And maybe that's why the cute stuffed animal, a resident at New York's $425-a-night A-list haunt, The The Bowery Hotel,has become a star in his own right.
Some have even hailed him as the 'the chicest bear in fashion' as dozens of 'It' girls, including Pixie Geldof, Karen Elson and Poppy Delevingne, have captured him holding court in their bedrooms.

Photographer, Amanda de Cadenet captioned her photo back in April, ’Guess who I'm sleeping with tonight’.
NYmag highlights that people, mostly women, have started uploading 'Bo snaps' to Instagram to alert 'various in-the-know friends that they're in town without being so obvious as, say, photographing the Chrysler Building.'

Each of the 135 red-and-white themed guest rooms at the Lower East Side venue comes complete with a teddy bear lying in wait on the duvet covers.
All are kitted out in the same outfits as the bellhops and doormen.
Added bonus: Each of the rooms at the Bowery Hotel, which start from $425, come with a Bo the bear

The adapted uniforms include a gold-buttoned military red coat, black pants and a bowler hat. Some have chosen to mix his style up a little. California and New York-based model, Alana Bunte kitted her bear out with a pair of thick-framed red spectacles and some bright eye make-up.
Bo the bear was first introduced at the Lower East Side landmark in October 2011.

Bowery Hotel proprietor, Sean MacPherson, told NYmag that it was seventies designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s famous coat that was made up of dozens of stitched together teddy bears that inspired the idea.
He said he chose the name Bo as it's short for Bowery - the street the hotel is located on - and because 'it’s an equal opportunity name; regardless of your sexual orientation'.

For those who want to take Bo home with them, there are sealed 'virgin bears' for sale in each room’s minibar.
Mr MacPherson says that while Bos don’t get washed, they are regularly switched out when they get a little ragged.
But, he adds, 'I think it’s fine if Bo’s gotten around a bit.'
