    I have a task at work to name a string of super rad hotels and I want to propose naming them after vintage cars, ie: perisianne, streamline, stratocast etc.

    Let me have them.

    Cranbrook
    Belvedere
    Savoy
    Plaza
    Fury

    Some of these were also very famous hotel names.

    I bet staying in a hotel named Fury would be super rad...:eek:


    Maybe get a Jack Nicholson lookalike as a manager?

    Is this for real?
    Your company is really going to name the hotels after cars or is it just one of many proposal ideas?

    Be wary of suggesting naming a Hotel after a car that itself was named after a Hotel...
    Or a city that probably already has a hotel in it named after the city, like Biscayne = Biscayne Bay.
    Windsor = Windsor, Canada
    Bel Air = The hills around UCLA between Santa Monica and Beverly Hills
    Etc.

    They've already been used in their respective cities and would ba a "HUH?" anywhere else.

    I don't think many folks would want to stay in a hotel called King Midget.

    Just a proposal, old car names used to be so regal and larger than life as were the cars in some cases, I just thought it would be a cool idea, I would obviously only use ones that are not being used by oother hotels but it is a concept.

    Thanks for the names guys, I have included them in my proposal.
