<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/stovepipebuilding.jpg" class="top"> Death Valley may not be the most attractive vacation prospect right now, what with the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/5/3/235611/3838/hotels/The_Gas_at_This_Hotel_in_Death_Valley_Will_Leave_Your_Wallet_Parched">obscene gas prices</a>, but if you want to see it soon (and you should), we couldnt help but notice that temperatures right now are a pretty mild 90 degrees, with a high of 99 for tomorrow and back to 96 for Sunday. Which, seeing as summer temperatures are normally soaring by now, really isnt bad. Maybe its suffering from the same cold weather front as Vegas (currently a miserable 79) has been for the past few days. If you want to make a run for it this weekend, wed advise bypassing the swanky <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Furnace+Creek+Resort/local/4865">Furnace Creek</a> - because you dont go

If you can't make it to Vegas or Versailles, an alternative is, um, Upstate New York's Catskills region. The Roxbury—no relation to that old Saturday Night Live skit, so no worries of bumping into Chris Kattan—offers a suite that meshes the Palace of Versailles' opulence with Vegas flash.

The Amadeus' Bride suite, inspired by the flick Amadeus, is done up with handmade 18k gold-leaf moldings, a wall of mirrors that tallies 27 reflective surfaces, a 200-pound Austrian crystal chandelier and ceilings of more than 20 feet tall.

You think people care about your on-off relationship that much that you have to go to a budget motel in the Valley to have a secret rendezvous? The duo who reportedly broke up two weeks ago decided they had to see each other again and the only place good enough was apparently the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Carlton+Motor+Lodge/local/4754">Carlton Motor Lodge</a> in Studio City. While we gave <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/10/25/94821/422/hotels/Carey_Mulligan_Snubs_LA_s_Luxury_Hotel_Scene_Stays_in_a_Best_Western_Instead">Carey Mulligan</a> respect for her recent budget stay in Hollywood, we are calling bullsh*t on this incident, which also just happened to be captured by the paparazzi. Because if you really wanted to have a secret sex session you would have done it at one of the

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Heritage2.jpg" class="top"> While driving down the highway on the way to the popular Delaware weekend destination of Rehoboth Beach, you'll end up passing a stream of Comfort Inns, Rodeway Inns and various other "Inns," but it's this one that caught our eye. First, it was the "Best Buy on the HWY" sign that made us turn our heads, but then the faux-White House structure set just back from the highway had us intrigued. It looked like some sort of dressed up old brick apartment building, and yet it was a Golf Club as well as a hotel? This, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Heritage+Inn+And+Golf+Club/ian/241712">Heritage Inn and Golf Club</a>, where nightly rates starts at $129 during the summer, is a perfect example of

Well too bad, because the British are invading it first. Virgin Holidays out the UK have today announced that they're the official vacation package company for the Harry Potter amusement park (at least as far as the UK is concerned), and people who book their packages that leave on Virgin Atlantic flights from London-Gatwick get first dibs on the park as early as May 28, among other early-bird perks. It sounds awesome if you're in Britain now and can go, but there is
