One Direction’s Music Video Sells Hotel Rooms

One Direction’s Music Video Sells Hotel Rooms

3

This past week One Direction came out with their newest music video, “Perfect:”

It’s filmed at the InterContinental New York Times Square, and apparently the video is having a real impact on bookings at the hotel. Via TMZ:

The manager at the hotel tells us the free ad has been a bonanza. The penthouse, where Harry Styles laid on the bed, is booked solid for the rest of the week at $5k a night.

Same for the Manhattan suites, which will only set fans back $1,500 a night. Sold out.

The hotel had no idea it would score prime real estate in the music video … they insist they didn’t pay for the plug.

Man oh man! Having recently been to a One Direction concert in London, I have a better appreciation than ever before of how serious One Direction fans take the band. But goodness, spending $5,000+ per night to stay in the same room a video was filmed in… well, those are some supportive parents!

    IC Times Square was a great location for our last tip to NYC. Used an Ambassador Weekend Cert. Booked the Jr Suite which has windows on 3 sides - up & down 8th Av. + east to TImes Square. Since this was apparently the highest room type, so there was no upgrade, they gave us Breakfast. I asked if that could be room service, and the nice clerk said yes. So 2 $100.00 BFast later, we left wanting to go back . BTW. Nice, fun song.

    ...or there might be other fans in your age group, Ben, that don't have to rely on their parents' financial support. ;-)
