The 'Top Chef' Finale Sees Hotel Action in LA and the Bahamas
While everyone's pulling out his best Tom Colicchio face and judging Richard Blais and Michael Isabella's four-course menu (Blais, you should have went with the Cap'n Crunch ice cream) on last night's Top Chef finale, we are scoping out all of the hotels featured on the all-stars competition.
The last two cheftestants were left to duke it out over the stove in the Bahamas. Of course, they holed up on the island's hotel-for-the-stars, The Cove Atlantis. The chefs, who stayed in an earth-toned suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, each chose one of the 21 Atlantis restaurants in which to set up their own one-night-only eateries.

My Own Private Island: David Copperfield's Musha Cay, the Bahamas
Where: Bahamas
All this week, HotelChatter contributor Eric Rosen will be taking us on a guided tour of the globe’s most exclusive, luxurious, over-the-top vacation retreats in our new Private Islands Series. We’ll venture from the Bahamas to Fiji, from Africa’s crystalline Lake Tanganyika to the emerald waters of Cambodia, and everywhere in between. That is, everywhere you can be ruler of your own little island.
Obviously we’re hotel folk at heart. We love checking out everything from the latest trends to how they’re stocking the minibars to the most fashionable uniforms, but even we have our antisocial moments…and in those moments, our minds drift to the various paradises of sumptuous solitude that we’ve come across in our reading: private vacation islands you can have to yourself. So come along with us as we sail from cays to atolls, and jet from secluded sandbars to isolated islets in our week-long series on Private Islands.
We begin our week with one of the most fabulous private islands in the world, and it’s actually close to home in the sandy atolls of the Bahamas on the private playground of no less an illustrious illusionist than David Copperfield! It’s called Musha Cay, and is in the secluded Exuma chain of islands, about 85 miles southeast of Nassau.

Atlantis is Starting Kids Early on Their Club Habits with New Teen Club, Crush
"Your room or my room? Oh yeah, I forgot my parents are here too."
The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas has made no effort to hide its love for the teen crushes of the day from Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, The Jonas Brothers and our fave, today's resident heartbreaker, Justin Bieber.
But merely inviting the latest teen dream to visit and perform a concert while selling teen-themed packages to guests wasn't enough for Atlantis. So they've gone and created an $11 million nightclub especially for teens. And it's called, Crush.
Designed by renowned architect and interior designer, Jeffrey Beers, the 14,000 square-foot mod-inspired space boasts; an interactive Internet Lounge complete with multi-touch computers and surface tables with photo editing and publishing interfaced to Facebook; a Gaming Stadium boasting a 22-foot floor-to-ceiling Gaming Tree and private cabanas stocked with state-of-the-art technology including the newly launched Microsoft flagship motion sensor product Kinect for Xbox 360; and a 1,500 square-foot Dance Club complete with multi-purpose video walls, performance stage, VIP sections and doormen all worthy of paparazzi.

Best Killer View: Kamalame Cay in The Bahamas
It's what you've been waiting all year for--The 2010 HotelChatter Awards! We'll be bringing you the best and worst of the year all day today and part of tomorrow. Agree or disagree with our picks? Air your thoughts in comments below.
There's simply nothing better than getting a room with a Killer View during your hotel stay and down at the Kamalame Cay Private Island Resort in the Bahamas, there is no shortage of killer views.
Our own MsRebecca spent a few days down in paradise this spring marveling at the views from all angles. Above here is a room view from the patio of the Wild Dilly beach cottage but if that doesn't satiate you, check out the views from the resort's spa below.
As MsRebecca herself said, "Killer Views are common in the Caribbean but on this long, thin strip of land--Kamalame Cay is just three miles long--they are inescapable. Why fly to Bora Bora when this is the Bahamas?" Rates at Kamalame Cay start at $395 a night. Cottage Suites start at $760 a night.

Watching The Water Through The Floor At Kamalame Cay's Overwater Spa
Where: Kamalame Cay, Bahamas
You know how yesterday we were saying that the Killer Views followed us everywhere at Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas? Well, we weren't kidding. Even when we were face down on a massage table, those persistent picturesque views just wouldn't quit. That's because the Overwater Spa at Kamalame has windows in the floor so you can gaze into the ocean while you're getting a treatment.
We know. Insane, right? We're a little obsessed with Overwater Bungalows and love that we don't have to travel as far as Tahiti or the Maldives to enjoy them.

The Killer Views Follow You Everywhere At Kamalame Cay In The Bahamas
Where: Kamalame Cay, Bahamas
The view from the patio of the Wild Dilly beach cottage.
Over three days and nights at Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas this weekend, we were charmed by many things: driving our 'sand chariots' (golf carts) around the property, the delivery of cookies to our doorstep each afternoon, and the laidback, barefoot vibe that comes with being on a private island resort. But the one thing that continued to steal our attention above all else: the killer views.
They were everywhere. Arriving on the short barge ride over from Andros, looking out from the Great House, and this--the view from our beach cottage suite. We couldn't walk past our windows without stopping to stare at the water for a few minutes, and often found ourselves losing half an hour to simply meditating on the view.
We tested it from the pink Adirondack chairs on our patio, from the beach chairs, and from the hammock--all stunning.

Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian Play Naughty at The Cove at Atlantis
Bill O'Reilly may not approve of "The Graduate"-themed photoshoot that Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian shot for Elle magazine's September issue but we're finding ourselves filled with a little bit of lust...hotel lust that is.
The shoot was done in the Bahamas at The Cove at Atlantis, the luxury property on the mega-resort. (Remember when Biebs was there for a concert a few months ago?) And judging from a few of the shots, it looks like Kim and Justin shot around one of the beach cabanas which are part of Cain at the Cove.

One & Only Ocean Club Embraces Its Island Vibe in Remodeled Beach Rooms
If seeing Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber's bizarre Elle photo shoot in the Bahamas has you craving an island getaway, check out One&Only Ocean Club. The Bahamas hotel just remodeled its beachfront rooms.
Designed by Adam D. Tihany, who's done the decor for The Joule Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, made over the Crescent Wing's 40 rooms and 10 suites. The refreshed rooms draw inspiration from British colonial style and native Bahamian elements.

Katy Perry Gets 'Warm, Wet and Wild' at Atlantis (Presumably Without Resort Fees)
Perhaps the only way to really enjoy The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas without worrying about being nickel and dimed for everything is to be Katy Perry (or any of the other pop sensations that have performed at the resort this summer.)
The "California Gurls" singer/problem speller splashed around the water park with her entourage the day after performing to a sold-out crowd at the hotel's Grand Ballroom, according to the Daily Mail.
The Aquaventure water park at Atlantis is typically populated with children but there is a lot going on there--11 pools, water slides, (fake) river rides and even rock-climbing. And this is all included in your room rate. But about that room rate....

Rock House Hotel Owner Dies; Hotel to Close for a Week
Tragedy has struck the luxe Rock House Hotel in Harbour Island, Bahamas. The hotel's designer, J. Wallace Tutt III, was found dead on Saturday morning in a grassy area of Harbour Island, known as The Narrows. He was just 53. Police are investigating the death but the AP reports that the hotel will close for a week.
Tutt transformed a rental villa and former schoolhouse in the Rock House Hotel in 2003. But Tutt, who was also responsible for the interior designs of houses owned by Gianni Versace and Cher as well as the Angler's Boutique Hotel in Miami, didn't turn this into some sleepy island getaway.

Bieber Fever To Take Over Atlantis Resort on June 12
The Atlantis has already secured its status as the preeminent hotel for tweeners by getting Disney factory hitmakers like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers to perform and hang out at the Bahamas hotel. Last year it even hosted a Miss Teen Fantasy Camp to start girls feeling self-loathing early.
Just in case you were worried Atlantis was in danger of losing its tween cred, the hotel announced that it's getting two of the hottest names among the under-14 set: Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. Insert screams from little-girl Bieber Believers and Swift wanna-bes here.
