Need help in naming a hotel (REWARD)
Hi guys,
I would like to know your perspective on naming our hotel 1984. (Yea, I have read the book - about 4 times)
- 1984 - I know some people have wide reservations about this name, but hear me out . some others have mentioned the possibility of making the rooms after Jan, Feb etc (I hate room numbers as well)- and theming them after events of that month. Plus naming the lounge 1985, and VIP area 1986. There is just a sense of familiarity and intrigue with that year (also thanks to the book)- though i understand the negative connotation attached - but quite a few people said it might be cool.
Instead of being scared of the whole big brother connotation, we could embrace it in the lobby design theme etc.
INTERESTINGLY,
*****Also there are no hotels in the city which are basically numbers and dates *****
So, Alternatively, IS THERE A SUPER SIGNIFICANT/DATE/YEAR/NUMBER YOU CAN THINK OF?
Thanks guys
IMPORTANT
Plus don't be rude. I am just looking for constructive feedback.
REWARD
The best explanation for/against 1984 or the suggestion of a new name would get a free 2nights stay with us, once we get going in July.

There's probably dozens of Makara 7 (January 7) hotels.
Odd choice. Ministry of Love style windowless rooms, brutalist concrete bed and fixtures? Sounds delightful. Just don't have a Room 101.
Are you taking over the new ministry of environment building? That looks like Orwellian architecture if I've ever seen it.

Comments like yours are the reason why people abandon some forums.
Just give constructive feedback instead of juvenile sarcasm and corny one-liners
And there are countless hotels in the world which are basically just numbers. Google is your friend

Yea, no room 101. Actually, am gonna do away with room numbers altogether. I never remember mine when I stay in hotels.epidemiks wrote:There's probably dozens of Makara 7 (January 7) hotels.

I haven't seen that building but I will take a look
Basically, we can also do a celebration of all events for 1984 (the positive ones) plus the music (as it was a big year for music)

MAYBE JUST THE LOBBY WILL BE 1984(book) THEMED. Not the rooms

Perfect. So, I also wanna know from people who have no idea about the book. So, to a person who doesn't know about the book, how does the name sound?Jamie_Lambo wrote:im not sure how many people would understand it all, i for one havent read the book

Only the lobby might have 1984 theme, rest of the hotel will just focus on subtle artwork marking the events of year 1984 . The book is just an undercurrent and a familiar name - which might grab some book readers' attention
And 1408 was a mindfuck indeed.

It's certainly an interesting concept, but not sure how it'd go. The picture in my head of a 1984 themed lobby doesn't look very inviting!Inshadesofblue wrote:Yea, no room 101.

Your bar will obviously have to be stocked exclusively with Victory gin. Maybe get some cleanskins from the Samai gin blokes in Tonle Bassac and make it fancy.

The lobby will be a fine line but I an speaking to a talented interior designer who might take on the challenge (and am sure can pull it off, based on her designs) but that's my second problemepidemiks wrote:It's certainly an interesting concept, but not sure how it'd go.
