A Look at The Kimpton Surfcomber's Beefed Up Decor and Pool Scene
How did you go with our last Guess The Hotel game? Did you identify the home of those cow statues by the pool as The Surfcomber? If not, you're dead wrong!
We took a peek at the new Kimpton-on-the-beach the other day, and found a spacious lobby with lots of designy quirks and an awesome pool deck with cabanas a-go-go and plenty of space to stretch out on regular ol' daybeds and outdoor beanbags in the sand, too.
According to a Kimpton press release,
Surfcomber’s new design-driven spaces marry the eclectic style of European Bohemia with a down home American front porch appeal. The design creates an inviting and comfortable atmosphere, with elements of surprise throughout. Combined with Kimpton’s warm and welcoming service, the hotel offers guests a retro, breezy atmosphere and a distinctive South Beach experience that is as cool as it is friendly, and as sexy as it is fun.

Guess The Hotel With the Cows Peering Into the Pool
Yes, we know. Our last Guess The Hotel was a pool as well. But when we saw these cow statues peering down into the water as we strolled by this hotel pool, we couldn't resist putting you to the test yet again.
To help you figure out the home of these curious bovine, here are some clues.
· This hotel was recently renovated and reopened under a new brand umbrella.
· It's located in a sunny spot where you will rarely need an umbrella.
· The new brand home of this hotel likes pets, wine and free WiFi if you join their loyalty program.
· This is now the second hotel from said brand in this particular city--although the other one is not (ahem) by the beach like this one.

Luxury Collection Premiers Final Cut Inside The Producer's Suite
It's Guess the Hotel revealed!
Were you able to figure anything out from the video we posted on Friday? Two people called out The Chatwal, which was correct! We were there last week, in the Producer's Suite on the tenth floor, to watch a new promotional video by Luxury Collection called HERE.
If you're at all restless like us, you might wind up booking an impromptu trip to Vermont, Scottsdale and/or Hawaii after you watch it. The 15-minute film is set at Equinox Resort & Spa, The Phoenician and The Royal Hawaiian, Waikiki successively, and each hotel comes off looking more idyllic than the next.

Guess the Hotel with the Apple Store Staircase
It's time to Guess The Hotel!
We visited a hotel recently for an event that required the use of a suite. If we name the event—or, for that matter, the suite—it could give the whole thing away. But we do have a video that shows what happens when you get to the top of these stairs. At which point, you'll get a few more visual clues. But before that, here are some other tidbits:
· Anyone looking for a caffeine fix should stop by the lobby of this hotel.
· 1920s-themed design is a trademark here.

Peeping In On The Conrad Hong Kong
Yes, Jetsetcd, it was indeed the heated outdoor swimming pool at The Conrad that we spied on last month during our trip to Hong Kong.
The hotel is attached to Pacific Place, one of many luxury shopping malls in the city. It's also across the way (via an indoor walkway) from the Island Shangri-La Hotel, another traditional luxury hotel.
Since rooms go for about $573 a night here, we made do with peeping in on some of the other parts of the hotel. Sadly, we didn't get inside a room but you can always study those here.

Guess the Hotel Pool That We Spied On in Hong Kong
We love hotels, this much is true. But we don't often have the fat wallet required to stay at a hotel every night of our lives. So we make do by spying on hotels.
Ok, maybe we aren't strolling through the lobbies in inconspicuous clothing with fedoras pulled down low but we are often peeping in on places that we don't have access to and taking a quick snapshot. Like this hotel pool scene in Hong Kong. Now let's put your hotel knowledge to use!
· The hotel is surrounded by other equally luxe hotels in the city's business district.
· The hotel is also attached to a luxury shopping mall, which is quite a common occurrence in Hong Kong.
· While the hotel costs about $573 a night, the rooms and public spaces are still very traditional. Not quite old but they definitely have a more "classic" feel to them.
· The pool has actually been undergoing some maintenance and will reopen on Monday.
Think you know what hotel we were peeping on? Put your guesses in comments below and we'll reveal the spot on Monday!

Guess the Hotel With Butterflies In the Club Lounge
We feel like we've found a worthy challenge for this newest round of Guess the Hotel. Yes, framed butterflies are easy to spot, but they're not exactly the most common piece of hotel decor. We will say up front: this shot was not taken in a guest room, but in the Club Lounge of a newly-renovated hotel.
Oops! We've said too much. Let's just go right into the rest of the hints:
· As we just mentioned, the entire hotel was recently renovated, including rooms, lobby, restaurant—and the Club Lounge, where these beautiful (dead) insects can be found.
· The hotel is located near an Apple store. Quick! Get googling!
· Located off the lobby, the hotel's restaurant was built so that it 'hangs' over the sidewalk below. Which is a pretty busy sidewalk, we might add. Pretty handy if you want to eat and people-watch at the same time!

A Few of Our Favorite Things at East, a 'Business Hotel with a Life'
We got a chance to tour the East Hotel in Hong Kong in the city's Taikoo Shing district which bills itself as a "business hotel with a life" and while the hanging chairs in the suites definitely topped our list of Things We Liked, there's so much more to explore.
Our contributing editor, JetsetCD, did a thorough review of the hotel last year so be sure to read her play-by-play of an overnight stay if you're interested in booking a room here. But for now, allow us to pull out a few of our favorite things about East:

The Water Bottle Water Fountain isn't The Only Green Thing at the Shore Hotel
Two of you hotel experts were stumped but Dbenaderet was absolutely correct in guessing the hotel with the water bottle water fountain was the new Shore Hotel in Santa Monica.
After touring the hotel the other day, we're not so sure we've ever seen a more stylish yet totally green hotel from the construction of the building to the materials in the rooms down to the recycling bins under the desk. The hotel even employs its own Green Concierge. And below is the shot of the hotel's fitness center where we found the water bottle water fountain and which has a floor made from recycled rubber and tires.

It's another game of Guess the Hotel! Except this time we're going green. The rules are the same as ever--we give you some hints, you drop your guesses in comments below and we'll reveal the hotel in a few days! On your mark, get set, go!
· This hotel features a water bottle water fountain in its fitness room which allows you to refill up your water bottle without the hassle of bending it sideways and only being able to fill it up halfway. You can also use it as a regular water fountain too.
· The floor of the fitness center is made out of recycled tire and rubber, just one of the MANY green features and practices of the hotel.
· The place has killer ocean views.

It Was at Aloft Excel in London Where They Were 'Fighting' with Photoshop
Well, clearly our Guess the Hotel was not as difficult as we thought! Within a matter of hours not one but three people guessed it right: we were at the opening party of Aloft London ExCel where folks were doing a live-art battle with photoshop.
Having started to welcome guests on October 31st, Aloft offers 252 rooms in the Royal Victoria Docks, a hop and a skip from London City Airport. As we mentioned, this is the second Aloft in Europe, following Aloft Brussels Schumann in Belgium, and the first in the United Kingdom. The hotel is connected to the ExCel International Exhibition and Convention Center; the easiest way to get to London is to jump on the DLR (overground) and change to the Jubilee (tube) line at Canning Town station.
