Those who bragalax love to stay at the most expensively hip hotels in the cities they visit (usually NYC or LA, the 2 world capitals of bragalaxin). In addition to the obvious primary goal of showing everyone that you love to spend money lavishly on yourself, bragalaxin about one's hotel has the added secondary effect of indirectly bragalaxin about one's travels, which is probably the most bragalaxed topic of all time.
examples:
Five minutes=Time I spent at my $400 suite at the Soho Grand Hotel this weekend
This invites people to ask - what WERE you doing this weekend? To which the poster would reply:
"Spent most of my time in LES. Last nite got crazy at Gold Bar. Bypassed line, straight into VIP, chilled with Jay Z and Beyonce. Those guy's know how to throw down."
For those who are too poor, or just work too much at their super important job (the second most bragalaxed topic of all time), you can alternatively bragalax about drinking fancy cocktails at the lobby bars of hip hotels.
Full moon over Thompson Hotel on Drinkwater roofdeck in east village. Way too many prepositions.
Back at the gph...oh rose bar, I've been ousted as mayor!
note: GPH is bragalax slang for the Grammercy Park Hotel. This is a brilliant bait technique, inviting comments from lady friends asking what GPH is. To which the bragalaxer would reply:
Just a hotel in Grammarcy Park. I would have stayed there but I left my Amex Black card in the glove box of my Porsche back at the VIP lot at the airport.
Bragalax Combos: Advanced Techniques
The hotel + important job bragalax: The accidental Ritz upgrade is a nice unintentional birthday gift from the firm...
The hotel bar + Porsche Bragalax: rarely get upset anymore when the Ritz Carlton jacks up my Porsche and then denies it ever happened. And we never landed on the moon either.
The rare triple bragalax: an advanced technique which incorporates not one, not two, but THREE popular bragalax topics (travel, hotel bar and foodie).
Priorities for this weekend (in order): 1. the High Line; 2. pork buns and/or noodle bowl at Momofuku; 3. Jade Bar at GPH.
this hotel bragalax is so true though

ReplyDelete"I have learned that sometimes, you just need to complain to the right people... after enduring the jackhammering going on in the front of this Westin, I have now been upgraded to a little piece of corner room paradise. Now this, is what I call heavenly."
