Themed business centres have been all the rage in recent years to make business meetings, and in my own case, press conferences, all the more interesting. The Sheraton has the Library. The Erawan had (since a while back) the Residence - a kitchen / living room style set of function rooms, to name but a few.
But late last year, the Erawan opened the Campus in a renovated B1 level. It was, as its name suggested, modelled after a 70's US high school and all the hotel staff were dressed in schoolgirl costumes complete with blazers (with a big E logo for the Erawan) and the rooms being classrooms. Oh, and refreshment was US style too to reflect the 70's (or was it 60's). However, soon after that, the Campus' staff reverted to their original hotel uniforms. Probably some thought it was improper to have grown women (and men) dress up as schoolgirls.
But the good news is that as of today, they are back.
Sign me up for every press conference at the Campus from now on, dear PR horde. Piccies next time - this time I was running late and had to deal with the prospect of a 50 year old PR manager hugging me as per his client's request due to a certain interview I had with his big, big boss. Sigh. Make that a 50 year old male PR too.
On a side note, the annoying security searches of one's bags were also removed. Guess someone finally came to their senses that it makes no sense from a security stnadpoint rummaging through purses if you allow visitors in with suitcases. The only thing that achieves is annoying legitimate visitors.
