Wondering Where We Wandered?
It is time once again to Guess the Hotel. Where did we wake up? Well, here's a clue. See the magic eye-like photo we posted above? That is actually a view into the newest type of peekaboo bathrooms which are on display at this very hotel. Not sure what magic eye photos are? Then you must not have lived through the 90s.
Instead of the "full sight" open bathrooms which briefly dominated the hotel scene for earlier this decade, this hotel decided to attempt Peekaboo Bathrooms 2.0. What is the difference? There is a one way mirror in the bathroom where the person outside the bathroom can look in while the person inside the bathroom just sees their own reflection. Furthermore, the toilet is in its own separate room and the shower is behind a glass door, thus neither is out in the open like commonly occurred in peekaboo 1.0.
Still wondering where we woke up? Well, we suggest re-reading this post and applying the same theory one would use when staring at a magic eye picture. Focus on one point and the picture will reveal itself. Or rather the hotel bathroom. Think you've figured it out? Put your guesses in comments below.

Where is Finn Hudson Staying in New York?
Can anyone guess the hotel where Finn Hudson aka Corey Monteith from Glee was Twitpic-ing from recently during the GLEE press trip through NYC. He writes:
sitting on the roof of my hotel in NYC... Love this city...
It looks like Midtown to us but he just tweeted that he was at Columbus Circle. Could he be at Six Columbus or are they staying at the Empire Hotel? Either way, your guesses have to be a hotel with a rooftop. Corey also mentioned that he went running through Central Park so it has to be a hotel close to there as well. And no, we have no idea which hotel it is. Put Your Guesses in Comments Below.

Guess the Hotel Revealed: Jade Mountain In St. Lucia
Yesterday we tempted you with a stack of infinity pools so delicious yet so mysterious, since it starred as a "Guess the Hotel." Well, the tropical paradise resort is none other than Travel + Leisure's Best Caribbean Resort 2009, Jade Mountain on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. We stopped by for a tour of the famous property, where The Girls Next Door's Kendra Wilkinson spent her honeymoon and where many rich and famous hide away when they need an exotic break.
Run by the same couple who own the beloved Anse Chastanet Resort further down the hill, Jade Mountain is one of those rare properties where it is damn near impossible to take a bad picture; the rooms all claim unparalleled views of St. Lucia's Piton mountains, they all have infinity pools, and the entire compound is focused on the indigenous, organic and natural charm of the island.

Inside the W South Beach (Finally!)
Last week we got to check out the home of that lush garden patio, the W South Beach (which one commenter guessed correctly), and we’ve gotta say: now we’ve seen it, the breathless hype makes a little more sense. (But the rates? Hmm, not quite.)
The hotel is just like its location: beautiful and showy; laidback by day, and a total scene by night. Summer is meant to be low season in Miami, but not at a just-opened hotel like the W. The place was jumping by 7:30 pm on a Friday night—the Bentleys parked outside were only the first sign.

Inside The Hard Rock's New Paradise Tower
We knew that yesterday's Guess the Hotel wouldn't be too difficult and we're happy to see that you all managed to guess correctly---The Paradise Tower at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
We braved the hotel's new tower the day after the festivities of the raunchy pool party, Rehab, had ended, thus on a Monday. We managed to snag a room here for $99 a night which we booked on the hotel's website. However, there is a $7.00 resort fee which as far as we can tell does not include anything worthy although we'd like to think that it's for extensive pool clean-up.
We also got upgraded at check-in to a corner room, meaning we have views of the back of the Hard Rock (some construction and partial shots of the pool) and full-frontal views of the Strip. Hello, Planet Hollywood!* And we have to say the room decor, mostly black and grey with "rock star" touches, is probably the coolest in all of Vegas.
However, all is not well with this new side of the Hard Rock.

Inside The Hotel Maya, The Hotel With the Bright Yellow Chairs
Well yesterday's Guess The Hotel wasn't too hard for you people as indeed the hotel with the bright yellow chairs is the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, Calif.
We hit up the hotel on Sunday during the first day of brunch service by the hotel's indoor/outdoor resetaurant, Fuego, which serves coastal Mexican cuisine. The views, especially on clear sunny day, are awesome.
You can see the docked Queen Mary cruise ship off to the right as well as any other cruise ships docking in Long Beach for the night. You can see downtown Long Beach across the bay, including the city's aquarium and right in front of you are sailboats galore. Even the city's Aquabus makes a stop here. If you're really lucky, you might spot a seal or two.

Inside The Hotel Indigo San Diego, Home of The Prettiest Business Center
We may not have given you enough time to guess the hotel this morning but one of you managed to guess correctly. It's The Hotel Indigo in San Diego.
This was our very first time inside a Hotel Indigo and we loved what we experienced. The hotel's lobby is bright and airy, and the rooms look more like a comfortable and happy guest room in a friend's house (a friend who has an exceptional knack for interior decor) rather than just another one of a couple hundred hotel rooms.
Staying true to the Hotel Indigo's commitment to nature (hence the Fibonacci sequence found throughout the hotel's design and the Phi ratio which is also represented throughout), this LEED-certified hotel has a 12th-floor rooftop garden, as well as an herb garden on the 9th floor that is actually used for the meals served at the hotel.
But what we really loved about the hotel — and no, it's not Dieter from Laguna Beach who oversees the front desk — were the great views of home plate at Petco Park from the hotel's 9th floor rooftop bar.
We'll have the full review for you tomorrow; until then, enjoy this video we shot on an iPhone — a first for HotelChatter Video Tours!
