Is this a trend of things to come? Social media themed hotels are now popping up fast. The New York Times notes another one has started.

Sol Wave House is the "first Tweet Experience Hotel in the world." You can take photos and tweet at certain designated areas, and use special hashtags, and you'll even have a Twitter concierge who will manage activities and handle requests over Twitter.

Guests will use the free hotel Wi-Fi to sign into a special app so discussions involving people's exact locations aren't public.

Rooms range from $100 to $300 a night at Sol Wave House. And if you think this is the last we'll see of these "social media hotels", Meliá Hotels, the company that owns Sol Wave House, has 350 other hotels in their arsenal. Pretty soon they're all going to be connected. [NYTimes]
