Day one for the money: hotel where Elvis slept holds liquidation sale
0 Comments | AFP, January, 2008
WASHINGTON (AFP) — A historic hotel in Washington, which has hosted celebrities ranging from Marilyn Monroe to Elvis and served as the setting for Hollywood movies, on Thursday began a liquidation sale before it undergoes a makeover.
When the Hotel Washington, which sits in the shadow of the White House, opened its doors at 9:00 am for start of the sale, several dozen people paid five dollars and went inside, ready to work their way through kitchens, ballrooms, restaurants and bedrooms -- including 506, where The King slept in the 1970s -- to snap up deals.
"This is day one and the sale will go on for three weeks until we are sold out," said Frank Long of International Content Liquidations, which is overseeing the sell-off of the hotel's family jewels.
