On the plus side, hotels always get a good piece of the actionhere's a look at five hotel events this week worth your while. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/AndazFashionWeek.jpeg" class="top">Since October, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Andaz+5th+Avenue/local/1700">Andaz 5th Avenue</a> has been asking a rotating series of local artists to paint murals that represent their "view" of New York.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/WFashionUnionSquare.jpg" class="top">We showed up to a pre-Fashion Week party last night at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+New+York+Union+Square/local/177">W Union Square</a> and, as usual with these types of events, made a beeline for the bar. Planning on ordering a quick cocktail, we then noticed something that made us chuckle. At one end of the bar on a silver tray were rows of mini cupcakesthick with icing, delicious looking, and virtually untouched. But what else did we expect? This is <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Fashion%20Week%20Hotels">Fashion Week</a>, after all, where anything more than <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/8/31/122551/797/hotels/The_True_Fashion_Week_Meal_at_The_James_New_York_Celery_and_Champagne_">a stick of celery</a> is considered an indulgence. Not that these sugar bombs put a damper on anyone's fun.

NY Fashion Week is fast approaching. And you know what that means. Private parties, lobbies littered with models, and The James' signature NYFW meal.

And those are just for the humans. Fashion-forward dogs, on the other hand, will be strutting their stuff at the New Yorker. On February 10, specifically, when a New Yorkie pet apparel fashion show descends on the hotel, complete with a celebrity appearance by none other than Schmitty the Weather Dog, possibly our favorite hotel-hopping pooch ever.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/GramercyParkDresses.jpeg" class="top">Yesterday, we saw that it's possible for guests at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Gramercy+Park+Hotel/local/4">Gramercy Park Hotel</a> to take home their favorite parts of the hotel when they check out. But there's something weird and creepy about taking home the cocktail dress of the waitress who just served you drinks at the bar. Thankfully, that's not one of the options on the Amenities menu. But after you see the new dresses (worn by waitresses at Rose Bar or Gramercy Terrace), which were created by French-born designer Sophie Theallet, you might well be wishing for one of your own! Designed out of stretch silk crepe, the garments have been made in two colors"Gramercy red" and "midnight blue"and are supposed to mimic the

It's crazy, we know, but it's already time to plan for New York Fashion Week. The good news is that this upcoming NYFW is our personal favorite, since it's the fall/winter collections (layering, deep colors!) and it won't be hot and steamy outside as it usually is during the September shows.

If you've always wanted to attend a Fashion Week runway show as an invited guest, now is your chance. Via a Tablet Hotels contest in partnership with Oscar de la Renta, you could be headed to NYC for 5 nights at the Tribeca Grand and seats at the OdlR show.
