Exclusive Preview Event at Exit Art NYC Featured Special Musical Performances by Mayer Hawthorne & The County and DJ ?uestlove

New York, NY (December 8, 2011) – Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos executives were in NYC recently to showcase a new, innovative and free guest amenity program, The Sound of Your Stay™ (SOYS). The private preview, produced by BMF Media Group, was a cocktail party featuring executive meet-and-greets and live performances, taking place at Exit Art NYC, with a menu from renowned “rock n’ roll chef” Kerry Simon. Musical performances include Mayer Hawthorne & The County, DJ ?uestlove, John 5 from Marilyn Manson, DJ Jeffrey Tonneson, and two-time DMC world champion DJ Shiftee.

A cool mint on your pillow may be nice, but how about a curated list of songs? Perhaps a hot Fender® guitar instead? Or a professional DJ system? True to the luxury brand’s immersive musical ethos, The Sound of Your Stay is designed to provide Hard Rock guests with a unique and all-encompassing music experience. The program is currently offered at a limited number of properties, with plans to continue rolling out beginning early 2012.  Eventually, all properties will offer this musical amenity.

Hard Rock Hotel Bali once again conducted the annual Rock ‘n Run – The 11th Chapter on 27 November 2011. A sea of Hard Rock T-Shirt runners sponsored by Reebok flocked to the Kuta Beach on bright shiny Sunday to join the fun run event.
 
Perfect weather greeted more than 550 runners as they gathered together to embark on this annual charity event and to “Run for someone else’s life”.  At 6.30am, the 5K charity run was officially started by Camat Kuta, accompanied by Mr. Brad Calder, Executive Assistant Manager of Hard Rock Hotel Bali. After a competitive run the winners rounded the bend into Jalan Pantai to cross the finish line in front of Hard Rock Hotel Bali.

Kelly Osbourne, former reality TV star (along with her adorable dad) and all-around amazing person, helped Hard Rock Hotels kick off its Pinktober campaign for breast cancer awareness at the gorgeous Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. As Hard Rock Hotels' Pinktober ambassador, Kelly has been spreading the word about the campaign, now entering it 12th year stronger than ever.

If you have stayed at a couple of different Hard Rock Hotels you might have noticed that while they all definitely feel like a Hard Rock, there are some differences too. Some are buzzing urban hubs. Others are laid back and focused on the pool and beach. And you might have observed that a few have colorful tables with people sitting at them holding playing cards. They don't just feel different, they sound different, too.

Tracks, Hard Rock's complimentary music program, continues to grow and evolve. Yes, we are up to Volume 5, and yes, we are now mobile and global. This time around we have venerable New York indie label DFA curating a list for your aural delectation. So let your ears dig in.

Saturday at Lollapalooza this year was just as busy and music-filled as the first day.

White Lies came by the Fender Filter Lollapalooza Lounge at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago.

For the first official day of Lollapalooza, Hard Rock Hotel and Hard Rock Cafe were popping with events and after parties. And our team was running around the festival in the crowd and backstage gathering memorabilia to add to our 70,000 pieces of Rock N Roll memorabilia collection. 

Artists like White Lies, Black Cards, Electric Touch, Maps & Atlases, and Cults were stopping by and hanging out in the Fender/Filter suite at Hard Rock Hotel Chicago all day long.
