No privacy for couple in NY hotel

When a London couple were offered a complimentary stay at a plush New York hotel, they must have thought it was too good to be true.
And they would have been right, Duncan Malcolm and Katherine Lewis have just settled into their free hotel room ... under the gaze of pedestrians and motorists.
The 'room' they are staying in at the Roger Smith Hotel is on the ground floor, has windows facing out onto the street and as a condition of their free stay they must keep the curtains open until 7.30pm each evening.
If someone offers you the chance to get a free stay in Amsterdam for turning yourself into a similar living advertisement, don't. It is NOT the same.

The replica of room 501 was built to show off the Manhattan hotel in conjunction with Real Live Billboards, which stages live events for advertising and promotional purposes.
