Hotel Construction Zones Are The New Hot Party Venue, In NYC At Least
Apparently there are not enough event spaces or hip hotel bars in New York City to appease the fashion flock, since the biggest party in town (for the trend-ites, it seems), was held in the under-construction core of the NoMad Hotel. If you remember, we went to the big Interview Magazine party last year in the under-construction core of The Standard Hotel, probably with some of the same attendees who showed at the NoMad.
There is this old saying: "two's a coincidence and three's a trend." Well, we've got two down with these parties; what hotel skeleton will be the next to hold a fashion party, thereby elevating this to a trend? Will songs by "Men at Work" be played? Now let's talk about the Nomad...

Book a Room at the W Boston, Get a Limited Edition Cynthia Rowley Scarf
We told you yesterday how the W Boston would be opening tomorrow but that rooms were unavailable for this upcoming weekend. Bummer (Are they not quite finished or sold-out? That is still the question.) However, rooms were open for next weekend at $260 a night for a Wonderful room.
But now it looks like the hotel has an opening "offer" that gives you some perks beyond just a room for the night. The W Boston Opening Experience includes in-room welcome cocktails; a chef-selected dessert at Market by Jean-Georges, a limited edition Cynthia Rowley scarf (exclusive to the W Boston) and a VIP Insider discount card to Cynthia Rowley that gives you 20 percent off all purchases at all Cynthia Rowley stores, even the ones in your hometown.
It's a great opening offer, if you happen to be Blair Waldorf from "Gossip Girl." So maybe it's a better Girls Weekend hotel than a Boys Weekend one. Rates start at $259 a night. The special offers link on the hotel's website is down right now but you can call the hotel directly to book. (617) 261-8700. Ask for the Opening Experience.

The Little Fashion Hotel That Could: Tcherassi Opens In Colombia
This year, Fashion Hotels have been very much...well, in fashion as it seems. Missoni debute the first edition of their hotel brand in Edinburgh, and Armani is still awaiting the opening of his first in the Burj tower in Dubai, and now designer Silvia Tcherassi has renovated a mansion in Colombia to become her own fashion hotel.
The 7-suite property sits in the UNESCO site of Cartegena de Indias, Colombia and is your typical retreat from the city, although with a true designer's touch as each room is uniquely decorated and sporting an open layout—yes, this means peekaboo bathrooms. Our favorite part of flipping through the gallery of images after the jump has got to be the vertical garden dominating a side of the pool courtyard; that's some very nature-conscious landscaping, if you ask us. Talk about maximizing space and bringing the outdoors in.

MUJI Design Turns Barcelona Apartments Into 'Whotells'
We may love us some hotels, but research into accommodations in a destination usually includes looking at alternatives like temporary stay apartments as well, especially when we sit tight in the same city for over a week. Contemporary design usually wins us over as well, since isn't the point of paying so much to stay in a nice place to not be surrounded by your usual clutter? For this reason, we totally know where we're headed next time we're in Barcelona: The MUJI Whotells buildings in the Raval, Eixample and Barceloneta quarters.
The collection of temporary stay apartments, managed and outfitted like hotel suites gone native, occupy refurbished designer apartment buildings and offer 1,2 and 3-bedroom apartments for travelers, with capacity of up to 6 people. So how are these different from other temporary stay apartments, you ask? Well, they're furnished by the Japanese master brand of simplicity and functionality: MUJI.

New York's Fashion 26 to Offer Prime Tyra and Martha-Spotting
Often with hotels, location is everything. And in New York, the hottest areas for hotels right now are SoHo—The Crosby Street Hotel just opened there, and a Trump and Mondrian will open next year—and Midtown West, which has The Distrikt and The Strand opening soon. A little further south of those Midtown hotels is Fashion 26: A Wyndham Hotel, which promises to open this winter. Like most hotels, Fashion 26 lists nearby attractions on its website: the Museum of Sex, Madison Square Park, and Macy’s Herald Square. It also takes a big cue from its neighbor, the Fashion Institute of Technology.

See Pam Anderson Strut at The Setai Tonight
Hey, fashionistas: Did the recession prevent you from jetting over to Milan, London, and Paris for the shows this fall? Well, chin up, kids. There’s always Funkshion Fashion Week in Miami! The four-day event for “progressive, established, and emerging designers to showcase their collections” is now on in South Beach, with much of the action taking place at The Setai.
The hotel is often portrayed as a sedate sanctuary, but anyone staying there between now and Sunday will instead be greeted by Pamela Anderson’s rear. The buxom actress is walking the runway for her fashion line, A* Muse by Richie Rich, and if recent shows in New Zealand and L.A. are any indication, there could be flashing. (Rich, by the way, says the line is designed for the "fun, sexy, surfer girl from Malibu meets Andy Warhol." So, yeah—Pammy.) Also, we hope she leaves her child fashion slave behind.

Elle's Fashionisto Names The Covent Garden in London His Favorite Hotel
We like to talk about Fashion Hotels quite a bit, naming everything from the Top 3 Milan Fashion Week hotels to where Chanel puts up their guests in Venice. But not often do we actually get to hear about the best fashion hotels from the horse's mouth, but of course Twitter comes through.
While Fashion Week season ends, one of the newest Twitter celebs has earned a loyal following thanks to his devotion to tweeting live from the front rows and the poshest parties; it's the Creative Director of Elle magazine, Joe Zee. You've seen him on Stylista and now on The City, but the man is more than just a powerful contact; he's a travel pro, with no qualms about naming his favorite hotel in London.

The Ritz Paris Gussies Up For Fashion Week With Vintage French Cars
Fashion Week has just ended in Milan, clearing out the bar at the Hotel Principe di Savoia until next season, although from the gossip reports, it sounds like Dita von Teese had a good time there.
As of yesterday, all the air-kissing and high-heeled action has moved north to Paris for the finale of the Fashion Weeks, and of course the city's most lavish hotels are pulling out all the stops to entertain the editors and rich clients. Thank to the FashionWeek Daily, we get little blips of news from across the Atlantic, and it sounds like the Hotel Ritz is back at the top. The famed address on the Place Vendome was visited by a parade of vintage French automobiles, organized by the Association Française Automobile, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Rachel Zoe Switches Her New York Hotel Loyalty
Alright, we'll admit it: we are totally addicted to the Bravo Show The Rachel Zoe Project, which follows top Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe through runway shows in New York, award show fittings in LA, and everywhere in between. In the first season, Rachel famously occupied the penthouse at the 60 Thompson hotel in the Soho neighborhood of New York City.
When the Thompson LES opened, we knew that it was only a matter of time before Rachel Zoe was calling it "bananas" and making it her new headquarters—as she did in the second season during New York Fashion Week. Her husband Rodger her assistants Taylor and Brad all agreed that the view from the LES' penthouse was very impressive, as was the whole space.
So now you can imagine our surprise to discover that Rachel Zoe has decamped to The Standard.

The Top Three New York Fashion Week Hotels
New York City better get down on its knees and thank the hospitality gods for its good fortune this season. Although it's been a year full of recession talk and an accompanying slide in room occupancy, the first cool breezes of autumn are blowing in the city's favor, with both Fashion Week and the US Open rallying for the city's tourism industry.
Over at our brother site, Jaunted, we've already rounded up the Top Three Hot Spots To Avoid During Fashion Week, and the movers and shakers of the international fashion industry have to sleep somewhere in between runway shows and parties. Thus, we'll let you in on the Top Three Hotels For Fashion Week:

W Hotels Launches 'Glam' Clothing and Jewelry Line
We've always been pretty intrigued by the non-hotel related items sold in the W Hotels online store, from nerdy flash drives to ugly dolls to pricey sex toys and even cute dresses. But W is getting even more fashion forward.
The brand has just announced a new apparel and accessories collection with pieces by 34 new and known designers such as Foley + Corin, Lauren Merkin and Wink. Called Global Gam, the collection will be sold in W stores and prices will range from $50 to $500.
"W is a design-led brand, therefore fashion is a tool to engage our guests in design. The people we're after are trendsetters and fashion-forward. We have a passion for fashion," said Eva Ziegler, global brand leader of W...."The idea was to create items inspired by five new W properties in downtown Manhattan; South Beach in Miami, Santiago, Chile, Hong Kong, and Istanbul."

Scandal! It's Not Just Guests Getting Naked At The Standard
It's hard to believe that it's already been almost nine months since we slept at The Standard NYC, and in that time the hotel has gone from being a respite of fresh design and cool canoodling to a scenester playpen with free peepshows.
Alas, the drama continues over The Standard's very clear wall of windows and the flagrant guest nudity they reveal to the High Line pedestrians below. In fact, the daily x-rated displays are quite the hot topic in town, and leave it to the NY Post to get to the bottom of it.
