Default Hotels in Space

Ok, I hope I am not pushing my luck. In the thread 'BBC's Pegasus spaceship'
I noticed this little message.

IMO, the best way to solve this problem is to eliminate
it. Our "Saturn Hotel" concept has no connecting ring
between rotating and non-rotating parts. The whole
station rotates--including the hangar/docking/departure
area on the centerline.


Do you have any information available on the "Saturn Hotel" concept. There
doesnt appear to be any references on your site?




So okay, assuming someone really gets to build a hotel in LEO in the next few
years, what features does it need to attact today's customers (I am assuming
tickets in the $100,000 to million dollar per person) so that they can enjoy
a week's stay?

Example, which makes more sense, a zero gee pool or zero gee racket-ball?
Both take up the same space but the pool can be used by anyone I think, the
racket ball room requires 'you be quick or you be dead' in a game. Or maybe
put on wings and fly?
