Forgotten running shoes? Wouldnt want to get injured. Alpha male showing off on the other treadmill? Eh, well try again later when things are less intimidating. Not to mention, personal TV screens or a kick-butt iPod mix are pretty much must-haves. Some hotels, for their part, have made it less easy to skip our workouts, like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/fairmont%20hotels">Fairmont Hotels</a>. In addition to partnering with Adidas to provide exercise clothes and shoes, Fairmont is now also letting guests check out fully loaded iPods, complete with songs and playlists. Of course, theres one teensy catch: iPods only feature EMI KatieK 2009-11-12T10:29:38-05:00 San Francisco: Luau in San Francisco for New Year's Eve http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/5/151730/266 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/32083/tongaroomsf.jpg" class="top"> It's hard to believe, but New Year's Eve is less than two months away, which means a parade of hotel party tickets will soon beor already areavailable to the public. Most of these are highfalutin affairs where you'll find women competing in unofficial "Who has the shortest skirt?" contests, and where bottles of champagne circulate throughout the evening. These swanky soirees are easy enough to find, but for an unusual change of pace, you may want to consider heading to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Fairmont+San+Francisco/local/8">The Fairmont</a> in San Francisco, where an inaugural <a href="http://www.tongaroom.com/?l=0,72,91">New Year's luau</a> will be held at the historic Tonga Room.

It closed in December 2007, and was supposed to reopen <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/12/17/14155/151/hotels/The_Savoy_London_Closes_Its_Doors_For_a_Facelift">16 months later</a>, but of course, 16 months in hotel speak is double the length of normal human time. But, hallelujah, it looks like were coming to the end of the process - <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Fairmont%20Hotels">Fairmont</a> just announced that they expect it to reopen in Spring 2010. And when we quizzed them what counts as spring, they said April or May. Heres hoping!

Bigger is not always better for Mother Earth, with all that carbon monoxide contributing to her degradation. A depressing reality, to be sure, but with environmental awareness being so very haute these days, tastemakers and luxury providers are striving to make the good life the green life, too. It's no coincidence that you hear blatant plugs for hybrid cars as stars arrive on the Oscars red carpet, you know. Plush comforts and planet-friendly alternatives can coexist, as LuxuryLink, Lexus, and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Fairmont+San+Francisco/local/8">The Fairmont San Francisco</a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Fairmont+Washington+D.C./ian/126091">Washington DC</a> are attempting to prove with special Eco-Chic packages.
