<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/stregisboraboravillas.jpg" class="top"> You know, we wouldn't mind going to Bora Bora this weekend. We hear Vince Vaughn is there right now. And while we're thinking about it, we wouldn't really mind seeing Vince Vaughn swimming around our Bora Bora hotel villa topless -- though we'd probably be more interested in seeing Psycho-era Vince than Wedding Crashers Vince, but beggars can't be choosers. And hey, according to <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10312008/gossip/pagesix/marital_mayhem_136093.htm">Page Six</a>, if we hopped a flight out to Bora Bora today, we actually might get a piece of that kind of action: <blockquote>A slew of A-list comedic actors have taken over the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/St.+Regis+Resort%2C+Bora+Bora/ian/239541">St. Regis Resort in Bora Bora</a> to make Jon Favreau's upcoming flick, "Couples Retreat." The movie pairs Kristen

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/lutonhoo_4weddings.jpg" class="imgborder"> The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Luton+Hoo+Hotel+Golf+And+Spa/ian/258786">Luton Hoo Hotel</a> in England doesn't have this name just to inspire bad "Luton Who?" jokes. Apparently "hoo" means "hill" in old Saxon so really it's the plain old Luton Hill Hotel. But it's got a great selling point that it was one of the reception venues in Hugh Grant's <a href="http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/f/4wandf.html">Four Weddings and a Funeral</a>--we definitely want to tread in Hugh's footsteps.The UK Independent reviewed the Luton Hoo recently and had mostly positive feedback to give. It's only been a hotel for a short time, after being a neglected private house for many years, so most of it's newly renovated--although 1980s touches like peach-colored paint, weird stripes and gold taps remain, which we're not

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/11725/slh_casanova.jpg" class="imgborder">In honor of Woody Allen's latest film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", our bro <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/8/14/215448/907/travel/Movie+Set+Travel:+Vicky+Cristina+Barcelona">Jaunted</a> has the lowdown on the Penélope Cruz-Scarlett Johansson make out (apparently not that hot. Wait--who are we kidding?), as well as where to eat, visit and sleep.And while he sagely recommends <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Casa+Fuster+Hotel/ian/222832">Hotel Casa Fuster</a>, we're going to throw the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Rafaelhoteles+Casanova/ian/244678">Casanova Hotel</a> in the mix, and not just because the name is so apropos for Javier Bardem's character. We've written about the Casanova <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/12/17/21138/000/hotels/Barcelona_Hotel_Guide_The_Casanova_Hotel">before</a>, but it just so happens that the hotel is offering a set exchange rate of 1.3 for U.S. travelers through September 15. Room rates at the hotel start at $197. Apparently the hotel lobby bar is

Chicago: Movie Set Hotel :: Hotel Monaco Makes an Appearance in the Dark Knight

If you haven't seen The Dark Knight we highly recommend that you do as it's just totally awesome, although a tad disturbing.

And if you're a true hotel geek like ourselves you'll be tickled to know that Chicago's Hotel Monaco gets a pretty significant cameo in the film.

The Mayor of Gotham has a killer office overlooking the Chicago River and the letters of Hotel Monaco vertical sign are easily discernible out the window.

Sadly, the hotel doesn't offer any sort of Dark Knight/Batman package but we think they should seriously consider one.

Las Vegas: Movie Set Hotel :: The Golden Nugget is The Scene of "The Grand"

<![CDATA[<img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/woodythegrand.jpg" class="imgborder"><a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809733374/info">"The Grand"</a> is a pretty much a straight-to-video movie starring some big names like Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines, Richard Kind David Cross, and Chris Parnell.Despite its limited theater presence, the Grand is actually pretty funny if not a little too long. Woody stars as a fuck-up heir to an old-school casino, The Rabbit's Foot, and due to his excessive drug use and poor management style, the casino is in peril. A mega-Vegas hotelier/developer named Steve Lavisch (hah, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/stevewynn">get it?</a>), played by Michael McKeen, wants to demolish it and build One Lavisch Plaza. One Lavish Plaza is actually a skyscraper hotel that consists of just one room, available for for $10 million a night.
