The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Occidental+Grand+Aruba+-+All+Inclusive/ian/193941">Occidental Grand Aruba</a> is really trying to get you in the spirit by offering Nutcracker performances at the resort starring Kiril Kulish, the Tony Award-winning actor who was one of the original boxer-turned-ballet-dancer title characters in Broadway's Billy Elliot. Having the 15-year-old Broadway vet in the Aruba resort is rather random, but nonetheless pretty cool. You can see how his ballet chops have fared since he left the Great White Way at the all-inclusive resort on December 29. His free performance as the Nutcracker prince will be exclusively for hotel guests as part of a Jennifer Kester 2009-11-24T12:21:28-05:00 Sofitel Appeals to Your Inner Chocoholic http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/24/111715/06 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/sofitelchocolate.jpg" class="top"> Weve said it before and well say it again: We love chocolate. Which, by default, makes Sofitels <a href="http://www.sofitel.com/hotel-cms/gb/hotel-deals/love-chocolate.shtml">I Love Chocolate package</a> more than a little tempting. Through Jan. 31, more than 85 Sofitel hotels around the globe are offering guests chocolate-happy amenities and perks. (How French!) And to sweeten the perk, the offer includes a third night free. In addition to a three-for-the-price-of-two-nights stay, the package includes free breakfast, late check-out (2 p.m.), and an all-chocolate afternoon tea that drips in delicacies of the cocoa bean variety. In the U.S., the I Love Chocolate package is available at hotels like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sofitel+Los+Angeles/local/46">Sofitel Los Angeles</a> (from $205 per night), <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sofitel+New+York/local/172">Sofitel New York</a> (from $250), <a KatieK 2009-11-24T12:10:46-05:00 Miami: Stay Two Nights, Get the Third Free at the Four Seasons Miami During Art Basel http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/24/11937/610 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/fsmiaimiroom.jpg" class="top"> If you havent booked your Miami hotel room for <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Art%20Basel%20Hotels">Art Basel</a> yet, we have another deal to throw into the mix. Stay at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Miami/ian/213193">Four Seasons Miami</a> for three nights and get the third night free. With Art Basel running from December 27, the timing is ideal. Sure, rooms at the Four Seasons are on the high end, but this is still a pretty good deal considering how much hotels across the city jack up their rates while all the art buyers are in town. No promo codes are necessaryyou can simply punch in your dates at the hotels website, and as long as you stay the minimum three nights, youll see the savings MsRebecca 2009-11-24T11:12:21-05:00 Boston: What We Ate at Woodward in the Ames Hotel http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/24/102048/59 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/Woodward_menu.jpg" class="top"> When we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/23/95313/552/hotels/Inside_The_Ames_Hotel_in_Boston">checked into</a> the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Ames+Hotel/local/1568">Ames Hotel</a> last week, one of the things we were most looking forward to was the food. The lobster sandwich we ordered from the room service menu (almost identical to the menu in the restaurant) was generous and tasty, served with thin, salty fries, just the way we like them. (Although, as we mentioned yesterday, our beer arrived 20 minutes after the food.) Breakfast Woodward was fairly quiet at 9 a.m. on Saturday, so we snagged a prime spot in one of the chesterfield booths along the front window. Aside from the booths, there was a mix of small tables with white Windsor chairs, and bar-height tables with stools.

And to save you precious holiday time swotting up in an encyclopedia, its selecting random facts for you. In just one visit the week before last, we came away with the following facts: the date of the philosopher Hegels death, the scoop on a Formula 1 rivalry, something Robert Pattinsony (which we forgot, what with gawping at the picture used to illustrate it), and the date the Whigs and Tories split in England in 1680. Not bad, huh? The fount of all our knowledge?
