If you feel the same way too, then consider entering this Hotel Indigo's 30-Day Free Room Giveaway.

Design Hotels and The Auteurs Bring The Cinematheque To Hotel Guests
Just like a great film, hotels can create another world that guests escape to during their stay. Watching a movie in-room is the perfect way to complete the experience. Though, personally, we prefer a selection more diverse than mindless blockbusters, or in a best case scenario, recent Oscar contenders. Don't call us snobby; we just have great taste.
The Auteurs, a place to discover and stream "visionary films" online, has come to the rescue of cinephiles and travelers alike by partnering with Design Hotels for a project they've dubbed Hotel Cinematheque. Ooh la silver screen.

Have You Ever Won a Free Hotel Stay on Twitter?
it's too bad that Twitter doesn't have any sound effects, because for many, it would be the cha-ching of a cash register. For individuals and companies alike, social media is the new hotspot for contests and giveaways which, in the past, belonged in supermarkets with pads of entry sheets, or with mail-in postcards after watching a TV commercial about a sweepstakes.
As one-on-one (or millions-on-millions) as Twitter is, it is an extremely easy way for hotels to attract new guests, flatter loyal ones, and generally get their name out there with the messages they approve.
Thus it comes as no surprise that hotel Twitter contests have risen in popularity over the last few months, as they dredge about for new followers and engage people to keep their brand in mind.

Who's Got the Golden Ticket ... Er, Key ... For the Palace Hotel in San Fran?
Located somewhere in the Bay Area? Keep your eyes peeled for flying room keys. A Golden Room Key, to be precise. If this specimen (possibly still tied to a festive bunch of balloons) whacks you in the head or plops onto your car's windscreen, it's your lucky day. You'll get to play Charlie—only instead of a visit to a chocolate factory with a bunch of obnoxious kids you'll get three nights at the fancy Palace Hotel in San Francisco.
The Golden Ticket ... er, Key, is part of the hotel's 100th Birthday Celebrations, and was released into the overcast sky above San Francisco yesterday, inside a helium-filled yellow balloon. Whoever finds the balloon containing the key will win a three-day stay in the hotel's Presidential Suite. History Buffs may remember this as the room where President Warren G. Harding died in 1923. but as long as you're not easily spooked this shouldn't keep you from enjoying the opulence of 2-bedroom, 2-bath suite with its own grand piano.

Calling All Oenophiles: The Westlake Village Inn Wants You to Name Their Vineyard
Restaurant herb gardens seem to be the newest de rigueur kitchen accessory these days. Every chef in Los Angeles seems to be trying out his or her green thumb, including Alberto Vazquez, the chef at the Westlake Village Inn’s restaurant, Mediterraneo, who just planted a new herb garden at the resort.
However, you don’t find too many restaurants (or hotels for that matter) that have their very own vineyard. Starting what will perhaps be the next trend in hotel restaurant farming, the Westlake Village Inn has just planted a new vineyard in one corner of its property, and is hosting a contest for guests to “Name the Vineyard” from now until December 31.

Hotel Monaco Seattle is Hosting 'Twilight' Look-a-Like Contest
We live in the Pacific Northwest, so we can say in complete confidence that Edward and Bella mania is at full-tilt levels of bat sh*t crazy. You can buy a replica of the heart-shaped crystal charm Edward gives to Bella, dine on mushroom ravioli at Bella Italia and even visit the Forks Community Hospital where Dr. Cullen works.
We’ve even heard that some hotels in Port Angeles, Forks and La Push on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (the center of "Twilight" activity) are whoring out rundown motel rooms at $150 and up – because they can take the tourism bucks and run.
We love these coastal towns for a daytrip or an afternoon of waves, but they’re kinda depressing. Then again, that's absolutely perfect for a vampire series.

How To Get Roosevelt-Era Rates at NYC's Roosevelt Hotel
It wasn’t all that long ago that we were telling you about the New York Roosevelt Hotel’s penchant for Twitter contests—and whaddyaknow? They’re at it again. This time the historic hotel goes back to the Web 2.0 future to celebrate Teddy Roosevelt’s birthday, which, as history nerds know, is tomorrow, October 27.
The contest begins at 2:00 p.m. EST tomorrow, when the Roosevelt will post a trivia question about the nation’s 26th president on their Twitter page. The first five respondents to tweet the right answer will receive a special rate at the hotel of $18.58 (the year Roosevelt was born). Then, at 2:30 p.m., there’ll be another trivia question to ponder—with the first five people answering correctly snagging a room rate of $26.00 (in honor of Teddy being the 26th president).
