Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/petramareview.jpg" class="top"> Have you ever wanted to have a young-celeb-lady freakout?

Crew and Tablet Hotels Giving Away a Greek Vacay http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/17/93143/8998 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/jcrewsantorini.jpg" class="top"> If you fail to see a connection between prepster-outfitter J. Crew and the country of Greece, pause for a moment and think of this: White. Linen. Pants. You're on a balcony in <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/city/Santorini">Santorini</a>; the wind's in your hair as you gaze out onto the sparkling sea... while you're wearing a royal blue shirt and white linen pants from J. Crew, naturally. Or a white cotton sundress and a <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/accessories/hatsscarves/PRDOVR~13713/13713.jsp">big floppy hat</a>, even! Forget the cashmere, cardigans and suiting of the Connecticut-country-club J. Crew you're thinking of; J. Crew is also known for their killer beachwear. And, appropriately, they're teaming up with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/tablet%20hotels">Tablet Hotels </a>to give you some of that beachy stuff plus the Jenna 2009-02-17T09:47:02-05:00 Greek Danai Hotel Doesn't Play Fair With Gorgeous Pools http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/27/184/34581 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Danai_Beach_Hotel_Pool.jpg" class="top"> You can sway our hotel booking decision with a sexy pool any day. Put the pool on a sunny Greek peninsula and you won't have much trouble convincing us to come stay. So the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Danai+Beach+Resort+And+Villas/ian/208469">Danai Beach Resort and Villas</a> at Chalkidiki has just scored itself a pretty big thumbs up from us.We admit this admiration is purely superficial and based only on a fantastic-looking pool, but the rooms sound okay too--air-conditioned, internet access, and a marble bathroom and marble floors. Most of the pools attached to suites are heated, so even if our Greek holiday isn't at the height of summer, we'll be able to go swimming. That's important.Unfortunately, poolside luxury doesn't come that cheap.

It looks like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Fairmont%20Hotels">Fairmont Hotels</a> gang think the same because they've just announced a new property called the Fairmont Corfu Resort & Spa. No prizes for figuring out it's on the island of Corfu, okay?<a href="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/12/14/131223/25/travel/Tourists+Reappear+as+Riots+Abate+in+Athens%2C+But+Tension+Remains">Riots or not</a>, we have faith that Greece is a great place for a relaxing vacation. Just imagine this for the setting of a resort:<blockquote>Bordered by olive groves, cypress-forested areas and sandy beaches with views of the Ionian Sea and the surrounding mountains.</blockquote>That's what the new Fairmont Corfu is promising and we've got to say, it sounds like something for us.

This hotel is strictly going to be a luxury resort.The resort will have a couple of pools, four tennis courts and a golf course. Note: They are proud its unusual to have a golf course in Greece; we are thinking its weird to have a golf course in Greece. A large Raffles Amrita Spa is also planned as is a long private beach, so if relaxing ever becomes an Olympic sport then this will be the right place to train.Currently, the easiest way to get to the amandak 2008-11-07T15:35:09-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
