Win Two Free Night Awards with Hyatt's Gold Passport Program

The Park Hyatt Chicago

UPDATE: Congrats to AGrater and JDGoalie30 who won this contest. Thanks to ALL OF YOU for participating and hopefully, we can do more of these contests for you soon.

This week we're sort of obsessing over Loyalty Programs. We've got tips from The Points Guy and we're keeping dibs on the newest promotions and changes. While we were bummed to hear that Hyatt's Gold Passport had upped their point requirements for free nights, we did find out that Gold Passport is still in the midst of their Big Welcome Back promotion.

Since we are in the midst of a loyalty program obsession, we decided what better time to offer HotelChatter's readers a chance to win two free Hyatt awards nights. Here's how:

HotelChatter Contest: Who Is Going To Nashville, With a Tan?

HotelChatter's Win a Trip to Nashville contest ended last last week and since then our panel of judges has been busy grading entries. Today we are happy to report that we have a winner. Twenty-nine year-old Mike Nielsen of Los Angeles, Calif. and a guest of his choosing will be jetting off to Nashville courtesy of Southwest Airlines and staying at the The Hotel Preston for two nights. Here is Mike's winning entry:

I think, especially if you're staying in Nashville, that a fun, simple room amenity would be an:

ACOUSTIC GUITAR

That would be so much fun! It seems to make sense, and would be very original and entertaining for guests!

Killer idea Mike. We are now working with Hotel Preston to figure out the best, most practical way for the hotel to execute this idea in one form or another. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, Mike and guest are off to Nashville. Huge thanks to Southwest and The Hotel Preston for helping us pull off this contest. And of course, thanks to all of you who entered your dream amenity suggestions. May hotels and hoteliers soon make your amenity dreams come true!

HotelChatter Contest: Win A Free Trip To Nashville, Y'all

Where: 733 Briley Parkway [map], Nashville, TN, United States, 37217

UPDATE 7.23.09: The contest is now closed. The winner has been announced on Monday July 27th here at HotelChatter.

Hotels have become quite clever these days with their in-room amenities. Like The Wit Hotel in Chicago with its cute wake-up calls or the complimentary laptops at The Lanesborough Hotel in London. We're also partial to the "donut soap" at The James and hotels that have Sony Readers or Kindles. And of course, sexy in-room amenities continue to be popular with hotel guests.

At The Hotel Preston in Nashville, amenities are a big part of the guest experience. A Spiritual Menu is offered to guests so they can choose how they want to say their nightly prayers. And just by pressing the hotel's "You want it, you got it" button on the room phone, a lava lamp, a gold fish, a good book, an art kit, a rubber duckie and even milk and cookies can be delivered to your room.

Now the hotel is seeking to add to their amenity list and they want YOU to come up with their next big amenity offering. What is your ultimate fantasy when it comes to hotel room amenities? For the first time ever, you can actually tell us what that fantasy is and by doing so, you'll be entered to win two free round trip tickets on Southwest to Nashville, plus two nights at The Hotel Preston!

We've Picked a Hotel in Paris!

Where: 3, rue Flatters, Paris, France, 75005

Thanks to all the commenters who dropped in their suggestions for Paris. In the end there was a three-way tie between the The Petit Moulin, Plaza Athenee and the write-in suggestion from PatrickSW, The Four Seasons George V.

So, here is how we operated the tie-breaker. The George V was about $1,200 a night. Last time we checked, our bank account barely held that much money in it and a large portion of it was already ear-marked for our expensive shoe habit.

But speaking of shoes, the Plaza Athenee offers a chocolate shoe if you book the Sex and The City package. Yay! However, our chocolate rush was over before it began as the Plaza Athenee has room rates topping out at $900 a night. There's just no way we could get that budget approved from our bosses. Believe us, we tried.

Pick a Hotel in Paris for HotelChatter

So we're headed off to the City of Light in a week and while we are fortunate to have an apartment of a family friend to crash at for most of our stay, we still want to check in on the Parisian Hotel Scene.

We've covered Paris extensively, thanks in part to Parisian correspondent Monica Guy, and going back through our stories, there are so many places that we want to stay at. And we're finding it difficult to make a decision. That's why we decided to leave it up to you. Yes, you! You should tell us where to stay.

Keep reading to find out more.
