<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/ChineseFortuneCookie.jpg" class="top">2012 is Year of the Dragon, and In case you didn't know, the dragon is a pretty big deal on the Chinese zodiac. So, to match the excitement of the new year, New York's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Cassa+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1663#login">Cassa Hotel & Residences</a> is running a pretty nifty Chinese New Year promotion. Guests who "like" Cassa on Facebook (and prove it by showing their computer or smartphone to the Front Desk) will be given a fortune cookie. Which at first sounds like not such a great trade-off. But hidden inside one of the fortunes is a voucher that will let you book your next stay for only $47.10/nightroughly 80% off the normal rate.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/AffiniaManhattanGuestroom.jpg" class="top">Affinia lovers, get out your checkbooks. After debuting the new look <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/13/182951/143/hotels/New_Rooms_Blossom_At_The_Affinia_Manhattan">last summer</a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/AFFINIA+MANHATTAN/local/2396">Affinia Manhattan</a> is now putting one of its pretty, flower-themed rooms up for auction. But rather than long weekend-ers or tourists, the deal is actually aimed at business travelers and commuters, who visit the city on a frequent basis. Every Sunday night for a year, the auction winner can come home to a 1-bedroom suite inside the Affinia Manhattan. And every week, it will be exactly the same (you can even leave your stuff in the closets!). Which is why, for a wide-eyed tourist hungry to see all the sights, this situation wouldn't be that ideal. But for tireless business travelers, who benefit

Brooklyn: Brooklyn's Music-Inspired Hotel Will Guarantee A 'Sound' Night's Sleep

ASchechter — 2012-01-09T09:00:39-05:00

We always like it when new hotels start interacting with their guests way before their doors have even opened. And at Brooklyn's music-inspired Hotel BPM, which doesn't open until April, there has been quite a bit of community involvement going on, practically since day one. Like posting shots of the finished bathrooms on Instagram. Or asking Facebook and Twitter fans to give the hotel's 76 custom-made mattresses a snappy name.

Last week, the "What's That Bed Called?" contest yielded a winner: "The Sound Sleeper." Which kind of makes us think there should be some kind of speaker system installed directly into the mattress—wouldn't that be cool! But maybe not so practical...

New York: Tablet Hotels Has Your Tickets to the Oscar de la Renta Runway Show

JetSetCD — 2012-01-06T16:15:02-05:00

It's crazy, we know, but it's already time to plan for New York Fashion Week. The good news is that this upcoming NYFW is our personal favorite, since it's the fall/winter collections (layering, deep colors!) and it won't be hot and steamy outside as it usually is during the September shows.

If you've always wanted to attend a Fashion Week runway show as an invited guest, now is your chance. Via a Tablet Hotels contest in partnership with Oscar de la Renta, you could be headed to NYC for 5 nights at the Tribeca Grand and seats at the OdlR show.
