Here are a few ways to celebrate the awards season madness without booking a hotel room. · <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Mondrian+Los+Angeles/local/288">Mondrian Los Angeles</a>: The Sunset Strip hotel has partnered with <a href="http://www.stylehaus.com">stylehaüs</a>, the first member's only clothing boutique and styling service.

(And, duh, beat them.) Even without New Orleans in the Super Bowl, we wish we were there to get our Game Face on at the <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/1819'>Hyatt Regency New Orlean's</a> Vitascope Hall. This is one of the best hotel sports bars we've ever seen. It's not a dive full of aggressive sports fans; it's actually quite sleek looking. But more importantly, it is designed with perfect game-watching functionality. There are big leather bar stools with seat backs lining the bar with front-on views of the flatscreens and there are lots of MsRebecca 2012-02-03T12:28:30-05:00 London: Drinking Required A Paper Bag On The Savoy's Prohibition Night http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/19/165338/778 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/savoyprohib600.jpg" class="top"> January 17 1920 might not be one of those dates thats rammed into your memory, possibly because most people like drinking and prefer to forget the bad times but anyway, its the date that the Prohibition 18th Amendment was ratified. And while a 92nd anniversary may be an odd one to celebrate, if theres booze involved, its never too odd. So says the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Savoy+London/local/1782">Savoy London</a>, which turned its dark n sexy Beaufort Bar into a Prohibition speakeasy for the night on Tuesday. At the door, we were greeted by a lovely lady, Gemma, in a 1920s fascinator over her Savoy uniform.

What to do after you're already over the usuals? Well, ask the bartender what's good, of course. This last weekend, pre-Pump Room dinner with friends at the <a href="">Public Chicago</a>, we did just that and the bartender immediately recommended the "Pump and Circumstance," which had until recently also been their most popular drink, before the basic Cosmopolitan regained the top spot.
