The other day I received an invite to experience this new concept which the &#8220;Trident Hotels&#8221; group is implementing and I was the first to try it out. No other information given, the only clause being that I could experience everything at the Hotel but would need to Check-in through Foursquare. <\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This was not a paid activity &#038; I opted for it for fun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This was interesting because I have been a regular user on <a href=\"https:\/\/foursquare.com\/amitbhawani\">foursquare<\/a> and have been checking into different places all around the world. But a Concept of Getting a Room at a 5 Star Hotel through a online app is something new. Following this there were a series of talks only through Twitter and we experienced something phenomenal. Read few of the tweets below. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Checking in (@ Hotel Trident) [pic]: <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/O0KFvd5587\">http:\/\/t.co\/O0KFvd5587<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Amit Bhawani ??
