Knowing that, the fact that there's now a Jacky Cheung <b>Rock Star Suite</b> at Macau's <b>Hard Rock Hotel</b> is pretty cool news.<p>Even if you don't know too much about Jacky Cheung, you'll learn plenty by staying in his suite. You'll be greeted by a video of Jacky explaining both the elements of design in the room and his favorite spots to visit in Macau. The room itself includes plenty of Jacky Cheung memorabilia, including his own white baby amandak 2009-11-09T16:07:10-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/4/12758/0566 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/Penthouse_Living_Room.jpg" class="top"></p> <p>If you&#146;ve dreamed of living in a New York penthouse but only ever get as far as flipping through the ads in the <i>Times</i> real estate section, you might now be closer to living your dream thanks to the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/BUCKINGHAM+HOTEL/local/181"><b>Buckingham Hotel</b></a>. Sitting atop the small boutique hotel near Carnegie Hall is <b>The Martinelli Penthouse</b>, which was once home to opera singer Giovanni Martinelli when he was performing at the Met, and also used by musical star Bobby Van as a dance studio.</p> <p>Now, the two-bedroom duplex with a totally awesome terrace is available for meetings, private parties, and of course as hotel accommodations for cashed-up guests.

And just in case you're wondering, no, we didn't run into any ex-cast member of a certain O.C. reality television show. <p>Anyways, we're of the "we have to see it to believe it" variety; almost daily we catch wind of the latest multi-million dollar renovation, but it takes an in-person visit to determine exactly what makes those new, meticulously chosen linens and architectural changes worth a guest's time and, sometimes, extra money. <p>Casa del Heidi Atwal 2009-11-03T14:16:17-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/28/221834/93 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/beverlyhillsbungalows.jpg" class="top"><p> We are suckers for old luxury hotels and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Beverly+Hills+Hotel/ian/124056"><b>Beverly Hills Hotel</b></a> is one of our favorites, not just because of its long history with silver screen stars or the guaranteed celeb sightings in the hotel's coffee shop but also because of the luxe bungalows that have been frequented by icons such as Marilyn Monroe (Bungalow #1), John Lennon and Yoko Ono (#9) and our personal fave, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phyllis-Nefler/70058402188">Phyllis Nefler</a>.<p> The Pink Palace has 21 Bungalows in total (in addition to 200 rooms in the main building) and once you've stayed in one, you'll find it really hard to want to stay in the main building again. The bungalows feel like your own little apartment in juliana 2009-10-30T12:33:27-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/20/22210/543 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/34094/FourSeasonsChiSuite.jpg" class="top"> <p>For those who roll like VIPs when traveling, the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Chicago/ian/112676">Four Seasons Chicago</a></b> wants to give you an incentive to stay at its <b>newly designed suites</b> with its <b>Suite Rewards</b> package. <p>For every night you stay at either the one- or two-bedroom suites, the hotel will give you a $100 gift card to The 900 Shops on the Magnificent Mile, which has an indoor entrance via the hotel so you have easy access for those nighttime Gucci cravings; free parking, which regularly costs $46 for valet and $34 for self-parking; and breakfast for two. <p>And it's not a chintzy continental breakfast, either.
