<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/coolcornersuiteview_wscottsdale.jpg" class="top"> Headed to Scottsdale for the weekend and plan on staying at the sleek-looking <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Scottsdale/local/1078">W Scottsdale</a>? Here's an in-depth look at where you will be staying. We toured the property the other day and it's clear the room to book is the Cool Corner Suite. We peeked into one of these suites on the 5th floor and the star of the suite was the private balcony overlooking the hotel's sexy pool scene along with views of Zen Garden and Camelback Mountain. The suite itself is about 600-sq.ft. with a floating signature W Bed (all rooms feature a floating bed look), a fully-tricked out desk with a personal computer, a giant flat-screen TV and a spa-style bathroom featuring

<![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.

The new place to find your fave Kardashians is now the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+Dallas+Victory+Hotel+and+Residences/local/26">W Dallas Hotel & Residences</a> where Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are renting a two-bedroom penthouse condo. Naturally, where there's one Kardashian, there's always at least a couple of more visiting. That's what happened last week when Khloe was visited by Kim, Kourtney and mom Kris. Later on, brother, Krobert, er, we mean, Robert arrived and the fam headed to watch Lamar play for his new team, the Dallas Mavericks. Since there probably wasn't enough room for the rest of the Kardashians in Khloe and Lamar's apartment, we're gonna go ahead and presume they

Miami Beach: Going Dutch at the W South Beach

Back in October we noted that the W South Beach would be doing away with their Solea restaurant and installing The Dutch, an oyster bar, from NYC chef Andrew Carmellini. (This is actually the second Dutch location after NYC.)

But when we popped into the restaurant last week, we were salivating to see that Carmellini has imported one of our favorite dishes from his other NYC hotel, Locanda Verde at the Greenwich Hotel. That's right we're talking about the heavenly sheep's milk ricotta served with grilled bread ($14).

Fort Lauderdale: Now You Can Get Hollywood Hair With SoFla Views, At the W Fort Lauderdale

MsRebecca — 2012-01-16T11:31:00-05:00

No hot SoFla hotel is complete without a sleek salon doling out sleek tresses, so it was inevitable that the W Fort Lauderdale would join the blowout set. And it comes with serious A-list cred, as the beachfront property is the proud new location of a Ted Gibson Salon.

For anyone who doesn't know, Gibson is the kind of hairstylist who's always in demand at events like last night's Golden Globes. You may have also seen him work his magic on What Not to Wear.
