<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/entourage_gablelombardsuite.jpg" class="top"> Nary an episode of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/entourage hotels">Entourage</a> airs without at least one scene taking place in a hot Hollywood hotel so it's no surprise that the final season of the bro show is starting off with Vince, Turtle, E and Johnny Drama living it up at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hollywood+Roosevelt+Hotel/local/11">Hollywood Roosevelt</a> in a penthouse suite.Granted, they are only there because Turtle accidentally burned down their house but still, the guys have had a long love affair with the Roosevelt. (See <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/6/28/02510/7167/hotels/_Entourage_is_Back_and_Hitting_Up_Old_Hotel_Haunts">here</a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/7/17/93058/9965/hotels/Hotel_Roosevelt_and_Entourage_Separated_at_Birth_">here</a>.) This time around they are presumably shacked up in the <a href="http://www.thompsonhotels.com/hotels/la/hollywood-roosevelt/sleep/gable-lombard-penthouse">Gable Lombard Penthouse Suite</a> at the hotel which has three full-size bedrooms (we're guessing Turtle and Johnny Drama are sharing) as well

Hollywood: Get a Blo Job at the W Hollywood's New Blowout Bar

Traditional hotel salons might be as last season as the pixie cut. Following in the steps of The SLS, the W Hollywood just opened its own blowout salon, Blo Blow Dry Bar.

You won't see a single pair of scissors at Blo; the salon only does blowouts. The typical service includes a wash and blowout in about 30 minutes for $33. At that price, we'd be tempted to lazily have someone else do our hair each day we stay at the hotel.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/whollywoodNbaallstargame.JPG" class="top"> Forget Christmas and New Year's. For NBA groupies, the best time of the year is February when the <a href="http://www.nba.com/allstar/2011/">NBA All-Star Game</a> happens. This year, the b-ball festivities are happening in Los Angeles which means that LA-area hotels will not only be hosting NBA teams, coaches and fans but groupies as well. And guess what? They are already starting to scope out the team hotels, in particular <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Hollywood+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1551">The W Hollywood Hotel</a>.<a href="http://www.nypost.com/Page/Uuid/ee7c6eac-10af-11e0-8e3d-62b7d1c02975">The NY Post</a> has an article all about how ladies look to snag athletes from the NFL and NBA and we thought this tip was hilarious: <blockquote>BallerAlert's "Eleven8," for example, suggests memorizing the layout of the W Hotel in Hollywood, where, she said, the NBA

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/whollywood_windowseat_bedding.jpg" class="top"> The window seats we've seen at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+San+Diego/local/3710">W San Diego</a> and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Hollywood+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1551">W Hollywood</a> have always seemed like a nice nook to read a book or magazine or just watch the world go by, in between party time of course. But the window seats also have another function--they act as another bed. Now some of you might be saying, "Well, duh. That's where our friends crash after we finish clubbing." But a friend of ours recently found out that housekeeping will even bring up a special batch of seats to "make" the window seat/bed. This happened at the W San Diego in a room with two beds but three dudes who were crashing together on

Hollywood: Vince and The Boys Get Some Pool Time at W Hollywood

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/entouragewhollywood.jpg" class="top"> Another episode of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/entourage hotels">Entourage</a>, another guest spot from a Los Angeles-area hotel. Last night, the new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Hollywood+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1551">W Hollywood</a> and its popular <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/3/11/11229/4999/hotels/Drai_s_Hollywood_at_the_W_is_Now_Open_to_Regular_Folks">Drai's Nightclub</a> served as the backdrop for Vince's TV interview with Maria Menounos about his new movie--which he said "will probably end up sucking." Vince also chose to unveil his "shocking" new short hair cut at the hotel. But nevermind about Vince's hair styles or his jump into the adrenaline junkie deep end. Let's talk about the hotel. The W Hollywood got some serious screen time here as it showed the boys and Vince's publicist Shauna Roberts (the always awesome Debi Mazar) walking along the hotel's catwalk, through the lobby, inside Drai's
