If I was staying at a Marriott (the San Francisco Marriott to be precise), and they gave me the Presidential Suite, does that make me a 15 minute celebrity of the Andy Warhol variety while I was staying there? |
Hulk Hogan et al. at a Minneapolis Marriott.
Lots of Sox players and executives at Starr Pass Resort. |
I forgot one...on many many occasions I've seen Mr. Hockey (Gordie Howe)...this was many many years after his retirement too so I dont know if he'd count as an Hockey Player or a non-professional Hockey Player

Nonetheless, for those interested, Ben Stein is staying tonight in the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. I ran into him downstairs while he was checking in and again in the CL. He was very friendly. I didn't have the nerve to ask him to say "Bueller", as that may have soured his attitude a bit and resulted in some much-warranted eye rolling. :p He said he's speaking tomorrow at a convention or conference for Lincoln Financial, and he'll be leaving afterwards.

We ran into Muhammad Ali after breakfast in the Louisville Marriott downtown last March. He was there because the Ali Center was replaying the Rumble in the Jungle fight. We had no idea he was in town, so I was a bit disbelieving when I got up from the table and my wife said "Here comes Muhammad Ali."

Lawerence Taylor at the San Juan Marriott -- we actually do look alike:)

Not exactly a celeb, but I saw Bill Marriott at the Paris Marriott Hotel Champs-Elysees a few years ago.

Tiger Woods at the JW in Shanghai in Nov '06.
Alan Alda & Angela Bissett or Bassett (Mrs Hazmike would know as she recognized her) at the Memphis Marriott. I met Mr Marriott at the Loa Suenos Resort in Costa Rica years ago. Mike Tyson at EWR A/P Marriott. |
Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski/Duke) SLC Marriott City Center a few years back. Houston Rockets were playing the Jazz.
Hey, it beats Mike Tyson ;) |
Eric Estrada this past weekend at the JW New Orleans. My wife said he still looks "hot"...

I don't know if this would be a celebrity sighting on not, but I just had dinner with the Estonia Ambassador. I'm staying at the Cairo Marriott (the one on the Nile.) The hotel restaurant was fairly crowded and she asked if she could sit down at my table. Very nice lady and a great start to my Cairo trip. ^

Yes, Bill Marriott does qualify as a celebrity on THIS THREAD!
