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

But nice as the others can be, theres one place that stands head and shoulders (or maybe that should be a couple of floors) above the others the Santo Terraza Bar at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Eme+Fusion+Hotel/ian/266199">EME Hotel</a> on Calle Alemanes. For a start, the position is unbeatable its in the cathedral square, facing the Giralda and the north side of the cathedral, with all its balustrades and flying buttresses and other architectural delights. And theyve really made the most of it, singling the hotel out from the touristy bars and shops dotted around it, by laying

The poor old <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Alfonso+Xiii,+The+Luxury+Collection/ian/141165">Alfonso XIII</a> may not have a particularly sexy offering, but some of the rooftop ones are good enough for you to book a room on the basis of the pool. Perhaps the best known is the pool at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Dona+Maria/ian/227088">Hotel Doña Maria</a>, just off the cathedral square, which makes for stonking views of the Giralda. The terrace is split into two levels, with the bar and some tables down below, and the pool and a few more tables up some stairs. Obviously, the views

Do you love, like really love "Twilight"? Have you read all the books front to back, twice? Are you holding countdown parties to the "New Moon" movie at your house? Would you turn immortal forever for Edward Cullen? And more importantly, are you over the age of 21?

Because that's how old you will need to be to attend the New Moon mania that's going on at Whiskey Blue New Orleans inside the W Hotel. All week long the trendy hotel bar will unabashedly embrace the "Twilight" craze and it's not entirely about Edward, Bella, and Jacob. There is an actual new moon happening on November 16th.
