To celebrate the one year anniversary of the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles, Marriott is running a crazy promotion where you can get the Chairman's Suite for $1 a night. Obviously only a limited number of rooms will be made for this promotion, but it's worth a shot anyway. The rooms go on sale today at 8am Pacific Time (11EST for those mathematically challenged). I'm not sure if I'll be at the computer, but it would be great if a TPG reader snagged one of these rooms.

While I haven't stayed at this JW, I have been there for a private event on the rooftop pool and I have to say it is a gorgeous property. I was also impressed with downtown LA and highly recommend the restaurant Rivera.
