It's not necessarily hotels' Facebook or MySpace pages we're concerned with here (although some hotels are doing good stuff with those things, and hooray for them!). <p>We mean hotels who set up their <i>own</i> networks -- sort of like the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Pod+Hotel/local/189">Pod Hotel's</a></b> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/24/144612/104/hotels/Best_Geek_Hotels_in_the_World_2_0">Pod Community</a> Blog -- where people who are staying in a particular hotel at a given time can communicate with each other and find other same-time guests to meet up with, hang out with, or "et cetera" with.

After our story the other day about the intriguing cocktails that were served at the Citizen M hotel in Amsterdam, like a Mobile Martini and a Vespa Martini, we decided we wanted more...more drink descriptions of course.

So we flagged down a hotel rep who sent over this complete list of the drinks. And it turns out the Vespa Martini is actually a Vesper Martini, a James Bond-inspired drink.]]> juliana 2008-07-30T09:45:26-05:00 Amsterdam: Inside CitizenM in Amsterdam http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/30/20948/1238 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/citizenmexterior.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><i>[Ed.

This location is one of 20 new hotels CitizenM plans to roll out through Europe in the coming months and years.<p> This being the hotel's first major event, CitizenM did their best to impress and after a few hours of non-stop drinking, I found myself fairly well-impressed. <p> For <b>Rattan Chadha</b>, founding partner and CEO <b>Michael Levie</b>, this event was all about branding and from the multiple speeches to the increasingly drunk PR people walking around, you couldn't escape the words "affordable luxury." <p>With Coulter 2008-06-30T15:47:21-05:00 Amsterdam: Jen Aniston and John Mayer Mellow Out at the Intercontinental Amstel http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/25/1624/08831 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/interamstel.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>It must be nice to be Jennifer Aniston or John Mayer, whose days end inside a $1015-a-night Netherlands hotel room replete with the finest relaxation-enhancers Amsterdam has to offer...such as a view of the Amstel river, of course. <p>Splash news <a href="http://splashnewsonline.celebuzz.com/2008/06/jen-n-johns-hotel-of-lurve.html">reports</a> the two were bunking together at the ultra-posh <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Intercontinental+Amstel+Hotel/ian/106191"><b>Intercontinental Amstel</b></a> last night.

No word on whether or not Jen is gonna be in tow, but the paps are probably on the scene right now; we hope Mayer brought along some "relaxation assistance" from Amsterdam to Jenna 2008-06-25T16:42:51-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
