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. Once we gave her the password (Kaspar, if you please), she swept us

The Standard NYC is known for its nekkid guests (and even employees) flaunting their business in front of the wall of windows. So imagine our surprise to hear that people are heading to the hotel all bundled up.

We saw it written all over the airport, after all, and wed heard the slogan a thousand times, but we were half hoping for Alpine-type hills within the city limits, and we got nada. But then, one of our idols who we crush on over at our sister website, <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/">VegasChatter</a> the great <a href="http://vegaschatter.com/tag/norm%20clarke">Norm Clarke</a> of the Las Vegas Review Journal gave us an idea (he used to live in Denver).

The colors red and blue have got a little too hijacked by political affiliations for our liking, plus were assiduous drinkers, so were fully behind the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/HOTEL+PLAZA+ATHENEE+PARIS/local/1642">Plaza Athénée Paris</a> appropriation of the colors for its new bar nights as well as the sexy new ad campaign its using to entice the trenders set through its doors. Red and Blue Hours is the new name given to the theme nights in the bar. Blue nights hit weeknights 6-10pm and are relaxed, but a little sassy by the sound of things the hotel is calling them: <blockquote>An atmosphere for loosening up and letting
