Could London Hotels Suffer a Post-Olympics 'Hangover?'
2012 will be a huge year for London in more ways than one. With the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and a certain international sports event set to descend upon the city, Londontown will see a massive influx of tourists. Hotel rooms are rapidly being snapped up by intelligent travelers, and profit projections for city lodgings remain promisingly high.
But what will become of the city after the torch has been extinguished and tinsel and confetti from the Queen's celebration swept away? According to a recent report by local commuter publication of choice, the London Evening Standard, a dark cloud may descend over the city come 2013.

Omni Dallas: It's Definitely Opening, And It's Definitely Got An Infinity Pool
Omni Dallas, which is set to open on 11/11/11, will include an infinity pool
Whoever said 11/11/11 would mark a pivotal world-changing event must have been cc'd on development memos issued from Omni Hotels' corporate office. That is to say, Omni's latest creation, Omni Dallas, a 1,001-room convention hotel on South Lamar St, will be opening on the portentous date—and with $111 rates, no less.
As part of the "Definitely Dallas" package (this name is putting dirty thoughts into our head), guests who book rooms through December 30, 2011 will receive $111 deluxe guest rooms. Inside the rooms, you'll find a 111-inch flat-screen TV; and on top of the beds, you'll rest your head on 111 pillows. And in the bathroom....OK, we're just kidding. In fact, the bathrooms do come with mirror TVs (which we remain undecided over), and the rooms all feature pieces by local artists.

As If We Needed to Tell You: Book Your 2012 Olympics Hotel NOW
It doesn't look like much now, but the Olympics Stadium site in Stratford, London will transform East London…and cause hotel rates to skyrocket
File this story under "O" for "obviously": per a recent report from Travelio.net, those trekking to London for next summer's Olympic games should aim to book their hotel rooms, like, now.
A Hotels.com review of how sporting events effect accommodation prices revealed that, in the case of the recent Rugby World Cup, room rates rose around 29% in Wellington and 11% in Auckland. Over the summer, the Wimbledon tennis tournament saw London rates jump 3% with the city at full occupancy during this time. With the world's biggest sports happening soon coming to Londontown, travelers are being told to expect prices reaching "you've got to be kidding me" heights—up to 50% more than the average in some cases.

The Top Three NYC Hotels for Watching the World Cup
You can't deny the appeal of The Standard's Biergarten
The 2010 World Cup has barely even begun and already we've watched the games from the comforts of our home, a friend's house and onboard an airplane. It's about time we moseyed over to a hotel bar for a beer and some rowdy cheering, don't you think? As a matter of fact, you should get out of the house too, and head to one of these Top 3 NYC Hotels for Watching the World Cup:
The Standard
Underneath the High Line in the Meatpacking District, The Standard boasts of its own fully-fledged biergarten, complete with be-dirndled beer wenches and specials on Euro brews. Plus, through June 25, they'll be showing those games on a big screen erected in the biergarten for the express purpose of becoming immersed in FIFA madness.

Six Suites At Marriott London Twickenham Will Put You Right In The Rugby Stadium
This could be your view, if you're a rugby fan who's staying at the Marriott London Twickenham and if you book one of the six suites that face directly down onto the rugby pitch at Twickenham's stadium. Marriott recently opened the rooms, which come complete with a private dining/seating area, separate bedroom, enviable views of the stadium, and access to a private seating area within Twickenham’s South Stand, as part of the stadium's development.
The rooms, each named after six Grand Slam-winning England captains, have nightly rates averaging $490, but just think of the savings and comfort you'll reap when you're not sitting in the general stands area, and you've got your friends over chipping in on the bill. There's even a cloakroom in the hotel suites, because they anticipate your hosting people for the games! They better make sure to stock the minibar well, though, and throw some fish and chips in the fryer before we walk in.

The Hotel Blake's Playbook Focuses on Attracting Super Sports Fans
As the home of the Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls, Chicago is a serious sports town. Hotel Blake wants to win over you visiting sports fans with game-related deals.
As part of the Get Your Game On package, you'll get 20 percent off the best available rate (we found a room with a king-sized bed for $139), two free drink vouchers at Custom House's Lounge for pre-gaming and a complimentary continental breakfast to soak up your hangover. The coolest package perks are the free poster board and markers, so you can make a sign to cheer on your team, and a free Chicago baseball cap. To be clear, it's not a Cubs cap, but a generic "Chicago sports" hat. But still, it's cool.

Inside BodyHoliday LeSPORT In St. Lucia, Post-Amy Winehouse
Where: Saint Lucia
We've spent a week teasing you with images of beaches and infinity pools on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, and so now let's round out the hotels with one that includes massages daily—BodyHoliday LeSPORT.
You may already know of this all-inclusive, adults-only resort from last winter's Amy Winehouse St. Lucia debacle, where she holed up on the island, crawled around on the floor, snatching guests' drinks, and generally wreaked havoc until Le SPORT gave her a talking to. We may have even been sleeping in the same bed as her, but shudder at the thought. LeSPORT is far too good for Le Winehouse.

Four Seasons Gridiron Getaway :: Because Only Half Of Us Are Totally Over Football
Over here at HC HQ, some of us are football fans. And -- suffice it to say -- some of us are really, really not. Consequently, the fans and the non-fans have resigned themselves to never talkin' sports with one another...and discussing some sort of a sports-themed jaunt to a hotel has always been out of the question.
Until now! Four Seasons has introduced the Gridiron Getaway Package, a surprisingly gender-neutral (yay! Thank you for not stereotyping!) that allows each of us to pick and choose the meaning of the package name. That is: one person may choose to go to a Four Seasons on a gridiron-themed getaway while the another goes to actually get away from the gridiron. Genius!
