  • Keep - Luxury hotel next to the Russian presidential palace, the Constantine Palace. The participants in the 2006 G8 summit, which included many heads of state, were housed here[1][2], for which this hotel was reconstructed for. --Oakshade 05:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment The first link is a photo of 'some woman' at an exhibit. The second link mentions the building of the hotel, it doesn't actually state that heads of state stayed there but VIPs, even then simply because a 'famous' person has stayed there, doesn't give it notability as a hotel, there isn't a hotel in the world which couldn't claim a famous guest. --Russavia 07:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
The photo is of Laura Bush at the Baltic Star Hotel. --Oakshade 15:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I know who it is, it was said half in jest. But half not. I can dig out a photo of Mahatir Mohammed at the Sheraton Langkawi Resort from the early 90s from one of my jaunts, but this does not require an article on the Sheraton Langkawi based upon that criteria only. That was the point I was making. --Russavia 16:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep involved in notable events. Places where notable events are held are notable. Spam can be dealt with by editing. Thus, many luxury hotels will in fact be notable. DGG (talk) 07:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
