NEW YORK - A London couple visiting the Big Apple have settled into their hotel room - under the eyes of thousands of pedestrians and motorists.
Duncan Malcolm and Katherine Lewis are receiving a complimentary five-day stay at Manhattan's Roger Smith Hotel in exchange for staying in a replica of one of the hotel's rooms on the ground floor of a nearby building.
As part of the agreement, the couple must keep the curtains on the room's large glass windows open between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. until Friday, allowing passers-by to watch them.
The hotel partnered with the Real Live Billboards company, which stages live events for advertising and promotional purposes.
In December, heavyweight boxer Tor Hamer was featured in the hotel's storefront window exchanging punches with his trainer.

couldn't they just go out from 4:30-7:30 and just put their stuff in the closet so basically all people see is a cleaned room

It's a window....with a person on the other side.

There's something there that should be blocking the person. Looks like an AC Unit?
And yet you can still see the person
:haha:

I believe the picture was taken by someone outside, as you can see the glass/reflection on the guy's jacket. So the old lady is a reflection of a person walking towards the same window where the person who took the picture is standing.

That's a pretty good deal. There are people that keep their curtains open and allow people outside to see everything going on inside their house normally. This couple got a free five-day stay.
