Starwood Offers Up to 50% Off Regular Rates—But You Have to Book Soon
Put this on your weekend “to do” list: think about where you might like to spend the holidays or a winter getaway. If your answer is a Starwood property, and you’re ready to charge what will be a non-refundable rate now, you could save yourself some serious holiday cocktail cash. Until November 10—next Tuesday—you can score up to 50% off the regular rates at a slew of Starwood properties. And while there are blackout dates, there are still some hotels with availability for the holidays. Even better, when you use one of the Starwood property’s online booking pages for this promotion, it will tell you which holidays are still available under the deal at most hotels, as well as which dates are already sold out.
At the new W Boston, for example, the sale rate of $189 a night is still available for Thanksgiving (Nov 22-29), and between December 18–30. (New Year’s Eve is sold out). At Aloft Lexington, the rate is as cheap as $79 a night, and again, there’s availability for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

The Mandarin Oriental's 'Festive Breaks' May Not Be So Festive After All
When planning our next hotel stay, a night at a Mandarin Oriental Hotel is never even within our realm of possibilities as the luxury hotels are usually far out of our price range. But if we suddenly manage to receive a Christmas gift of cash in the next month or so, we could consider a night at MO, thanks to their new Festive Breaks offer.
From November 12 to December 30 guests who book two nights in a Mandarin Oriental will get a hotel credit of up to $100 per stay ($200 if you book a suite.) The credits cannot be used towards the room but you can use them at the spa or the hotel restaurants.
This sounds generous of Mandarin Oriental but it's actually quite frustrating.

Denver's Oxford Hotel Hosts December Tea For Dolls
It used to be that you go into an American Girl store (one of the few) and get afternoon tea in the store's little restaurant with your doll. We're pretty sure that doesn't exist anymore, so how about reliving those old glory days at Denver's Oxford Hotel, which hosts an annual "Doll's Tea Party" for moms and dads, daughters and their dolls.
This year's special day will be December 6, and we recommend making reservations soon. Of course the hotel is offering a hotel package for guests who may not live in Denver, or just want to prolong the experience as a family event. The combination with a night at the hotel begins at only $200 and includes one adult and one child's ticket to the tea, stay in a superior room, and milk and cookies delivered at turn-down.

Merry Christmas, It's a Trump Gift Card!
While it's a little too early for us to be writing about holiday gifts here at HotelChatter, we did think it was funny that Trump Hotels are now promoting gift certificates for their properties.
The certificates start at $50 and go up to $5,000 and they are only good for one property. So there's no hopping from New York to Vegas, unless you gift your special someone with two gift certificates.
Since we're not so keen on the Trump Las Vegas, we say you might be best either at the Trump Chicago, which just opened last year or bide your time for Trump Soho, opening February 1st. (Trump Waikiki is not available for a gift card just yet.)

Let Rufus Dine Like a King at Loews This Holiday Season
If you have a wayward Westie or a stinky spaniel who doesn’t quite pass muster at Mom and Pop’s for the big Thanksgiving holiday, don’t panic. You don’t have to put Rufus in a kennel—you could bring him along and stay with him at a Loews Hotel. (You might enjoy the personal space, too.)
One of the pet-friendliest chains in the country, Loews already offers a generous welcome kit for pets. But if you check in between now and January 10, 2010, your pet will also be treated to the “Houndly Holidays” package (Yes, we know, even though Loews loves cats, too, the dogs get all the attention and all the cutesy promo tags.)

The Fairmont Southampton Offering $149 Rates (But Only For 1 Week)
If you're missing your Bermuda shorts now that Fall has arrived and want to take them out for a whirl in the real Bermuda, the Fairmont Southampton is offering rates of $149 per night but only for seven days so get booking.
The offer includes a guestroom, complimentary breakfast, unlimited golf for two at the hotel's own golf course, as well as some resort activities over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
The sale begins today at noon (now) and lasts until 11:59pm on October 13. The hotel stay must take place between November 1 and April 16, 2010. The $149 rate does not include taxes, gratuities or resort fees which are a little overboard here.
There's a $10.20 gratuity per person per night and a $9.65 per person resort "levy." Add in taxes and the room is nearly $200 a night. Also that rate is good for a "Moderate Room" category with "no view" as the room description kindly points out. Deluxe Harbour view rooms start at $199 a night.
To book, use the code PTLZ (It's also a Travelzoo special deal.)

The Radisson Edwardians, Not Santa, Will Save You 25 Percent Off
Yes, we know that summer only just ended this week but what can we say? We're in a holiday mood.
Christmas in London: it’ll probably be a wet one, rather than a white one, but it’s a pretty good time to hit town, seeing as half its residents up sticks to the country for a (wet and not white but rural) festive bash.
The hotels will be pretty empty too – which is presumably why Radisson Edwardian are offering 25% off their 11 hotels in London, plus their one up north in Manchester.
The Pay, Save and Stay promotion will knock 25% off the best available rate, any day of the week, and throw in two-for-one dining at the hotel restaurants as well. That means rooms in London are starting at £74 ($124).

The Hyatt at Fisherman’s Wharf Has Put Together a High Holy Days Package
Did you plan a weekend getaway to San Francisco without consulting your calendar, only to realize that you’re going to be in the city by the bay on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year? No need to repent your poor planning now that the newly renovated Hyatt at Fisherman’s Wharf is offering a High Holy Days promotional package for observant Jews who will be away from home during the holidays.

For One Million Dollars, Rent Out The Hard Rock San Diego for One Night
Remember how we mentioned that the Chatwal hotel would have rooms that cost "$1,000,000 a night?" Of course, that was probably a "lost in translation" or currency conversion snafu but now we've got word that the Hard Rock San Diego will actually be available for $1,000,000 for one night this holiday season. And the hotel is positioning it as the "Ultimate High Roller Holiday Gift."
Ok. Before we start in on this whole she-bang, let us at least tell you what you--the payer of a million dollars to a hotel--will get:
· Private jet transport for 10 VIPS from a "select" destination in the United States to San Diego with limos to the Hard Rock Hotel.
· Rooms for 420 of your closest friends and their plus 1s. Yes, the entire hotel is yours for the night (As it should be!)
· All-day private access to the rooftop pool including bottle service, daybed seating and cabanas.
· Spa Treatments at the Rock Spa. Pretty much anything you want.
· Unlimited Pinkberry at the shop located downstairs.
· Open Bar at the 207 bar.
· Private Dining at the Nobu sushi restaurant downstairs which will close to the public and serve its Omakase menu (chef's choice.)
· VIP Bash at the Float Lounge and Woodstock at 10pm. Open bar, food and a celebrity DJ.
· Morning After breakfast at Maryjane's coffee shop.
· A professional photographer to document every moment of this insanity.

The Ahwahnee Announces Line-Up For Its 2009 Vintners' Holidays
A few winters ago, we got to go wine and dine during The Ahwahnee’s Chefs’ Holidays. We’d lived in California for nearly a decade and had never made it to Yosemite National Park. Although food and wine is a major motivator to get us to any destination, the prospect of experiencing one of the country’s greatest parks sans the thongs of summer tourists sounded way appealing. It was and now, we’re convinced that Yosemite National Park may be one of the best all-season, outdoor destinations in California.
So, we’re pretty psyched that The Ahwahnee just announced its 2009 season lineup for its Vintners’ Holiday (the wine-centric version of the Chefs’ Holiday) and we’re scheming ways to get in on the grape-fueled action.

Free Passover Brunch at The Catalina is Hard to Pass Up
Why is this night different from all other nights? Well, for one thing, Passover begins! We've already outlined the best hotels for Easter weekend, but for all of us celebrating Passover, there are plenty of hotels offering holiday goodies.
The Catalina Hotel in South Beach is welcoming the Passover season with free matzo-ful brunches and kicked-back rates: Starting today (April 8th) and lasting through April 16th, the hotel will be serving kosher brunches to all hotel guests fo' free in the hotel's Zen Garden room from 9 a.m. to noon. On the menu: matzo omelets, latkes with maple syrup, a chocolate spread with matzo, and other Passover-friendly goodies. And! all guests will also get complimentary Manischewitz wine during the hotel's daily happy hour.
Rates at the hotel ain't so bad, either: we found a room for Sunday night for $112. But if you're a non-hotel guest, you can still swing by for brunch at a totally reasonable $11 per person.

W Fort Lauderdale Already Strutting Its Stuff in a Parade
A wonderful tipster who we hope gots lots of presents from Santy Claus sent us this YouTube video link of the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade which took place in Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 13th. And the W Fort Lauderdale made an appearance! From our tipster:
Every year in Fort Lauderdale, they hold the Winterfest Boat Parade, and the last boat is always the Santa barge sponsored by a different local company. This year the new W Fort Lauderdale sponsored it, and basically made a huge floating nightclub out of it. The thing was massive and impressive, and was awesome for a temporary barge.
Watch Santa Claus get down on the boat with his sexy helpers. And is that the W Living Room Soundtrack that we hear?
