Couple on exhibit in free hotel room
January 29, 2009
A British couple visiting New York said they have accepted a free five-star hotel room with one catch — they will be watched by passersby through clear walls.
Duncan Malcolm and Katherine Lewis said the Roger Smith Hotel, located in the heart of New York’s Manhattan borough, told them they can stay for free in a replica room built on the ground floor of a nearby building with the provision that the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows are kept open between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Britain’s The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
The couple said the bedroom and the bathroom of the replica hotel room are hidden from the view. They said they plan to stay in the room for five days.
