<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/1901.jpg" class="top"> First it was the unadulterated success of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/16/93732/173/hotels/Go_Culture_Andaz_London_s_Reader_In_Residence_is_Up_for_an_Award">Damian Barr</a> as Reader in Residence. Then it was Lady GaGas fabby <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/2/10178/5847/hotels/Lady_Gaga_Gets_Her_Game_On_Underground_at_Andaz_London">photoshoot</a> in the Masonic Temple. 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? Booze, chocolate and some ready-made date talk something tells us

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/andazwallroom.jpg" class="top"> We knew that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Andaz%20Hotels"></a>Andaz Hotels</a> were gearing up to open up their <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Andaz+Wall+Street/local/1566">Andaz Wall Street</a> in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/9/21/231319/090/hotels/Andaz_Wall_Street_Will_Open_in_January_2010">January 2010</a> but a tipster seems to have an exact date for us: January 17. Of course, that's just the target opening date. To be safe, the hotel has this listed on their <a href="http://newyork.wallstreet.andaz.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp">website</a> under "Reservations": <blockquote> Rooms are now available for booking from a check-in date of February 15, 2010 onwards.</blockquote>Given that we've been waiting for Andaz Wall Street to open forever (literally, forever!) we say it's best to err on the side of caution and book your stay for late February. We checked out the rates for February 15th and an Andaz King with 345-square-feet

London: Lady Gaga Gets Her Game On Underground at Andaz London

juliab — 2009-11-03T08:54:21-05:00

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.

So we asked the folk at Andaz. And yes, it is.
