Behind Closed Doors at Opus Hotel.

GENERAL MANAGER'S ONLINE BLOG GIVES READERS BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT HOTEL OPERATIONS

(Vancouver, B.C.) - Curious as to what goes on behind closed doors at Opus Hotel? Now, hotel guests have an all-access pass to Opus' inner workings, as General Manager Daniel Craig has begun posting an online blog - a first in the hotel industry. From the strange to the mundane, readers will get a feel for day-to-day routines at Opus and interesting, anecdotal occurrences - though Craig promises to "take Stephen King's advice to writers: ...leave out the boring parts." He also promises to "dish some dirt", but will always protect the privacy of Opus guests, which is paramount.

Craig's blog documents everything from humorous guest requests - such as one guest's desire to give birth in an Opus room - to his experiences, both good and bad, with Hollywood starlets. His familiar, frank voice infuses life into the indeterminate title of "General Manager," and allows readers to vicariously experience the 'wining and dining' lifestyle of the hotel executive.

Craig has been in the hotel business for over twelve years, and served as Opus Hotel's Director of Sales and Marketing for two years before being promoted to General Manager in 2004. Craig's first blog leaves readers with a promissory statement: "I promise to be a blogger, not a flogger," he says. "I'll keep Opus propaganda to a minimum. The hotel's track record speaks for itself."

To view Craig's blog, visit www.opushotel.com, and click on the "GM Blog" link on the lower left hand side of the page. Uniquely stylish and always fresh, Opus Hotel redefines the boutique experience, blending contemporary design with warmth and intuitive service. Ninety-six guestrooms feature vibrant colours, spa bathrooms and five lifestyle-inspired dŽcor schemes. Located in fashionable Yaletown, close to Vancouver's best restaurants, spas and boutiques, the hotel is home to bistro moderne Elixir and the dramatic Opus Bar. Opus was recently voted one of the world's top 100 hotels by readers of CondŽ Nast Traveler magazine. For information and reservations call toll-free 1 866 642-6787.
