The holidays are all about Santa, cookies, snow and all that cheery goodwill toward others, but sometimes during the chaotic season you need to just get away with your honey for some coal-worthy behavior. All you bad boys and girls can head to the Se San Diego for its Naughty and Nice holiday package.

The one-night package allows you to get dirty in a Moroccan Rasul steam room. There you'll get the Se Spa's mud bath for two—the mud treatment is the spa's signature service, so it should be good. Then you and your sweetie can clean yourselves off with a soak in in a couple's tub. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-11-23T15:51:24-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/12/111818/81

Spending the holidays in a hotel may not seem very homey and warm, but the Omni San Diego, next to Petco Park in the downtown Gaslamp Quarter, wants to give it a go with several holiday packages.

The Stuff Your Stocking package starts at $99 a night. As you can guess from the package's name, the hotel will give you a personalized holiday stocking filled with coupons to stores and restaurants near the hotel. You'll also get a voucher that entitles you to stay in the hotel for the same rate in 2010. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-11-12T11:55:46-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/6/11555/3062 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/34094/pearlhotel.jpg" class="top"> <p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Pearl/ian/255730">The Pearl Hotel</a> will toast to San Diego's Beer Week (November 6 to 15) with a <b>poolside beer brunch on November 8</b> featuring suds from local artisan brewery AleSmith Brewing Co. <p>The beer brunch will have four brewski-and-eats stations at each corner of the pool.

If you're looking for some last-minute Halloween plans, San Diego's Rancho Bernardo Inn is throwing a spooky holiday bash—but not too spooky that it'll scare the kids away—complete with a haunted house, trick-or-treating and, of course, lots and lots of sugar.

The hotel's hosting its first Halloween at the Inn event on Oct. 30 and 31 with a Not-Too-Scary Haunted House ($9), which targets little ones who love the chills of Halloween but are easily rattled. Kids can dress up to enter a costume contest and to trick-or-treat on the hotel's property. They'll also have the chance to get their faces painted and do some pumpkin decorating. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-10-27T09:42:49-05:00 33.0315030 -117.06740 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/22/222946/86

We got worried when the first San Diego Hotel Week only had one lonely hotel on board back in July. But as Hotel Week—set for November 13 to 26—approaches, more than 40 are on the roster. Thing is, we found that you're not necessarily getting a deal if you book a room through the Hotel Week website.

Don't get us wrong, you can score some price cuts. The Estancia La Jolla is giving out rooms for 50 percent off. A room that usually costs $275 is $137.50 exclusively through Hotel Week's website. You can also snag a guestroom at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront for $99. The regular price is $109.]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-10-23T08:39:27-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
