HGTV had the best lounge during Alt hands down. The room was themed for their show Selling New York, complete with a glitter encrusted Lady Liberty! When you first went in, you were given a great HGTV bag (perfect for shopping), a fun pin, and a warm welcome. They had the best food spread. In the morning, tons of yummy bread to go along with coffee, tea, and even Stephens Hot Chocolate!
I enjoyed my hot chocolate a lot, especially while sitting out in the Grand America courtyard. The tables in the lounge were really fun as well, with gold textured table clothes.
There were places to recharge your batteries (both metaphorical batteries and real ones), free WiFi, and lots of good conversation. After the lunch keynote, the breads were replaced by some seriously decadent treats! Brownies, goldies, and cookies galore! I’ve always loved HGTV anyway, but now that I know what great parties they throw, I love them even more.
Oooh! I love all the shiny!
Love it! Love HGTV, too. One of the few cable channels I miss. :o(
