Huffington Post "Oasis" to Be Found at Denver's Brown Palace Hotel

The Democratic National Convention is taking place next week and hotels are all atwitter for the incoming business. They are making Obama cocktails, dressing up their dogs and handing out wooden electronic key cards.

Now comes word that the Brown's Palace Hotel will be the site of Huffington Post luncheon. According to WWD:

For Denver, the left wing Huffington Post is doing a lunch at the Brown Palace Hotel on Aug. 26, and it will also have a "Huffington Post Oasis" nearby, with yoga, massage and aromatherapy for the weary delegates.

If that's not enough for the "weary delegates", the hotel's spa already boasts the "healing powers of natural artesian waters that have flowed beneath the hotel since before the Brown was established in 1892."

Meanwhile, the HuffPo just wrote a recent post about all the other parties going on during the political conventions. But you know they really want you to show up to their lunch.

HuffPo Blogger's Wet and Wild Adventure at Avenue Hotel Chicago

Where: 160 E Huron St. [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60611

We love us some hotel hell stories on Monday mornings -- if only because they serve to remind us that there are worse things in the world than facing the end of a weekend.

For example: HuffPo blogger Michelle Renee's little adventure at The Avenue Hotel in Chicago recently.

Formerly the Radisson, the property was recently reflagged as The Avenue, remodeled completely and decorated with a 'lil bit of zebra print. Michelle loved the stunning views from her room and really dug the beds -- but there was some trouble.

First, she heard "what sounded like a helicopter hovering outside her room" and had to invest in earplugs because she couldn't bear to part with the city view and swithch rooms. The staff, interestingly, did not seem to know the cause of the noise.

Armed with earplugs, the fun continued!
