Courtney Love banned from Claridge's Hotel

Rocker Courtney Love has reportedly been banned from the plush Claridge's Hotel in London.

Love, who started a fire in a £1,630 ($3,341) per-night suite on her last visit, was reportedly refused a room when she recently tried to book a room at the exclusive hotel.

A source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror: "Courtney is desperate to stay in Claridge's again, but when her people tried to get her a suite it was a no go. Even the best known fixers in the business can't get her in there.

"When Courtney's name was mentioned they were told it was fully booked. But when her people rang up again requesting the same dates under a different name they were told there were a number of suites available."

43-year-old Love was allegedly smoking a cigarette in her Claridge's suite when the fire broke out on her last visit. The room had to be redecorated and a fire marshal was stationed outside her suite for the remainder of her stay.
