This week we like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hyatt+Andaz+London/local/931">Andaz London</a> because theyre going all ethical by launching a Fair Trade cocktail in the cocktail bar at the 1901 restaurant. The £9 cocktail is called Divine Oblivion and is not only pumped full of fair trade vodka, but is also full of fair trade chocolate and sugar. And in case you wanted a talking point for your cocktail, know this: the fair trade vodka is made from quinoa from Bolivia. How good is that?

Our first thought when we saw these pictures from Lady Gaga’s latest photoshoot: ah, the rapier wit strikes again.

But when we looked beyond the blinding symbolism of a Hello Kitty chastity belt covering her bitsies, we spied something rather familiar. “Why, isn’t that the underground Masonic Temple in the bowels of Andaz London?” we asked ourselves.

Its probably out of the budget for most people its Nobu, for a start, and it's being done privately, after all. But if you do have a spare £1500 to swing for the cheapest suite, plus £70pp for the food (that's the lunch menu - it goes up to £120 for dinner), youll get a bespoke private dining experience as its made for you and up to 120 of your friends in one of the May Fairs signature
