But in the case of Curtis Stone, who showed up at the <a href=" http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Indigo+New+York+City+Chelsea/local/1021">Hotel Indigo Chelsea</a> on Friday to promote a local food campaign ("Locals Know Best"), we sat up to listen. During our chat, the well-traveled chef name-drops a few of his fave NYC spots, professes his love for English Afternoon Tea, and explains why <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Standard+NYC/local/795">The Standard</a> requires a certain "mood." How did this partnership with Indigo come about? I'm

Did Holly Holliday and Mr. Schu's steamy remake of Prince's "Kiss" on Glee cause some real-life sparks to fly between Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew Morrison? Paltrow was spotted boozing it up with her co-star at Grosvenor House Hotel until the wee hours.

It could have been an innocent meeting of friends; they dined Locanda Locatelli restaurant in Marylebone then headed to the hotel for some libations. But they hung out at the hotel bar until 2 a.m. And when the paparazzi descended on the two during their London date, the married-with-children Paltrow tried to hide her face with her scarf.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/sherlock.jpg" class="top"> Fancy a 2010 trip to London in honour of Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes film? Let us make it elementary for you (sorry) with a roundup of whos doing Sherlock-specific packages. Boringly enough, theyre all called the same thing (Sherlock Holmes Package) but some are better than others. And two are definitely cheaper. As youd expect, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Park+Plaza+Sherlock+Holmes+London/ian/177781">Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes</a> on Baker Street is going all out with a Sherlock Holmes package: for £154 you get bed and breakfast, two Sherlock Holmes or Dr Watson cocktails, two tickets to see the film at Everyman Baker Street (a cute indy cinema), and a two course dinner for the pair of you (although weirdly, you need to pay

Lordy. How can we wait until May 19th, when it starts? And how will we survive when, four days later, it's all over? Luckily, a couple of hotels in London are determined to assuage our pain and make the whole shebang a little more interesting. For the duration of the show (May 19-23), <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Lc+The+Lanesborough+St+Regis/ian/181858">The Lanesborough</a> is offering a "floral breakfast" complete with edible flowers, and "floral techniques" on offer throughout the premises (don't they usually have flowers and stuff anyway?). More excitingly, they're offering a special rate of £255 per night (minimum stay two
