That's right, it's time for Cute Hotel Doggie of the Day! Today's little surfer dude may not seem seasonally appropriate but we can all benefit from a little cubicle dreaming on a Friday. Besides, this Frenchie is just too damn cute not to share. We found him on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LoewsHotels">Facebook page</a> for Loews Hotels, snapped hangin' four paws in this year's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Loews+Coronado+Bay+Resort+&+Spa/ian/126953">Loews Coronado Bay Resort</a> annual Surf Dog competition. When we first heard about dogs surfing we thought it was just a fad for rich hippies or a marketing gimmick,

We swoon at the idea of taking a gondola ride with our honey and we're big fans of massages (who isn't?), but we're not so sure about combining the two. The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Loews+Coronado+Bay+Resort+%26+Spa/ian/126953">Loews Coronado</a>'s latest romantic rudbown deal may have missed the boat. The hotel offers couples' massages on 33-foot gondolas while cruising down the waterways of the Coronado Cays. As part of the Voga Voyage package, you'll hop on an authentic Venetian gondolathough, the two massage beds aren't so authentically Venetianand depart from the resorts private marina. You lovebirds get a sunscreen application, since the sun can be especially harsh while out on the water, and

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/32083/somelikeithot.jpg" class="top"> Fans of the cross-dressing classic Some Like It Hot can celebrate the comedy's 50th anniversary by hanging with star Tony Curtis during a weekend of film-related festivities at the storied <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+del+Coronado/local/86">Hotel del Coronado</a>. Hosting the film's anniversary party is appropriate, since the Del appears in the flick as Miami's Seminole-Ritz Hotel. "The Del is so prominently featured in the movie, it almost becomes a fifth character," says Christine Donovan, the hotel's historian. The Del will pay homage to SLIH with a special two-day package that includes hotel digs (starting at $340 per night at the Del and $595 per night at the Beach Village at the Del), an SLIH DVD, a copy of the new book

The Loews Coronado is Now Employing a Berry Butler

EricRosen — 2009-07-21T17:00:56-05:00

We’ve heard of room valets and private butler service at fancy resorts, but this is the first time we’ve heard of a Berry Butler. That is just the position that was created to celebrate “National Berry Month” in July, however, when the Loews Coronado teamed up with Driscoll’s Berries.

Every Friday and Saturday until August 1, the Berry Butler will be at the hotel greeting guests with fresh berries, teaching kids to make fresh smoothies, hosting berry tastings with Loews’ executive chef, Marc Ehrler, and conducting adult cocktail (and kids’ mocktail) classes with the hotel’s mixology team.

But vacation getaways without a car in California? Let's just pray you enjoy your backyard.

While political hype talks about giving us a break with a gas tax free summer, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/loews%20hotels">Loews Hotels</a> is doing something about it. Their new "<a href="http://www.loewshotels.com/en/Hotels/Coronado-Bay-Resort/Offers/PackageDetails.aspx?XsltParams=PackageId,5">Money for Miles"</a> special guarantees you up to a $50 gas
