Butler was very proud that the Remington hotel named the media room after him, and he gushed about it to late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. In the same interview, Gerard Butler said he "loves" the city of Shreveport.
The unique space is versatile, according to the Remington's Goodwin: "The room is on the fifth floor and seats about 15 people and has also been used for football games and all sorts of interesting things," she added.
Situated in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana, the Remington Suite Hotel is easy to find, yet possesses a more private tucked-away feeling that is absent from most chain hotels.
The structure was built in 1907 and formerly housed a traditional family owned pharmacy. Completely renovated, the boutique hotel offers touches of the past with architectural features such as exposed brick and wood beams, while maintaining a modern sensibility. The lobby, anterooms and halls are tastefully decorated and show warm, eclectic design influences.
Another new feature for the hotel is the completion of a rooftop area that offers space for fitness quests such as yoga and Pilates. Live music can be heard on the roof from an assortment of regional bands during the 'Remington On The Roof' fall concert series. With its comfortable chairs and tables, the roof is a popular spot for hotel guests to relax and unwind.
"We recently had our first rooftop event and Highway Lines performed," Goodwin said. The assistant manager was on duty at the time of the event, but she said she was able to check in on the festivities on the rooftop. "Everyone was having fun," Goodwin said.
Twenty-two individually decorated suites are available, and they range from a compact standard suite all the way to a grande suite, which is a bi-level luxury space with a dramatic spiral staircase. No two suites are exactly alike, which adds to the unique cachet of the hotel. Some suites are contemporary, while others lean more toward traditional decorating styles. Remington guest services can expertly match a guest with the proper suite requirements. Four event spaces are available at the site, including the new Royale area, which is suitable for parties, receptions and presentations. Ark-La-Tex.com
