<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/Hash_Exterior.JPG" class="top">Last month, we told you about the opening of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/7/6/1702/87718/hotels/Wake_and_Partake_at_Hotel_Erwin_s_Hash">Hash</a> at JDVs <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Erwin/local/1519">Hotel Erwin</a> in Venice Beach. Now that weve had a chance to go in for a meal there, we wanted to let you in on all the delish menu items you can expect to help stave off the munchies.True to its name, the restaurant serves up four different kinds of hash for breakfast (including one daily special like the one with apples and house-smoked turkey bacon) from Monday-Friday 7:00am-11:00am, and Saturday-Sunday 8:00am-1:00pm. You can also get your standard egg and pancake dishes along with some house specialties like the artery-clogging "Chicken Fried Steak n Eggs n Biscuits" ($13.95), or the colorful Green Eggs &

Venice: Fairy-Tale Destination, Fairy-Tale Deal for Italian Getaway

Heidi Atwal — 2009-08-20T13:32:11-05:00

It's no one-cent weekend, but this travel package, which includes stays in both Tuscany and Venice, is one of the most reasonable, all-inclusive deals we've seen in a while. We concede that the base price of $799 (airfare included) is slightly unbelievable—and, if you get into the nitty-gritty fine print, it truly is, depending on where you're flying from and when you travel. Yet it's still a solid deal, and there are ways to stay within a bargain basement range if you're willing to be a little flexible (and isn't that the caveat of similar deals, anyway?).

Quarto D'Altino: Booking Error Results in Venice Getaway Deal for One Cent

Heidi Atwal — 2009-08-17T14:09:25-05:00

There's nothing we love more than a good booking mistake—when it falls in our favor, of course. Lucky travelers and locals who caught Italy's Crowne Plaza Quarto D'Altino's major, accidental price cut scored a weekend at the four-star resort for a mere one cent. Rooms at the hotel normally run for up to $214 per night, and its location is an accessible 20-minute train ride away from Venice.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/venicekv2.jpg" class="top"> Can we please just take a hot minute to "oooh" and "ahhh" at this view from <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Danieli/ian/141155">The Hotel Danieli</a> in Venice? Seriously. This is actually a shot taken from the terrace of the hotel's restaurant (where the photographer, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dereklakin/3701064258/">DerekLakin</a>, took tea, if you're interested) and doesn't this sort of make that dangerous trek through the very, very nearby Piazza San Marco worth it? And when we say "dangerous," we mean "risky due to falling pigeon poo everywhere." This hotel is part of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/luxury collection hotels">Starwood Luxury Collection</a> and is "made up of three beautiful Venetian palazzi dating back to the 14th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, featuring hand-made Murano glass chandeliers, precious rugs,

Venice Beach: A Sneak Peek Inside Venice Beach's New Hotel Erwin

For a long time, Venice Beach has been lacking in providing a hip but upscale beachfront stay. The only choices were hostels or those luxe beachfront hotels in Santa Monica at $400+ a night. Sadly, some of us just don't have that kind of cash. Nor do we want that stuffy, big-box hotel experience. And you can forget about having us spend a night in a hostel.
