Living like a gossip girl has never been easier. Now anyone who has a little extra savings tucked away can party like Chuck Bass and drink cocktails inspired after favorite
Gossip Girl characters. All one has to do is book the “Queen Bee Suite” at the hotel owned by Chuck Bass,
The Empire Hotel, and experience the life of luxury just like the queen herself, Chuck Bass or any of the cast members of the hit show.
“The Empire”, as it’s referred by Chuck Bass himself, has seen a huge increase in sales since its debut on the show last autumn. “When the show's stars, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick, are at the hotel filming, it isn't unusual for crowds of around 400 people to gather outside the hotel's entrance on West 63rd Street,” claims CNN entertainment reporter, Kate Ryan.
The crowds are no surprise, seeing as at
The Empire Hotel one can watch their favourite characters’ favourite movies, read their favourite books and listen to their favourite music all the while lounging in silk pajamas. Available in-room are movies by Blair Waldorf's favourite idol, Audrey Hepburn, in addition to other cast favourites like Dead Poets Society (Nate's favourite),
The Devil Wears Prada (Jenny's favourite) and books by JD Salinger (Dan's favourite) and Ernest Hemingway (Serena's favourite). If the character’s faves don’t excite, one can read up on news from fashion and the city that never sleeps with New York magazine, WWD and The New York Times.
At The Empire you can eat and drink like an Upper East Sider with an in-room dining and beverage menu available on request. This menu was inspired by the show including drink
cocktails called “I'm Chuck Bass”, after the character’s famous pick-up line, “Georgina's Mind Eraser”, in reference to her villainous acts towards fan-favourite Serena, and “
XOXO”, the show’s own catchphrase, and when one gets hungry, Gossip Girl favorites like macaroons, croissants, chocolate and strawberries, and grilled cheese are always available.
Without a doubt the publicity that
Gossip Girl has provided is the best thing that could ever happen for
The Empire Hotel, and it does not hurt the show to have wealthy, international business people and tourists ordering cocktails and room service in accordance to the
CW hit. Seeing as the hotel has a long contract with the television show, we will definitely be seeing more of “The Empire” and it’s luxurious, modern, and sophisticated style on everybody’s favourite show.
“You know you love me”,
XOXO
Gossip Girl
