Hotels With Recording Studios
Ever since the halcyon days of excess at venues like LA’s Riot House, there’s been a tangible link between hotels and the spirit of rock ’n’ roll. Initially, this manifested itself in juvenile ways such as hurling TVs from balconies or riding motorbikes down hallways. Over time, it began to channel itself down more creative avenues. For example, John Lennon and Yoko Ono chose Montreal’s storied Fairmont Queen Elizabeth as the setting for their infamous "bed in" between May and June 1969. It was here, in the couple’s room, Lennon recorded the anti-war anthem "Give Peace a Chance," which quickly became an anthem for Vietnam War protestors across the United States. Closer to modern times, Room 78 at the notorious Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles played host to the writing and recording of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ famous "By The Way" song in 2001. The venue held a particular meaning for guitarist John Frusciante, who had lived at the Marmont in 1996 while he battled a near fatal drug addiction. These days, musicians don’t need to slum it in their rooms to record hit songs, as a small but growing number of hotels have started to feature their own recording facilities. Read on as we take a look at a number of Kiwi Collection hotels where guests can cut their next (or first) hit track.
