<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Lastnightbkalo_1.jpg" class="top"> Okay you guys. Last night was awesome. We already <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/2/151142/5433/hotels/Two_Aloft_Hotels_to_Screen_Sneak_Peek_of_Portlandia_Season_2">told ya</a> what was up if you were near Brooklyn, and that was a sneak preview screening of Season 2 of IFC's show "Portlandia." Two of the HotelChatter team made it to scope out the place and naturally get a peek at the series, and we happened to learn something else: another hotel screening has been added, TONIGHT. So this evening, if you're in Portland, Oregon or near the Bolingbrook suburb of Chicago, you can go see several (currently unreleased) hilarious bits from the new series, plus get free Portlandia swag (we scored Portlandia hats, a "Put a Bird on it" tee, an Aloft tote and the

London: The Berkeley Hotel Reopens Their Rooftop Cinema With a Winter Twist

One of London's ongoing summer events, a Rooftop Film Club hosted at a popular Hoxton bar, inspired something of a cult-like fervor among local film buffs. Piggybacking on Londoners' love of all things cinema and all things, uh, rooftop, is the Berkeley hotel, who is transplanting the concept from East to West and taking full advantage of their posh terrace climes (not to mention outdoor lamp heaters).

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/Window_Signs.JPG" class="top">Catalina during previous Sleepless Night festivities. This year the windows read 'Up All Night.'Now that Halloween is here at last, it's time for hotels to look ahead to the next marketing gimmick. In South Beach, there's not long to wait, with the Sleepless Night festival taking place this weekend, November 56. While most travelers choose a hotel for its sleep-worthiness, this is Miami, where such things are frivolous. Being part of the action is a priority, so hotels like <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/3873'>Catalina Hotel & Beach Club</a> and <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/4749'>Lords South Beach</a> are getting on the Sleepless fun. The beach is expecting more than 150 local and international artists to perform across Saturday night -- featuring trapeze artists, symphonies, theater

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/L_Auberge_de_Sedona.jpeg" class="top">Two years ago, we told you that the $25 million that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/L%27Auberge+De+Sedona/ian/181396">L'Auberge de Sedona</a> spent on its major renos was a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/29/13221/886/hotels/L_Auberge_de_Sedona_Gets_a_25_Million_Makeover_for_Turning_25">symbolic expense</a>, on account of the resort's 25th anniversary. But the hotel doesn't stop there with extravagant ways of marking special occasions. Now that the refurb is complete--and to celebrate L'Auberge Sedona being named one of the Top 100 Hotels in the U.S. by our friends at Conde Nast Traveler--the hotel is putting on an opera. Say what? Yep, the hotel has teamed up with the Arizona Opera to host 'LOpéra at LAuberge' on November 17. The night will include a cocktail reception, fancy dinner and a performance by lead principals of Arizona Opera's production

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/standard_the_new_york_full_image1.jpg" class="top">Next weekend, New York will "open up" over two hundred iconic buildings for tour groups and panel discussions during an architecture and design festival known as <a href="http://www.ohny.org/">Open House New York</a>. Now in its ninth year, the mayor-approved event picks out buildings (churches, mansions) and sites (waterfront parks, cemeteries) that range from historic to ultra-modern. And since this is New York, hotels get a piece of the action too. Which means that hotel geeks (we know you're <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Geek%20Hotels">out there</a>!) who like to duck into random hotels just for the fun of poking around now have an excuse to do so! All weekend long! With guided tours available, you can finally learn why <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Americano/local/4804">Hotel Americano</a>'s facade is
