Paging the Editor

Try and decipher this Bloomberg article.  The article's title says that the Fairmont hotel, located on Nob Hill in San Francisco, is being sold for $200 million, but the sale is not mentioned in the article.  The article instead discusses a complex financing plan for the company that owns the Fairmont hotel, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Inc.  This sentence made me smile:

The resort chain, used as settings for Alfred Hitchcock films including North by Northwest and Vertigo, has included a so-called ratings grid that would be used to price the $500 million loan when it obtains ratings, said the person, who didn’t want to be identified because the plans aren’t public.

How can a corporation be used used as a movie set?  For someone who agonizes over my own small writing mistakes, the article made me realize I'm not the only one who occasionally makes an error.
