We've been to the MO before and didn't notice a rooftop bar but perhaps we missed it. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/5/171456/493/hotels/Finn_Hudson_Was_Kicking_It_at_the_Mandarin_Oriental#comment-block">Comment away</a> if you have the answers.

Guadalajara: This Little Piggy Doesn't Care About Swine Flu

juliana — 2009-11-05T16:29:22-05:00

Last month we spent a few nights at the Intercontinental Guadalajara and we couldn't get over how every time we got off the elevator in the lobby, this little piggy was ready to greet us. The pig actually was a part of the hotel's lobby restaurant Frutas y Flores which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Diners did not seem to be deterred by this figurine and we never asked whether the pig had always been there or if it was an "Eff Swine Flu" sort of display. Still, we got a kick out it. Until we returned home from Mexico with a stomach virus. But that's another story.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/32083/tongaroomsf.jpg" class="top"> It's hard to believe, but New Year's Eve is less than two months away, which means a parade of hotel party tickets will soon beor already areavailable to the public. Most of these are highfalutin affairs where you'll find women competing in unofficial "Who has the shortest skirt?" contests, and where bottles of champagne circulate throughout the evening. These swanky soirees are easy enough to find, but for an unusual change of pace, you may want to consider heading to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Fairmont+San+Francisco/local/8">The Fairmont</a> in San Francisco, where an inaugural <a href="http://www.tongaroom.com/?l=0,72,91">New Year's luau</a> will be held at the historic Tonga Room. HotelChatter reader Mark, a long time Tonga Room patron, tipped us off to this unique NYE

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.jaunted.com/files/5957/yankeestadiumgame6.jpg" class="top"> So the New York Yankees won the World Series last night and we're sure <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/27/13226/771/hotels/We_Don_t_Think_Many_Phillies_Fans_Are_Going_To_Book_The_Hotel_Indigo_Chelsea">The Hotel Indigo Chelsea</a> has popped plenty of bubbly for their Philly guest losers. But the celebrations aren't over yet. The city of New York will throw a traditional ticker tape parade to honor the athletes tomorrow in downtown New York. The official route: <blockquote> The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Broadway at Battery Place and proceed northbound up the fabled Canyon of Heroes to City Hall, at Chambers St. At City Hall, the Yankees will be presented with Keys to the City at 1 p.m. by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.</blockquote>You don't need a hotel room to watch the parade

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Melia_Hotel_Dusseldorf.jpg" class="top"> Popped into our Hotelchatter Flickr Pool recently (thanks, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14167012@N03/">jochenb</a>) were some pics of a new hotel in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Sol%20Melia%20Hotels">Sol Melia Hotel</a> group: the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Melia+Duesseldorf/ian/328554">Melia Hotel Düsseldorf</a>, Germany. It's just opened up last month and is certainly lookin' neat and tidy, if the photos are anything to go by.More info about the new Melia: it's right in the center of Düsseldorf, and it's opposite the Hofgarten, famous for being the oldest public park in the whole of Germany. And it's close to shopping and sightseeing districts, and most conveniently, just a ten-minute drive from the airport.The Düsseldorf Melia has some opening offer rates starting with their basic double room at 99 ($145) or 139 ($205)
