Tech Exec's Hot Hotels

Where: Place de l'Eglise, Carcassonne, France, 11000

Valleywag is a new tech industry gossip rag from the creators of Gawker. Tech industry gossip?  Sounds like a bunch of dorks talking about the latest iPod rumors, right? Nope, not at all.  So far Vallewag has been dishing the dirt on the personal lives of everyone who is anyone Silicon Valley.

Why does all this concern us?  If you look closely at some of the Flickr photos Valleywag points to you can find some of the hottest hotels in the world.  After all, who better to point us to killer hotels than monied up tech execs with new young wives to impress...right?

For instance, the Flickr photographic evidence suggests that Yahoo! exec Toby Coppel, and his wife, stayed at the Hotel de la Cite in Carcassonne France late last summer.  What kind of place is Hotel de la Cite?  Well according to one recent visitor:

OK so let's be clear - I didn't go the whole hog and book the carlos fandango have your own sitting room kind of suite - I opted for the cheapest internet special rate but it was glorious. Best location - right in the city walls, gorgeous garden -including a pool with a view and staff who just couldn't do enough (rather unusual in itself - let's just say I don't look like a major tipper). The room was giant....double sinks in marble bathroom, antique French furniture, posh, sweet smelling toiletries, fluffy bathrobes - you get the picture.

We hope Toby sprung for a carlos fandango suite.
