Here's an in-depth look at where you will be staying. We toured the property the other day and it's clear the room to book is the Cool Corner Suite. We peeked into one of these suites on the 5th floor and the star of the suite was the private balcony overlooking the hotel's sexy pool scene along with views of Zen Garden and Camelback Mountain. The suite itself is about 600-sq.ft. with a floating signature W Bed (all rooms feature a floating bed look), a fully-tricked out desk with a personal computer, a giant flat-screen TV and a spa-style bathroom featuring

How Many Justin Bieber Bodyguards Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

Well, judging from how many of them it takes to babysit him while he eats dinner, we're guessing: a lot.

The Biebs was spotted at New York's Dream Downtown on Saturday night, dining at Marble Lane with his pal Usher. According to Page Six, the pair stopped in for a late dinner, and were taken to a corner booth of the ground-floor restaurant. Surrounding them throughout the entire meal were four bodyguards, plus an extra "lookout guy" to make sure no one came close enough to swipe their bread sticks.

Stay? Play? Eat? Chill? You Can Do It All At The Out NYC For Only $150 a Night

ASchechter — 2012-02-13T10:15:02-05:00

That's right, due to a special opening rate (which they've cleverly called the "Coming Out" special), the first guests who stay at The Out NYC will snag rooms starting at just $150/night. Not bad!

The 152-room "straight-friendly" hotel, which opens on March 1 (but who's counting?), has fallen into our good graces with these revised openings rates, which we originally reported would hover around $229/night. Instead, $150/night for a Superior King—that's right, we're not messing around with one of those sleep share dorm-style rooms, at least not until well after the opening—is waaay more to our liking.

Make that The Jameses. <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/948'>The James Royal Palm</a> is moving in right next door to the Loews at the end of the year and it looks like the stalwart is preparing for the hot, young newcomer with some glam new additions of its ownlike new cabanas. Loews has recently undergone a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/23/111853/77/hotels/The_Loews_Miami_Beach_Gets_a_Facelift_To_Keep_Up_With_Hot_New_Neighbors">big renovation</a> (new lobby, refreshed guest rooms, an ice-cream parlor and boutique), but when we saw this construction in the hotel's backyard the other day, we realized that the hotel
