One thing we loved about almost every hotel we visited was all the cool lobby art on displayall of which had a great way of summing up the look and feel of each property. Inside the lobby at Gamboa Rainforest Resort, there's so much animal art, it feels like the safari's begun before you even setting foot in the rainforest! In addition to banners embroidered with frogs and butterflies hanging from the ceilingnot to mention some beautiful metal sculptures of birds poised in mid-flightwe loved this intricate metalwork on the railings,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/1WanderRocket_8.jpg" class="top"> It's been in magazines and on design blogs aplenty, but the "Space" Suite at Singapore's <a href="http://www.designhotels.com/wanderlust">Wanderlust Hotel</a> is a space you've got to see with your own eyes to appreciate. Every duplex suite on the top floor of this 29-room hotel in the Little India neighborhood has been conceptualized by local design company fFurious; the "Space" suite is just one of the many looks, and by far the most popular. Maybe the allure comes from the mystery of outer space, or a youth spent sleeping under astronaut-covered sheets? Our guess: it's because the room is pitch-black with only a fiber optic ceiling of stars at nightgreat for a fantasy night of romance or if you're anticipating

Yup. Apparently there's a citywide project, titled <a href="http://artintheparkingspace.blogspot.com/">Art in the Parking Space</a>, which inserts performances and installations into (you guessed it!) parking lots all over LA. And last week, it was the Standard's own parking lot that, according to one of the participating artists, "became a total hang-out spot." Tova Carlin, Ania Diakoff and Katerina Llanes, dubbed their installation Sub-Standard (we could slip in a few jabs about the rooms here, but we'll try not to), and specifically intended for

It's Guess the Hotel revealed!

Were you able to figure anything out from the video we posted on Friday? Two people called out The Chatwal, which was correct! We were there last week, in the Producer's Suite on the tenth floor, to watch a new promotional video by Luxury Collection called HERE.

If you're at all restless like us, you might wind up booking an impromptu trip to Vermont, Scottsdale and/or Hawaii after you watch it. The 15-minute film is set at Equinox Resort & Spa, The Phoenician and The Royal Hawaiian, Waikiki successively, and each hotel comes off looking more idyllic than the next.
