New York hotel refuses to rent room to Strauss-Kahn
Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was expected to leave Rikers Island Friday, trading his prison cell for house arrest, but his plan may have hit a road block.
Strauss-Khan’s wife, heiress Anne Sinclair, rented a luxurious apartment in Manhattan at Bristol Plaza, and was to pay the $200,000 a month it would cost to secure her husband inside who would be under house arrest while awaiting trial.
However, 1010 WINS has confirmed that the Plaza has turned away Sinclair once it was discovered Strauss-Kahn would be staying there. He may now be kept at Rikers Island for longer than expected.

The Plaza bills itself as a luxurious short-term rental building with elegantly furnished apartments, complete with marble baths, flat screen TVs, and maid service.
