SoHo House Hotel is a members-only hotel located in the heart of New York City. It’s long been a playpen for the rich and famous. While it’s not the sort of hotel where grisly acts occur, in December of 2010, a guest would complain of water leaking from the ceiling. Hotel management went to investigate and what they found in the hotel room directly above would shatter the idyl of the celebrity hotspot.
