JDV Hotels Say, 'C'mon, Give Us a Smile,' With Third Night Free Promo

Where: CA, United States

JDV's Hotel Erwin on Venice Beach

Hotels these days seem to be enthusiastic about "Third Night Free" promotions, and we're not complaining. In addition to last week's reportage on the Rosewood Mayakobá's customer-friendly offer, our latest helping of happiness comes from the news that the Joie de Vivre group's "Joy of Vivre" campaign includes a free third night with promotion code "JOIE" when you book in advance. The deal is good for JDV's 35 properties through June 15th of next year, and as a head's up, you'll have to make the reservation by May 31, 2010.

After what has been an inarguably difficult year for many, and with possible S.A.D. looming around the corner with the onset of grey weather (even in normally sunny California), the Vivre campaign is meant to inject a little more lightheartedness into the public's general attitude. They're well aware that the best way to extract said joy is to offer guests extras and the promise of prize winnings, which is how they're encouraging prospective customers to "explore living joyfully, happily, and exuberantly." This would border on being annoyingly twee if there weren't concrete bonuses to be had, which there are.

Score Tory Burch Outfits to Wear on Your One&Only Palmilla Vacay

Where: Km. 7.5, San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, 23400

When Stella went to go get her groove back, she jetted to a luxe-ish resort and dressed herself in cute linen-y, breezy outfits to look the part of upscale vacationer without a care in the world, looking gorgeous effortlessly. And while Stella went to go grab her lost groove in Montego Bay, we'd be down for hitting up a resort in North America — and One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos appeals to the Stella in us.

Here's why: 'cause we could win ourselves a Tory Burch wardrobe to wear while we're down there. Oh, and we can win a trip down there for free along with the Tory duds.

The deal: Every day, the resort is giving away a Tory Burch Summer Essential Kit with a beach towel, a cosmetics bag, a tote bag and flip flops; you can enter to win one of them every day until July 15th. You can enter that little giveaway here.

And when you enter to win the kit, you're automatically entered to win the Grand Prize: a $1200 Tory Burch Shopping Spree (which, let's be real, will probably only stretch as far as 2 or 3 outfits) and a Four-Night stay at the One&Only Palmilla — which includes roundtrip airfare for two, dinner for two at hotel's new Market by Jean-Georges and two massages during your stay.

Or you could just take the trip and gift the wardrobe money to us. We could use some new pairs of ballet flats and some breezy tunics.

Drink Enough at Landmark Mandarin Oriental and Kelly Clarkson Will Appear

Where: 15 Queen's Road Central, The Landmark, Central, Hong Kong

We have long believed that Kelly Clarkson songs can serve as the soundtracks to all stages of any romantic relationship. You start with "Miss Independent," and then you meet someone and suddenly you've got "A Moment Like This." Then you've hit the "My Life Would Suck Without You" stage, and maybe soon you're into "Breakaway" territory (or even "Walk Away") — and then comes "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and maybe "Never Again" and, of course, "Since U Been Gone."

If you're in one of those phases where you're into those last three songs, maybe you're — oh, we don't know... drinking the pain away or partying to celebrate your new single status? And here's something kinda awesome: if you drink enough at Hong Kong's Landmark Mandarin Oriental — that is, you spend HKD 5,000 (or $645ish USD) — Kelly Clarkson will appear, and not just due to boozey hallicunations. You'll actually score tix to an intimate Kelly Clarkson acoustic concert, which are not on sale to the public. Sweet.
