Yeah, guess I was just thinking of a evening reception event which is a common theme in Embassy and Homewood. Certainly aimed a bit at the Portlandia crowd, though ironically I'll be curious to see how the brand goes over because a lot of their target audience might think of a Hilton property as "too corporate" for their interests. The whole local/artsy thing has become pretty mainstream lately, though, so maybe they're aiming for the hipster-lite types?
