<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/spgwater_whotels.JPG" class="top"> When we were checking out the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/2/13/132139/648/hotels/Stay_Cool_in_Scottdale_with_the_W_Hotel_s_Cool_Corner_Suite">W Scottsdale</a> yesterday, our guide pointed out the hotel's bottled water selection, found in all the rooms. On offer was two types of Fiji water ($3 and $2), a bottle of Smart water ($6) and one Nestle water ($1). But members of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/starwood%20preferred%20guest">Starwood's Preferred Guest program</a> actually get bottled water for free. (Just one and it's the cheaper Nestle kind.)This free water perk used to be available to the elite tiers of the SPG program but now it's free to all members, even those who sign up on the spot. So, is this a nice perk for members, regardless of the member status, or a clever way to sign

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/swissotel_circle_loyalty.jpg" class="top"> There's only one <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/swissotels">Swissôtel</a> in the United States (in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Swissotel+-+Chicago/local/2121">Chicago</a>) but if you're a frequent guest at these hotels in Europe and Asia, you'll be pleased to know the hotel chain has a new loyalty program--<a href="http://www.swissotelcircle.com">Swissôtel Circle</a>. And even if you're not a frequent guest, we think the membership tiers will still give you a giggle. That's because they are alpine-inspired--Inizia, Elevà and Zenit, giving you more perks for each level you climb, er, reach. Guests reach the Inizia level as soon as they have stayed five nights at a Swissôtel. This level grants them personalized room preferences, priority waitlist status, complimentary access to spa and sport facilities as well as the hotel's Advantage

The Standard New York might have softcore porn and the Ace New York might have Google Chromebooks but only the Omni Berkshire Place has the Tesla Roadster.

The electric supercar was brought to the hotel the other day as part of a special event that started in the Omni's Roger and Hammerstein suite (Note to self: must check this one out) and ended outside with an up close inspection of the green roadster.

While it was just select guests of Omni's Select Guest loyalty program who attend the special event, the car is available for hotel guests who earn Black level status (that takes about 20+ stays a year.)
