal was roughly $550 with a nice bottle of wine they sent to our table

Location rumored to be the entire building located at Via V. Veneto 90, (and somewhat famous from the days of La Dolce Vita) Cafe de Paris location. The Cafe has a long publicized history- a summary of which can be found here:

Rumors point to the direction of a luxury hotel.

The Fashion World is Boycotting The Dorchester Collection of Hotels
http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/20...ion_of_Hotels_
The Dorchester Collection hotel group is coming under fire from the fashion world and it could mean the loss of some very high-profile, and high-paying, guests.
The LA Times reports that the owner of the luxury hotel collection is the Brunei Investment Agency, an extension of the Brunei government just upped the penalty for being a homosexual from 10 years in prison to death by stoning.

This topic has already had its own thread, which moved to Omni. Suggest we resist further discussion of the topic here.
