<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/billabong_suiteFD.jpg" class="top"> On what ended up being a sunny, yet slightly overcast day in Laguna Beach, we had the opportunity to check out ten recently overhauled rooms at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/La+Casa+Del+Camino+-+Laguna+Beach/ian/136099">La Casa del Camino</a>, a comfortable boutique hotel that lies just above the city's famed shoreline. 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. 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.

Levi Strauss has partnered up with the desert property to transform one of the hotel's rooms into Suite 501, an environment that evokes the Levi's denim-filled lifestyle. According to the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2009/08/levi-straussace-hotel-collaborate-and-the-result-is-suite-.html">LA Times</a>, the result is a space with a lived-in, rustic look: <blockquote>The room featured a denim upholstered headboard, Levis pillowcases and artwork from Levis most recent campaign, shot by Ryan McGinley. The Walt Whitman poem Go Forth, the focus of Levi's recent marketing campaign, is painted on a denim tapestry. The curated ephemera vibe matches the hotel's rustic chic campground aesthetic; canvas covered walls, salvaged furniture, Native America throws and portable record

Jenna — 2009-03-06T15:01:16-05:00

Hey! Did you know Barbie's turning 50 on Monday, March 9th? Sista is ascending from PYT-status to certified cougarhood — and if she were a real woman, we would strongly urge her to cease dressing like a 21-year-old. But she's not real and she remains eternally hot; her life in plastic remains fantastic. Thus, her birthday gives us an excuse to surround ourselves with pink and have a fat drink.

First up, Milwaukee's new boutique-chic Iron Horse Hotel is getting the ball rolling with a Barbie birthday celebration

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/curtistripkick.jpg" class="imgborder">The other day we were all giddy over <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Curtis+Hotel/local/655">The Curtis Hotel</a> in downtown Denver which has different theme floors like the Science Fiction Floor and the Dance Floor. We posted a snapshot from the 13th Floor also known as the "Dun dun dunn" floor which uses the tagline: "We've traced the call, it's coming from the hotel." So needless to say we wanted more of the Curtis. And today we've found it on <a href="http://www.tripkick.com/hotels/view/310/curtis">TripKick.com</a>, a site attempting to Seat Guru-ize hotels. For instance, TripKick recommends guests booking floors five and up for the best views. Quieter rooms at the hotel end in 05 and 06. Rooms to avoid are the ones ending in 01 which apparently
