Subscribers to Paltrow's weekly guide to detoxes and cleansing lifestyle newsletter found out when a guide to Lisbon hit their Inboxes on Thursday. As you might expect, the hotels which received the G.P. Stamp of Approval are grand in stature, with the requisite clean living retreat included in the roundup.

Best Celeb Performance of 2011: Ashton Kutcher Wrecks His Marriage at the Hard Rock
It's what you've been waiting all year for--The 2011 HotelChatter Awards! We'll be bringing you the best and worst of the year all day today and part of tomorrow. Agree or disagree with our picks? Air your thoughts in the comments below.
In a way, it was over before it even began. Celebrity power couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were suddenly thrown into the center of a media whirlwind when it was discovered that Ashton had shacked up with a girl at the Hard Rock San Diego—and what's worse, her "friend" was actually wiling to corroborate the entire story. Ruh roh.
After the story was leaked by this gossip blog, all sorts of details were swirling around—the confiscated cellphones, the "gaggle" of girls, the pre-sex "waiting room" (we picture them all lined up like Gaga fans at a CD signing)—but this email set the record straight. And then we found out exactly how long 'hard rock'-ing lasted. Because we were all dying to know...

Next Time You're Looking For Peace and Quiet, Try Not To Check Into the Same Hotel As Woody Allen
If being woken up at midnight by a screeching clarinet isn't your cup of tea, then you might want to avoid staying in the same hotel as Woody Allen. The famous director—and part-time jazz musician—opened up to the LA Times in a recent interview about his unconventional clarinet practice routines.
When Woody isn't commandeering whole churches in Europe, or having his driver find a secluded street where he can then lock the doors and play undisturbed, he often relies on midnight practice sessions right in his hotel room. And when you're Woody Allen flying all over the world to shoot movies and attend premieres, finding time (and space) to practice can be difficult. Interestingly, Woody's never really considered himself that great of a musician. Which does wonders for his ego. But maybe isn't so great for his next-door hotel room neighbors...

The Only One Sharing A Hotel Bed With Kobe Bryant Is His Dog
The big news this weekend was the death of North Korea's "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il. But in Kobe Bryant's world, another catastrophe was unfolding: namely, the fact that he never signed a prenup with his wife Vanessa before ending their ten-year marriage. Yikes.
Now that word is out, and the divorce papers are on their way, Kobe has chosen to forfeit his multi-million dollar Newport Coast mansion and hole out in a nearby hotel for the time being. And so far, the only guest he's entertained since checking in has been his pooch.
According to TerezOwens (basically a Perez site for sports fans), Kobe was spotted "staying in the South Villa of a resort in Newport with his dog." With any luck, the hotel might even consider employing the furry critter until the two of them get back on their paws feet.

Why We (and Celebs) Like Lagoon Suites vs. Beach Suites
Last year, we named the Ocean View Suites at Rosewood Mayakoba one of HotelChatter's 10 Sexiest Hotel Rooms Alive! This is a fact.
However, after returning to the property this fall, we were introduced to a new breed of sexy hotel suite: the Lagoon Suite.
At first, we were all like, "why would we wanna stay here, where we might see a crocodile swimming below our bedroom floor?" Then we had the pleasure of bunking down in a lagoon suite for a few nights and voila! We were converted. And now we know why so many of the celebs who stay at this ritzy Riviera Maya retreat also opt for the lagoon over the ocean view suites. (Said celebs may or may not include: Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp, U2, TomKat and Suri, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.)
Scroll down for a few more reasons to love the lagoon...

Kristen Wiig Got Lucky In A Booth At The W
With all this talk of the holidays, it's easy to forget hotels are good for something other than just pretty lights, cakes and Christmas trees: random hook-ups! And no one, not even a fully-fledged movie star like Kristen Wiig, is above a passionate night of making out in a hotel bar.
Photographers caught Wiig at the W Union Square earlier this week, during an album release party for the Black Keys, casually making out with Fabrizio Moretti, The Strokes' drummer. OK, well, maybe not that casually. According to sources at the event, the two were "literally on top of each other" in a booth in the hotel's new basement club, Lilium (more on that later).

Willow Smith Brightens Up The Mandarin Oriental
Anyone who happened to be shopping around Columbus Circle on Monday in NYC had a good chance of seeing pop singer Willow Smith. Several paps caught the young star stepping out of her hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, looking cool as ever. Despite rumors about her parents' split, Willow kept up appearances with some leopard print, turquoise fur, and awesome yellow highlights.
It just so happens that today is the debut of Willow's new music video, a collaboration with Nicki Minaj—which might explain her extreme fashion choices. Unlike Nicki, however, Willow has yet to be booted from a hotel. She's only eleven, after all. So many years of celebrity hotel trashing ahead of her!

Kim Kardashian Wants to Open a Hotel for Gorgeous People
Brace yourselves, the day's hotel news just got a lot more depressing. WSJ is reporting on a statement made by Kim Kardashian about opening her own branded hotel in the United Arab Emirates. In her words: "everything I think will be successful here."
Hmm, a self-obsessed reality TV star with delusions of starting her own hotel? Haven't we heard this one before? Also, Kim you might want to stop copying the Hilton sisters at some point.
Kim is currently touring the country solo, and was apparently so swept away by all the beautiful women there that she took to Twitter to make her feelings known. So, she's got millions of dollars, has already visited a few of the world's glitziest hotels, and has a thing for beautiful women? Judging from what we know of other well-known lady-loving hoteliers, Kim certainly seems to fit all the criteria. All we ask is that she lays off the houndstooth. That's not so much to ask, is it?

Inside a Regular Room and All Around Liverpool's Beatles-Theme Hard Day's Night Hotel
Chances are, if you're heading to Liverpool to take in the Beatles and pop music history of the city, the Hard Day's Night Hotel is on your list of must-sleeps or at least must-sees. You almost can't avoid it, since the hotel sits at the entrance to the famous "Cavern Quarter," down which alley-like street you'll find the various underground music clubs that nurtured the young Beatles, The Who, and basically name any famous British musician from the 1950s through 1970s.
We've already given you a full look around the hotel's Paul McCartney suite and a peek at room service, but downstairs there's so much more going on. The HDN isn't just a hotel with a slight glaze of Beatles theme; the fab four are baked into the place, with priceless artwork at every turn and design flair that keeps it far away from looking anything like a Hilton or Marriott.

Inside the Paul McCartney Suite at Liverpool's Hard Day's Night Hotel
It's a music fan's dream to make The Beatles pilgrimage to the English town of Liverpool, and experience not only the famous Cavern Club (where the Fab Four played some 292 times!), but The Beatles Story exhibit and maybe...just maybe...the entire Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel.
The Hard Day's Night, or HDN as we'll call it for short, is an extremely new hotel for the area—opened in 2008—situated in a striking historical building with a serious presence in the Cavern district. Every bit of the hotel is named for something Beatles-related; there's Blake's Restaurant (for Sir Peter Blake, illustrator of the Sergeant Pepper album cover), Bar Four (for the Fab Four themselves), and the Paul McCartney Suite. This weekend, we stepped into the latter for a look around and emerged with an old fashioned case of Beatlesmania.

Check Out All The Celebs We Saw At Hotel On Rivington
OK, so maybe celebrities weren't physically at THOR, but thanks to a photo installation by EJ Camp, you feel like you're dining with them inside the hotel's restaurant Co-Op. The skylit dining room, which contains a 30 foot communal dining table (all the cool kids sit there—which means not us), has 40 iconic New Yorkers plastered across one of its walls in life-size polaroid prints.
Tired of waiting for your food? Have a staring contest with Moby. Getting antsy while the check takes forever to come? Bask in Betsey Johnson's dazzling smile.
One of the celebrities featured on the wall is Sex And The City costume designer Patricia Field. We found her expression a little smug, but we weren't at all surprised to see her there. Co-Op is a branch of the Guerilla Culinary Brigade, which was co-founded by gastronomic event ringmaster Alan Phillips. And if you remember, Phillips was also responsible for the pop-up dinner party we attended at the Sanctuary Hotel back in March. Where we ran into Patricia Field. See how it all comes together?

Again, Paris? Down and Out Socialite Still Clings to Hotelier Dream
Paris Hilton's had a rough month. Her latest reality show on Oxygen has tanked and her relationship with former Vegas nightclub man, Cy Waits, has ended. But while America continues to lose interest in the blonde socialite, Paris still has big dreams of expanding her branded empire which already includes hair extensions, shoes and perfumes.
Yes, once again, that includes creating her own line of hotels. We've been here before folks. First with Nicky O Hotels from Paris' sister, Nicky and last year when Paris said, "And right now that I've done everything I’ve wanted to do, that would definitely be the next step, to open my own hotels.”
This year, Paris is adding beach clubs into the mix, telling Parade.com:
The next step for me is to be more involved with real estate. I'd love to open my own hotel and beach clubs. I'm actually in the process right now of doing that, so I'm excited."
