Body in the bath

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1337163/Woman-dead-bathtub-SoHo-House-hotel-NY.html

 Emergency were called to a New York Hotel frequented by celebrities such as Gwen Stephanie, to find the dead body of a woman sitting upright in an overflowed bathtub in one of the hotel's luxury suites.           The son of a celebrity song writer was taken in for questioning. It seems the father-not the son-had prior to this been awaiting trial for sex offences.

Nest of indiscression too fussy for Brit.

Freedom to get into and out of this hotel unobserved is said to be part of the attraction of Chateau Marmont for the stars some of whom leave in a coffin. 
   Referenced in Eagles song- Hotel California-
 1930's Hollywood Gothic Medieval Revivalist pastiche love nest and  drug den for deeply sordid scandals and publicity generating happenings. All the worst people have checked in. Years ago because it was inexpensive. Nowadays $3000. AUD /night in a villa.          
 Further evidence Chateau Marmont is aiming up market, some people in recent history have actually been evicted for declasse behaviour ie Britney Spears-in the garden-food on wrong part of body-banned for life- see link:

Surfing champion on his way home found dead in Dallas hotel

  A surfing champion on his way home from a contest and too ill to catch his flight, stopped over at an airport hotel and was subsequently found dead in his hotel room. He was 32 years old.
   Unable to board a flight home to Hawaii, it would have been possible to enter the hotel lobby directly from the airport departure lounge and to check in from a check-in kiosk on the meeting room level of the hotel.
   The hotel has specially soundproofed rooms, which it would need due to aircraft noise levels. The state of the art air filtration system in designated smoker's rooms are mentioned on the hotel's official website.   Painkillers and sleeping pills are reported to have been present at the death scene.    The deceased man suffered from a tropical disease carried by mosquitoes, symptoms from which prevented him from being in good enough health to board his flight and had made him withdraw from a surfing contest; reason for his travel presumably.
    Presumably no one would have heard him cry out if he had been unable to call emergency or he may have died in his sleep from drug combination overdose.     If foul play occurred, no reports have yet speculated, but the situation of the hotel could imply ease of access to guest areas.       The deceased man was sponsored by Billabong surf wear and was returning home to his fiance who was expecting his baby in one month.

Manservant bashed to death at historic London hotel

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101020/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_saudi_prince

London's historic and luxurious Landmark Hotel evidently has surveillance security cameras in the lifts and film from these was used as evidence to convict a saudi prince in a case involving the brutal death of his manservant.

Assassination in Dubai

  A man checked into a hotel in Dubai and was subsequently assassinated with security surveillance camera evidence and media coverage exposing a complex international spy saga involving the use of stolen passports of several nations.

Death at Hyde Park Towers

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1324723/Hotel-guest-starved-death-leaving-Do-Not-Disturb-sign-door.html
   An evidently unassuming man checked into a London hotel for an apparently intended long duration stay, left out the -DO NOT DISTURB- sign and was discovered dead by the maid 2 weeks later.   An autopsy and coroner's inquest ensued resulting in a finding of death by starvation.                                        How did this occur and what was the purpose of the deceased man's visit to London?         On the basis of the Daily Mail report which can be accessed from this post at the above link, not much light appears to have been shed on the matter.    
  * Hyde Park Towers Hotel  where the death occurred,           is a different hotel from Hyde Park Hotel and should not be confused.
