Tweet us on Twitter y'all. HotelChatter has a Twitter account and we've been regularly posting updates to it, like where we've been and what we've seen in the hotel world. We're also following our favorite hotels and travel blogs, like our baby brother Jaunted, who left this cryptic message the other day:
a margaroo, fake cheese and chips at the hotel manager's reception. height of luxury?
Don't worry, we'll be sure to track down that hotel's details but we have a feeling the hotel he is talking about is two words and has the initials E.S.
If you are into Twitter, which is habit-forming and addictive, start following us and we'll follow you back.
HotelChatter is looking to hire some shiny new international bloggers. There is pay, maybe not enough to gas up your F-150, but you can fill a hybrid tank with the pay without a problem.
Furthermore, your name and byline will be featured in pretty, bold, HTML, for all the world to see, you will be a blogging star, and who knows, you might even end up going on some sort of travel boondoggle -- oh, now we have your attention don't we?
HotelChatter was featured on the Today Show's cheapskate travel segment this morning. Travel & Leisure features editor, Nilou Motamed, expertly walked Matt Lauer through some of the web's best stops for planning vacations.
Nilou told Matt about HotelChatter and specifically our section where we obsess over new hotels. So if you are looking for deals, info and dirt on new hotels, or if you are looking to leave a comment or ask a question on a new hotel -- check our our Hotel Openings section.
To become a HotelChatter member and participate in the conversation, just go here, or you can sign up for our newsletter, of course both are free.
There's a lot that goes on at HotelChatter aside from what we put up on the front door.
Each week we round-up some of the most memorable comments for the week as well as the Suite and Hostel stories but there's even more. Take a look.
· Flickr Pool: People drop in their snaps from recent hotel stays. Here's an update on Cooper Square Hotel's Construction from Jebb. · Hotel Pages: Every hotel we write about has its own page where you can see more stories on the hotel as well as check prices, look at its map location and peruse some photos. Some top pages for this week? Sin City's Palazzo, DeNiro's Greenwich Hotel and the Spitz Tryst site, Renaissance Mayflower. · Reader Deals: Every Thursday we scour the best hotel deals out there for ya. Subscribe to the RSS Feed here. · Hotel Video Tours: Check out our entire virtual library here. · Jaunted Field Trips: Two travelers over at our brother site Jaunted are exploring Ecuador and Antartica this week.
As most people who suffer from technophilia know, a lot can change in a year. In the year that we released our first Best Geek Hotels List, the iPhone beat out every other cellphone on the market, the MacAir usurped the MacBook and saved shoulders worldwide, Guitar Hero and Rock Band raged, and Facebook surpassed MySpace, at least in our group of friends.
While most hotels are still rather slow to adopt technology -- hello, working free WiFi please?-- we did find a new crop of geek hotels that were worthy of superlatives. Some of these hotels have been geeking it out for a while and some are still in beta. But much of the source code remains the same:
Being geek is a cultural endeavour, so after searching every henhouse, outhouse, and boathouse around the world we have put together our list of the world's top geek hotels for 2008. From artificial intelligence, to high end gadgetry, to geek service, and geek movie worship, the hotels on this list have a certain je ne sais quoi de geek.
We'd like to leave you on this four-day holiday weekend letting you know what we are so thankful for this year. Of course, we are happy Six Columbus finally opened and the W Hotels have started to implement a better WiFi service. And who doesn't love the Babes of Borgata calendar?
But more than that, we are thankful for the excellent guides that HotelChatter and Jaunted have been able to compile for cities and hotels around the world.
HotelChatter is looking to hire bloggers. Now that is not a sentence you read every day. There is pay, enough to buy you a flight from Greensboro to "Skybus New York" without a problem.
Furthermore, your name and byline will be featured in pretty, bold, HTML, for all the world to see, you will be a blogging star, and who knows, you might even end up going on some sort of travel boondoggle -- oh, now we have your attention don't we?
