Wow. Yesterday's Guess the Hotel game was super easy for you as everyone guessed correctly--it was The Carlyle Hotel on E. 75th Street and Madison Avenue.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/once.jpg" class="imgborder">Our favorite Oscar win...We wonder what Los Angeles-area hotels would have done this past weekend if the Writers' Strike had forced the Oscars to be skipped.

That's no small spa, and it sounds like there's quite a lot to enjoy there.In fact the new spa complex will cover 4,000 square feet and include full-service locker rooms (we're intrigued about exactly what's included in full-service here ...), a designated relaxation room where you can stay between treatments, a steam room and raindrop showers, as well as a salon with full hair, make-up and nail services.The most striking thing about the Carlyle's new spa is
