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.

One of London's ongoing summer events, a Rooftop Film Club hosted at a popular Hoxton bar, inspired something of a cult-like fervor among local film buffs. Piggybacking on Londoners' love of all things cinema and all things, uh, rooftop, is the Berkeley hotel, who is transplanting the concept from East to West and taking full advantage of their posh terrace climes (not to mention outdoor lamp heaters).

Another Williamsburg Hotel Shows Up To The Party

Where: Wythe Ave at N 11th St [map], Brooklyn, NY, United States, 11211

Brownstoner is reporting on the projected May opening of another new boutique hotel in Williamsburg—literally just a block and a half from Hotel Williamsburg. The newcomer will likely be called The Wythe, and rooms will go for around $200 a night. So, not to jump the gun here, but let's just get things straight: it hasn't even finished construction yet and already it's got better rates and a more original name?

They're making it too easy to pick sides!

But we're not gonna hold our breath. After waiting an entire summer (and then some) for their sleek, pool-equipped neighbor to get the motor running, we're not so quick to get our hearts broken again. At least not until getting a good, long look at the finished place.

Hotel Rooftops and Terraces To Enjoy in New York Before It Gets Cold

September 26, 2011 at 9:15 AM | by | Comment (1)

As unhappy as we are to admit it, summer is over and the warm weather is quickly receding. And to think, we only made it to the beach once this entire summer! But nevermind. While New York temperatures are still lingering in the high 70s, we thought we could all benefit from one last hurrah of outdoor hotel spaces. From outdoor movies to pizza ovens, we found something for everyone on this list.

Next time you find yourself on Fifth Avenue and 55th St with nothing to do, book yourself a 75-minute spa treatment at the Peninsula New York. The session will automatically grant you access to the hotel's Sun Terrace, which we were lucky enough to visit two weeks ago. If we had to pick our favorite spot, it would probably be the wicker chairs around the coffee table. Who said magazine browsing and sunbathing can't happen at once?

Well, that's a relief! It seems we're not the only ones who get excited about hotel toys. After waiting eagerly for some like-minded souvenir hoarder's response—photos, url links, tips, anything!—our patient geekery was rewarded yesterday when we received this photo from reader Pam.

Hotel toys can come in all forms. From Japanese miniature plastic food sets to sex toys to vending machine goodies, there truly is something for everyone out there.

Softcore Porn Proves A Hit At The Standard NYC

It was quite a lively scene on Wednesday night when we visited the Standard New York to check out graffiti artist André Saravia's short film, The Shoe. A little perspective for you: Saraiva wrote the script on a whim after sharing a productive plane ride with Purple Magazine editor Oliver Zahm, who already had roots at the Standard via last September's well-attended Purple Magazine fashion week party. Sure enough, the word for Wednesday evening's event was spread. And the ensuing twenty-minute film proved, once again, the hotel's insatiable appetite for all things sexy.

The third-floor, 1440 square foot, wood-paneled Highline Room was so packed that surplus audience members had to plop down on the floor in between the already-filled chairs. Posters (see above) were on display by the elevators, but didn't explain much. To say the least, we were curious what all the fuss was about. A quick sum up: a leather-jacketed, slick-haired, cigarette-smoking male goes through the course of his day in Paris—wake up, pick up girls, have sex in their apartments, steal their boyfriend's shoes, get beaten up, take his revenge, go back to sleep. You know, the usual.

Shake Your Booty On Top Of The Roosevelt Hotel

The Roosevelt Hotel wants to do more than just get you drunk—they want you to get drunk and take dance lessons. At the bar. On the roof. To promote their summer movie series, which kicked off last week with a screening of Top Gun, the hotel bar is experimenting with new ways to give audiences the full movie experience. Mad46, where the movie nights are presented, is amping up the evenings with themed drinks, giveaways, trivia contests, and other prizes. Guests last week went home with free aviator sunglasses!

For next Monday's screening of Dirty Dancing, a hired dance instructor from Dance Manhattan will be rallying the crowds for two rounds of mambo lessons. The first class takes place at 8pm, followed by another at 8:30pm. The themed drink of the evening is a tequila mojito ($10), though their full menu of beer, cocktails, and wine is also available. We want to know: how qualified is this dance instructor at teaching a bar full of drunk people?

The Sunday Night Film Club has been up and running at The Crosby Street Hotel for awhile now, and as luck would have it, Halloween falls on a Sunday this year. You know what that means: a nightmare on Crosby Street!

The Film Club's selection for next Sunday, October 31 is Saw 3D: The Final Chapter--and apparently the accompany dinner or bar plate offering will have a "Halloween twist."

Park Plaza Hotel Guests Love Pizza And The Shawshank Redemption

What do you like to watch when kicking back in your hotel room? For us, football and ESPN tops the list but according to stats, the guests of Park Plaza Hotels love to order The Shawshank Redemption on demand, and enjoy the prison drama with a slice of pizza and a can of Red Bull.

Or, as the Ottawa Citizen put it: "Forget about what you see in the movies. The average hotel guest does not order Champagne and eggs Benedict while watching the latest big-budget epic by James Cameron."

Sid. Nancy. Janis. Ethan. We all know the vaunted history of the Hotel Chelsea by now, right? Well, in case you somehow managed to get through the past few decades without hearing all about the boozy, bloody past of this landmark on 23rd Street, along comes yet another movie set at the hotel to enlighten you. Unlike Ethan Hawke’s Chelsea Walls, Abel Ferrara’s Chelsea on the Rocks is a documentary—kind of.
