Earlier this month, we learned about a new partnership between New York-based perfume house Le Labo and Fairmont Hotels—the biggest hotel undertaking Le Labo has ever attempted.

If you're anywhere near Boston and fancy a little historical reenactment, then may we suggest holing up at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Liberty+Hotel/local/794">LIberty Hotel</a> for their Boston Tea Party celebrations? There's a real package for the event, with accommodations on either December 12 or 13your choiceand two tickets to The Old South Meeting Houses Tea Party Reenactment on December 13th, and breakfast for two in the hotel's CLINK restaurant.
