<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/GansParkExhale.jpg" class="top">This winter, both <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Gansevoort/local/34">Gansevoort Meatpacking</a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gansevoort+Park+Avenue/local/1664">Gansevoort Park Ave</a> are battling Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) with a new promotional package that includes things like a duplex penthouse suite, a tropical cocktail, vitamin D-infused facial, and beach attire for hanging out in your room. For many people, this might just be enough to lift the heavy winter blues. But Gansevoort's not stopping there. Taking all precautions, the hotel has also decided to photoshop pictures of you with Santa Claus. And provide you with a "friend for the day" (it's exactly how it sounds). Or, even, if that glum mood just won't pick up, to offer a Compliment Concierge that will shower you with praise throughout your entire

Bath: A New Luxury Spa Hotel Will Access Bath's Natural Hot Springs

A new five-star hotel will bring some friendly competition to the centuries-old Thermae Bath Spa, a naturally-occuring thermal spring which has been in use since the 8th century BC. The English city of Bath (named, appropriately, after its most distinctive feature) is planning a 98-room luxury spa hotel that will access the same hot springs as its world-famous neighbor, the Thermae Bath Spa.

According to This Is Bath, developers of this new property will drill a new borehole 75 meters below street level to access the base of Hetling Spring. Our only piece of advice: keep Steven Tyler away from the construction site; we know how he gets around slippery surfaces.

Miami is full of sexy hotels, we know that. But what about sexy bathrooms? You know, the kind that offer more than just your run-of-the-mill shower. A place to cool off after a day at the beach or to steam things up with your special someone.

Here are the Five Sexiest Hotel Bathrooms we've seen in Miami.

1. Soho Beach House (above)
Sexy Details: A soaking tub, full-sized Cowshed products, a comfy visitor's chair next to the tub--all in a pretty, sun-splashed bathroom the size of many Ocean Drive hotel rooms.

New York: It Sure Gets Sunny On The Peninsula's Sun Terrace

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/Sun1.jpg" class="top">Last week, we were invited to check out the newly-refurbished Sun Terrace on the twenty-first floor of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+New+York/local/168">Peninsula New York</a>. Well, this was a no-brainer. A private patio perched over Fifth Avenue that has been designed for the sole purpose of sunbathing? Why, yes, we'd love to. The deck wraps around three sides of the Peninsula building, and at around 1pm (when we were there), the direct sun can be a little intense. We'd recommend visiting later in the daybut definitely go before it gets dark, as the views here are simply not to be missed. Technically, you have to be either a guest of the hotel or the spa to enjoy the terrace, but for

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/canyonranchburger.JPG" class="top"> Usually when we arrive at hotels, thanks to a long day of travel and the odd hotel check-in hour of 3pm, we're starving, bad. So once we get the room tour, unpack the bags, admire the view, we dial up room service and order a menu staple--cheeseburger and fries.But at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Canyon+Ranch+Miami+Beach/local/1284">Canyon Ranch Miami Beach</a> which is all about healthy living and getting your diet back on track, there's no such thing as a cheeseburger and fries. There is however THIS--a Southwestern veggie burger served on a whole wheat roll and topped with avocado, lettuce, tomato and pico de gallo. On the side to much on? Healthy coleslaw.It may be hard to believe but it was
