<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/cannerypierbikes.jpg" class="top"> Aww. Don't you sometimes just wish you could hop on a 50's style bike and ride up and down the pier and only stop to eat ice cream cones and kiss your significant other and stuff like that? Well, you can fulfill your only-in-the-movies-style fantasies at the Oregon Coast's adorably-charming (but pretty big we mean "charming" as in playful and quirky, not in the Craigslist-esque, this-place-is-small way) <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Cannery+Pier+Hotel/ian/232885">Cannery Pier Hotel</a>. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timetoembark/3610904649/sizes/o/">Embark Creative</a> snapped this sweet shot of the fleet of 50's-style bikes available to guests at the Cannery Pier in Astoria, located in the Northwest corner of Oregon. They are, admittedly, "50's-replica" bikes, but they're offered up at no fee for guests to use

Despite its $1 billion industry, Oregon’s wine country is still something of a mystery compared to better known regions like Napa and Sonoma, and lodging options have been limited to small B&B’s, farmhouses and inns. By August 2009, though, oenophiles in search of luxury among the vines will have a new option at the Allison Inn and Spa in Yamhill County, just 20 miles southwest of Portland.

Yesterday we told you about hotels where Twilight the book was set and how they're smartly stealing the money from crazed fans.

Today we bring to you news about the where the Twilight movie was filmed. We know all you crazed fans already saw the movie at midnight last night, which is why tonight you should go to Edward & Bella's Prom at The View Point Inn. That's right, instead of seeing the movie again (you can do that tomorrow), you can live the movie by attending the prom where the prom scene was filmed. We can't believe it either.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/hoteloui3.jpg" class="top">While in Portland, we decided to hit up the famed Oregon hoteliers, <a href="http://www.mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=124">McMenamins</a> for a tour of their forthcoming <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/30/151517/421/hotels/Six_Hip_Hotels_to_Hit_Up_in_Portland">newest property</a>. It will become a hotel, but right now it's a bit, well, scrappy. The website describes it at the "New Downtown Hotel" but we have it on good word from an inside source that they've finally decided on a name. The new Hotel Louie is named after the former owner of the Crystal Ballroom down the street and linked with the property. Like most of the McMenamins properties, the building is steeped in history. It's been everything from a hotel (Hotel Alma, Hotel Georgian, Hotel Tait, Majestic Hotel) to a mens' bath house
