Um...The Beverly Hills Hotel Might Have Something to Say About This T-Shirt
The other day we spotted this t-shirt inside the men's department at Bloomingdale's and did a serious double-take. The Altru clothing brand has totally lifted the logo for the famous Beverly Hills Hotel as seen on its exterior.
Initially we for sure thought the hotel would be upset about this but the Altru Apparel website does have licenses for its other t-shirt imagery. So perhaps BHH is down with it after all?
Yet if you want the real thing, the hotel's online shop sells a black and pink version for ladies for $80. Men can snap up a pink polo shirt with the logo in the left corner for $71.

Hotels Are Not on the Drawing Board for Marc Jacobs
Back in January, we asked a simple question: "Will Marc Jacobs be the next fashion designer to do a hotel?" Today, we have the answer, thanks to a chat with Robert Duffy, President of Marc Jacobs International and a longtime friend of the Marc. We were covering the opening of the new Bookmarc store for Racked NY, but we couldn't resist asking Duffy about the possibilities of a Hotel MJ.
Although you can buy "Hotel Marc Jacobs" keychains at a few of the designer's Bleecker Street boutiques in New York, Robert Duffy assured us that a hotel is not in the works. They have been approached by many chains to do projects like what Missoni or Versace have done with the Hotel Missoni and Palazzo Versace hotel chains, but MJ just isn't biting.
The closest to a Marc Jacobs Hotel you'll find for now is the newly opened Marc Jacobs Collection boutique in the base of Chicago's Elysian Hotel.

Emanuel Ungaro Takes a Chance on The Plaza Hotel
The retail shops within The Plaza Hotel have somewhat been considered a failure but the hotel is not giving up on the basement space just yet.
The Todd English food hall is expected to open sometime this spring and two new stores have just announced they will be opening up shop very soon. The fashion house of Emanuel Ungaro, which recently closed its shop on Madison Avenue (pictured), will reopen inside The Plaza on April 25th followed by artisanal stationer, Connor Papers, on May 1.
Considering that a bakery moved out earlier this year citing the presence of "unknown retailers", we do hope these new tenants will give The Plaza shops some life. And we hope Ungaro is not carrying any of those disastrous Lindsay Lohan designs. Nipple pasties do not fit in at the Palm Court!

Indulge Your Lederhosen Fantasies With The Standard's Biergarten Shirt
The winter weather might be keeping The Standard New York's Biergarten restaurant shuttered 'til springier temperatures, but that doesn't mean the faux Oktoberfest frivolity has to stop. To make sure you are always properly dressed for slamming steins, The Standard has rolled out T-shirt versions of the traditional German dirndl and lederhosen outfits.
You can get them for $35 each in The Standard's online store, keeping company with such personal favorites as The Standard's grey flip flops and their $425 bed coverlet.
The men's version, after the jump.

Ace Hotel's Hipster 'Stop and Shop' to Open in February
It looks like the Ace Hotel New York might just have it all--funky rooms with Smeg refrigerators, a perfect digital nomad lobby, the popular Breslin restaurant, a Stumptown coffee shop and now, according to Racked, some serious retail offerings.
[A]vant-garde Chinatown boutique Project No. 8...will occupy 750 square feet on 29th Street, while Opening Ceremony plans to take 1,500 square feet on your Broadway side. Both stores are slated to open in February.
For those of you in need of a Hipster Fashion lesson, Opening Ceremony is a boutique retailer that features the wares of hand-picked designers who may not be sold in Neiman Marcus and Saks but rest assured, are THE things to wear. Also, randomly, Opening Ceremony has its own line with Chloe Sevigny. Learn more about OC here.
While we are very tickled to be able to peruse the wares of Opening Ceremony on our next visit to the Ace, we're not so sure our wallet will be as happy. So we still may have to schlep it up to Macys in Herald Square. Sigh.

Will Marc Jacobs Be The Next Fashion Designer To Do a Hotel?
It's the new year already, and we're anxious to sink out teeth into some fresh news about upcoming hotels. So we began to immediately drool over the possibility of Marc Jacobs being the next fashion designer to do a hotel when we spotted these keychains. Think about it—all the hot designers are doing it—Armani, Missoni, Bulgari..even Tcherassi in Colombia. So is Marc next, considering his love of New York's Mercer Hotel?
Sadly the answer for now is no. The keychains above are simply the newest cheap offering at Marc Jacobs boutiques; accessories for $15, but unfortunately they won't open any hotel doors. The bottom one looks least logo-heavy, so if you're on the look out for some late Christmas stocking stuffers, that might be best bet.
Still, we can't help but wonder if these keychains are Marc's way of testing the waters. Would people stay in a Marc Jacobs-designed hotel, or at least a suite? In a millisecond! So we're keeping our fingers crossed that 2010 will bring even more designer hotel announcements...

Buy Everything But The Bed (But Try The Bed) At The Alluvian
We’re always suckers for hotel tat – whether it’s nicking a pen and notebook from the room, buying branded crockery or saving up for one of those Kimpton animal print bathrobes.
So imagine our excitement when we popped in to see the posh Alluvian hotel in Greenwood, Mississippi and found that, as well as the beds in the rooms (which we couldn’t hunker down on, what with not being hotel guests), there’s a bedroom for visitors to try out in the hotel shop across the road.

Stay Three Nights at the Westin Riverfront, Get a 'Free' Heavenly Bed
You know how sometimes a milestone birthday can turn into a birthday week, or even a whole month of birthday revelry? You know the drill: There’s the coworker lunch, and the happy hour with friends, and the special dinner date, and then the blowout party, and, well, any excuse to party, right?
Westin’s Heavenly Bed turned 10 this year, and we’d have to say it’s celebrating in style. There was the Greatest Birthday Cake Ever, and the stay-10-nights-in-Beijing-get-a-“free”-bed promo. And now, Beaver Creek’s new Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa is offering a similar, slightly cheaper deal.

Westin Has Sold 30,000 'Heavenly Beds' and We Want a Shower Head
So tell us have you ever really, really really ever loved a shower head? Bryan Adams-style? With all the thought put into the design and furnishings of a hotel, it isn't particularly surprising that guests would want to take a bit of it home with them — and these days we don't mean stealing the bidet towels.
Thanks to the LA Times' look at hotel brands with their own gift shops, we've now got an idea of the great number of guests tempted to do things like hijack a bike from the Shutters On the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica.
