<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/RoosMain.jpg" class="top"> Like we said <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/18/13444/893/hotels/Sleeping_Inside_One_Of_NYC_s_Historic_Hotels_Our_Room_at_The_Roosevelt">yesterday</a>, you really can't beat winning a room rate of $19.24 on Twitter for three nights in a historic hotel property in the middle of Manhattan. That said, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Roosevelt+Hotel+New+York/ian/131795">The Roosevelt</a> has its ups and its downs, but it is most definitely the quintessential New York tourist hotel. Onto our experience, over Halloween weekend: Check-in: Although we live in New York, we came straight to The Roosevelt after flying into JFK at the end of a trip, so we were your typical tired, bedraggled guest. Friends who were visiting for the weekend would be staying in the room with us, and as they were arriving earlier, we directed to do the regular thing of

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/GEM_midtownW.jpg" class="top"> Have you ever dreamed of taking over an entire hotel, just like those kids in Hotel for Dogs or like Venezuelan President <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/15/102058/14/hotels/Chavez_Not_Happy_With_Hilton_Installs_Himself_At_Front_Desk">Hugo Chavez</a>? Well, now you can do it without having to set up a makeshift animal shelter or get all nationalistic and chummy with the military. Thats because the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Gem+Hotel+Midtown+West/ian/278497">GEM Hotel Midtown West</a> is inviting guests to takeover all of its 39 rooms.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Pillow_Talk_Barcelo_Campaign.jpg" class="top"> Talking pillows. Of course. Obvious candidates for a big hotel promotion campaign. Or have the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Barcelo%20Hotels">Barceló Hotels</a> group simply gone completely mad?If only for novelty value alone, the new campaign from the Barceló group, "Pillow Talk", wins big points. It features six videos of two talking pillows, Sophie the Softie and Drew the Dreamer (who incidentally have their own Twitter accounts), as they dream of a better life. Spoiler alert, in case you want to watch all six videos and enjoy the suspense: Sophie and Drew end up finding this better life at the newest Barceló hotel in Mexico, the Barceló Los Cabos Palace Deluxe, which will open up on December 17, 2009 (or December

Miami Beach: How To Get a Room In Miami For the Super Bowl (Game Tix, Too)

MsRebecca — 2009-10-27T09:43:21-05:00

While most folks are focused on the MLB World Series, down in Miami hotels have the Super Bowl on their minds. Room rates for the weekend of the February 7 game were already laughable when we checked back in August, although today Quikbook still has some reasonably priced rooms in the $200-a-night range. (The W South Beach, however? That’s $999 a night.) But thanks to yet another Facebook promotion, the best deal in town so far is to win the Loews Miami Beach Super Bowl contest. The SoBe hotel is giving away a four-night stay valid February 4–7, 2010—and they’ll also throw in two tickets to the big game.
