Guests, Running Late, Wake Up Hotels
By SHARON McDONNELL

Hotels have upgraded their beds, enhanced their technology, added more spa services and become more pet- and child-friendly in recent years. But their wake-up service? That is another story.......

The voices of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or others in the Las Vegas Rat Pack, with matching background music, wake guests at the Renaissance Las Vegas, which is part of Marriott. Comics from Chicago’s comedy club, the Second City, pretend to be Al Capone or other Chicago celebrities at the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites Hotel. Austin Powers (“Wakey wakey, baby — time to let your mojo rise and shine”), Marilyn Monroe (a breathy “Good morning, Mr. President”) and Yoda of “Star Wars” wake guests at the Curtis, a Denver hotel with a pop culture theme that opened in January. At Gaylord Opryland resort in Nashville, wake-up calls come from Grand Ole Opry singers or the “American Idol” finalist Kellie Pickler.

That's so cool! I wonder if you get to choose who calls you?

That would be cool.

(Anyone else remember the old Opryland theme park? I think it's what occupied that site before the Gaylord hotel.)
