The Obamas Really Love the Hay-Adams

Where: 800 16th Street [map], Washington, DC, United States, 20006

The Obama family really does love the Hay-Adams Hotel. Not only did the first fam spend the weeks leading up to Barack's inauguration occupying the Presidential Suite at the iconic old-school luxe D.C. hotel, but now Michelle Obama has shown the hotel the ultimate love: the opportunity to be forever immortalized with her on the cover of Vogue.

According to People, the new first lady was photographed by famed portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz recently, and the portrait — which shows Mrs. Obama leaning on the arm of a beige Hay-Adams couch — appears on the cover of Vogue's March issue. While almost every first lady has appeared in the mag, only Hillary Clinton was ever featured on the cover before Michelle.

Naturally, we got to thinking: if we were being photographed for a Vogue cover (by Annie L., no less), which hotel would we want to serve as the backdrop for our portrait? A super cool and sleek design hotel? Or more of an older classic like the Hay Adams?

Eh, we might as well go with the Hay-Adams — especially if we knew Vogue was picking up the tab. Rates for standard rooms start at around $395.00 these days, but going rate for a one-bedroom suite (which we'd probably request because a suite would have a variety of furniture upon which to artfully arrange ourselves) is up around a staggering $3,200 a night.

The Standard Miami Gets in on the Hotel Fashion Game with Sexy Photoshoot

Where: 40 Island Ave [map], Miami Beach, FL, United States, 33139

Surely not to be outdone by the Raleigh Hotel which is hosting Miami's Swimwear Fashion Week, The Standard Miami was the setting for a W Magazine photo shoot entitled "Summer Camp" by Bruce Weber featuring hot designers and models like Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy and Lara Stone.

The Standard website is even promoting the photo shoot where the girls roll around on Standard beds, lounge on a stack of pool chairs, parade around half-naked near a massage table, and other very interesting poses.

Let's just say there's a lot of (artistic) boobies and butt...you know, just your average summer camp experience.
