Chicago: Lollapalooza Hotels: Put Your Name on the List at Chicago Hard Rock

amandak — 2008-07-15T10:09:54-05:00

The Lollapalooza weekend is getting close again and the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago has a deal we rather like: it's the "Dude, My Name is on the List" package and for $4,100 you get a pretty cool VIP experience for Lollapalooza over the weekend of August 1-3.

The VIP package includes two nights' accommodation in a tower suite, two VIP passes to Lollapalooza include Lolla Lounge access and full access to the Hard Rock's Music Lounge, including post-festival parties each night.

Your only problem might be gathering enough courage to actually ask for a package that's called, "Dude, My Name is on the List."

Chicago: Upgrade Your Lollapalooza Experience at The James Chicago

At the tender age of 16, we attended our first Lollapalooza Concert. Sonic Youth, Pavement, Hole and Cypress Hill were playing, and boy, did we get our ass kicked in the crowd. The only respite we had was coming home to a shocked mother, who tended to our cuts and bruises while berating herself for thinking Lollapalooza was some sort of lollipop renaissance fair.

Mom's older and wiser now, and so are we, which is why we're considering the concert packages available at The James Chicago when we attend this summer's Lollapalooza, featuring Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine and that other `90s favorite, Nine Inch Nails.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/lepetitprinceroom.jpg" class="imgborder">Don'tcha just love Montreal? Above or below ground, there's never a lack of great food, cold beer, and lively nightlife. And if your French isn't up to parlez vous, no worries, English is the second language. One of our favorite times to visit is late June/early July during the annual <a href="http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/jal2007_2008/splash.aspx/">Montreal Jazz Festival</a>, which takes over the city like one huge block party for the masses. This is a time when the world's leading international artists ascend on Montreal, performing day and night for 250,000 of their fans. Catch a few sets on the live stages set up on the streets and in the parks. Purchase a ticket for one of headliners at an indoor concert venue.

Venice : A 16th Century Venice Palazzo That Won't Leave Your Wallet Empty

mytwocents — 2008-05-01T15:05:01-05:00

Woke up this morning after yesterday's cubicle dream and reality set in. We're not rich and/or famous. But that doesn't mean we'll never be able to make our way to Venice before it sinks.

And while we thought we'd have to trade down, way down for a hotel so we can manage to throw in a gondola ride and tix to Italy's Heinekin Jammin' Fest to see The Police, enter Arco Antico Guest House. Sweet. Despite the somewhat drab decor, Arco Antico has great guest reviews and terrific rates. Sixteenth century palazzo stay here we come.
