<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/ironhorseoutdoor.jpg" class="top"> Got a liver of steel? Or, shall we say...iron? Hope so 'cause the <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Iron+Horse+Hotel/local/969">Iron Horse Hotel </a>just opened up their new outdoor lounge and it looks like a place we'll be hittin' up the red hot second the next time we find ourselves in the Midwest. And you'd better hurry up and chug your drinks, because Milwaukee is only warm for, like, three months. The new outdoor lounge, The Yard, is open for the season from 4:00 to 11:00 every day. It has a totally full bar outside and is located on the sunny west side of the property, with views out onto the Menomonee River and downtown. The decor is a must-see before you

Where to Get Your Pink and Drink On for Barbie's 50th Birthday

Jenna — 2009-03-06T15:01:16-05:00

Hey! Did you know Barbie's turning 50 on Monday, March 9th? Sista is ascending from PYT-status to certified cougarhood — and if she were a real woman, we would strongly urge her to cease dressing like a 21-year-old. But she's not real and she remains eternally hot; her life in plastic remains fantastic. Thus, her birthday gives us an excuse to surround ourselves with pink and have a fat drink.

First up, Milwaukee's new boutique-chic Iron Horse Hotel is getting the ball rolling with a Barbie birthday celebration

Hotels That Twitter and Twitter Well

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/twitter_acceptance2.jpg" class="top"> It's not just <a href="http://twitter.com/MarriottIntl">Marriott</a> that's been busy sending out updates all over <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/twitter">Twitter Nation</a>. These days, a pretty sizable group of individual hotel properties have set up their own Twitter accounts to get in on the action, and many of them are doing killer jobs of utilizing the microblogging platform to tweet everything from room renovations to staff movements to rate specials (and sometimes more stuff that nobody cares about but that's all part of the beauty of Twitter, right?) Rob over at Resideo.com has scoured interwebs to find dozens upon dozens of worldwide hotels using Twitter, and he's put together <a href="http://webtravelrob.blogspot.com/2009/02/hotels-using-twitter.html">a list of all of them</a> organized by location to
