<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/LeMeucake.jpg" class="top"> Ringing in the new year in Paris. Lucky you. Even luckier if you happen to swing through the 5-star Dorchester Collection hotel <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/1354">Le Meurice</a> to pick up a piece of their Galette des Reines and find, hidden inside the slice, a Tiffany & Co. charm. The tradition of "Queens Cake" is a long one, and though there's always the choking hazard of enjoying the winning bite, it's worth it for Tiffanys. That said, you'll be paying a pretty penny to even try for it. First off, the cake is only available from January 2-22 in the hotel's Restaurant Le Dali. Rooms at the hotel during this time are averaging 530 Euros per night, while Queen Cake

HotelChatter's Favorite Hotel Beds Ever

Sleep Week continues!

Yesterday, we looked at some of the things you hotel guests do to send yourself off to dreamland in a strange new hotel bed. And not surprisingly, a lot of you said the most crucial part of your sleep routine was the comfiness of the bed--in that if the bed is good, there shouldn't be any problems with getting shut-eye.

So that leads us to the question--where are the best hotel beds? We polled some of our editors and frequent contributors from our family of travel sites--HotelChatter, Jaunted and VegasChatter--(yup, we're all related!) and asked them to submit their favorite hotel bed experiences.

And they are....

Paris: Jay-Z and Beyonce Run the World From Atop Le Meurice

Beyonce and Jay-Z are living large at Hotel Le Meurice. The married couple are shacked up in a penthouse suite overlooking the Tuileries Garden for an eye-popping $20,000 a night. Beyonce better get on selling her new single, "Run the World (Girls)."

So what does $20,000 a night buy you? You get the two-story Belle Etoile suite with a private elevator, kitchen, glass-enclosed dining room and large private terrace at the beautiful Paris hotel. Le Meurice is one of Beyonce's faves, and it seems to be the hotel of choice for other hip-hop elite, with such fans as Eminem and Kanye West.

The paparazzi snapped <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/angelina jolie">Angelina Jolie</a> walking into the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Le+Meurice/local/1354">Le Meurice Hotel</a> for a photocall to promote her latest movie, "The Tourist" also starring Johnny Depp. We're thrilled that Angie is visiting one of our favorite hotels in the world (oh yeah, we just threw that down) but she's looking a little off. Yes, we know that Angie is a mother of six and all but today she looks a little more harried than usual. Perhaps she could get some time off to wind down in the hotel's <a href="http://www.lemeurice.com/spa-fitness">Spa Valmont</a> for a facial or a massage, or both. She could even

Rubber Duckie, You're The One...Trend That Hotels Are Loving These Days

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/rubberduckies_lemeurice.JPG" class="top"> Rubber Duckies are timeless bath toys yet HotelChatter has been noticing more and more of them on our recent hotel stays. Most of these rubber duckies are the traditional yellow ones we know and love well but some are personalized with the hotel's name, making them a bit more special. While some are free to use during your stay (and conveniently to pocket during packing), some are found in the minibar instead, meaning you got to cough up some bread crumbs for the bathtime fun. The most expensive ones we've seen so far might be the princely ducks at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Le+Meurice/local/1354">Le Meurice</a> in Paris where just one "canard de bain" costs 20 euros.As with all our
