<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/the_keating_hotel_san_diego.jpg" class="imgborder"> Fortune magazine just put out a nice rundown on "The Best New Business Hotels." We would normally be skeptical, but they teamed up with Wallpaper to get some true hipness cred in the mix. The result is a lot of hotels that have good desk lighting, talented concierges, and "better than average room service," but a bit of style as well. Bad news is, you have to pick up the print copy to get a rundown of their list and short descriptions. Good news is, we've got plenty of chatter about a lot of them right here. For more than a few, HotelChatter has been providing a blow-by-blow account of opening delays and pushed-back promises for

Hyatt's Summerfield Suites Wants You To Keep On Grillin' While You're Away

The offerings of food and wine packages in the hospitality industry often follows a strict caste system.

Luxury hotels offer their high-paying guests a chef's table dining option or culinary lessons from the hotel's executive chef. Boutique hotels offer wine tastings or sommelier classes. Chain hotels typically offer packages with dining credits at the hotel's mid-level restaurants thrown in as a bonus. And those budget and extended stay/select service hotels offer you an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet of cereal, bagels, fruit and coffee.

But Hyatt's Summerfield Suites is doing something different. The extended-stay brand has just announced its 2nd annual Summer Grilling Social program.

In their information about the local area, they forgot to mention they're backed right onto a mega-building site which actually seems to create 100 times more dust and noise and pollution than buildings.

And the hotel has a 33-slip marina meaning you can just boat your way down to Ft. Lauderdale instead of driving on 95 or chancing it on JetBlue. (Although we doubt your boat is as big as the ones in the pic above.)The hotel offers five categories of rooms, two types of suites and the presidential suite. The starting room,
