<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/IMG_2502.jpg" class="top">This is the kind of Christmas tree that you do not want to have around the housebecause if you did, you'd just end up eating it. Luckily, this 10-foot-tall beauty, made entirely of chocolate (white, dark, milk, fondant, you name it, it's on there), is on view inside the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Jumeirah+Essex+House+on+Central+Park/local/1965">Jumeirah Essex House</a>, which luckily isn't a place we frequent very often. The chocolate theme is continued into the rest of the lobby with a weekend-only Chocolate Bar. Boy, this hotel is pressing allll the right buttons. Included in the mouth-watering buffet are a chocolate fountain, assorted truffles and house-made hot chocolate. Tickets go for $35 a head, but if you bump it up to $49, they'll throw

<![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/Jumeirah_Dhevanafushi.jpg" class="top"> Often when we look for special introductory hotel opening rates, we're hoping for something in the low $200s, preferably in the $100s, because we know that new hotels usually have some kinks to work out and that not everything is up and running. We also just like a really good deal. Of course, things are done differently in The Maldives. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/jumeirah hotels">Jumeirah Hotels and Resorts</a> have just opened the Jumeirah Dhevanafushi Resort in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll. The resort has 38 "Revive" and "Sanctuary" villas with views of the island or the ocean, direct beach or lagoon access, private swimming pools and personalized 24-hour butler service. There's also free WiFi and each villa has its

New York: Have A Holiday Cocktail At Jumeirah Essex House For $10 This Friday

Here's a holiday riddle for you: When do we love a holiday cocktail more than ever before? When it's a mere ten bucks! OK, so that wasn't really a riddle but it is almost unheard of for a fancy hotel to offer specialty cocktails for less than $15. Which is why we're psyched about the special happy hour taking place this Friday from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at South Gate, the restaurant at Jumeirah Essex House in New York.

The cocktail menu at South Gate already includes classics such as The Cougar and The Stork Club ($16 each) but at this Friday's Happy Hour you can get a Spiced Cranberry Agave cocktail for just $10. Suh-weet!

We hope the players get one after every match).Anyway, this official cocktail is the Honey Deuce, featuring Grey Goose vodka and

Dubai: Jumeirah Emirates Tower :: A Good Spot to Meet a Sheik for a Drink

shiralevine — 2009-02-12T09:59:58-05:00

In Dubai money still seems to trump religion and culture. The teeny tiny sliver of a country is a mere desert road trip from Saudi Arabia and Oman, and just an abra jaunt from Iran and Iraq. But Dubai is more green zone than red zone. Dubai's like Macau without the gambling. Disneyworld and Kings Dominion by the Arabian Sea. And again, the Las Vegas of the Middle East. It's also a great place to find yourself slinging back shots with a Sheik -- indoors that is.
