One way to tell if the hotel you're staying at isn't just absurdly fancy, but absurdly fancy in, like, a cool way? Find out if it has a sneaker concierge.

WWD reports that the Dream Downtown, whose rooftop lounge PHD you probably remember from multiple 21st birthday parties, now has an entire employee dedicated to providing a sneaker concierge service for VIPs in its new Guest House suite.
