Hotel Construction Zones Are The New Hot Party Venue, In NYC At Least
Apparently there are not enough event spaces or hip hotel bars in New York City to appease the fashion flock, since the biggest party in town (for the trend-ites, it seems), was held in the under-construction core of the NoMad Hotel. If you remember, we went to the big Interview Magazine party last year in the under-construction core of The Standard Hotel, probably with some of the same attendees who showed at the NoMad.
There is this old saying: "two's a coincidence and three's a trend." Well, we've got two down with these parties; what hotel skeleton will be the next to hold a fashion party, thereby elevating this to a trend? Will songs by "Men at Work" be played? Now let's talk about the Nomad...

'Tinkerbell' Tends the Garden at the Kona Kai Resort
Before we left on Friday to celebrate the Halloween weekend we Tweeted for hotel staffers working in Halloween costumes over the weekend to send us some pics. And we have to say, Tinkerbell at the Kona Kai Resort, a B&B in Key Largo, Florida is the best. Not only does she look cute, but she's actually still able to water the garden. Where form meet functionality.
Rates here start at $244 a night but they do not take online reservations. Go here for booking information. Thanks for sending this in, Tinks!
We're still accepting hotel Halloween costumes if you want to send 'em along. And don't forget to follow HotelChatter on Twitter!

A Director of Pet Relations Gets Put to 'Work' On Halloween
More Hotel Halloween Doggies! What more do you want on this Friday afternoon before Halloween? These awesome photos come to us from the Hotel Monaco Alexandria, which held its Howl-o-ween Costume Contest on Thursday. And just to show anyone worried about puppy labor laws that canine concierges do have a chance to clock off and get loose, here is the hotel’s Director of Pet Relations, bichon frise Charlie getting into the Halloween spirit. He’s dressed as chef Derek Simcik from the hotel’s restaurant Jackson 20—right down to the tattoos.
Then there was Scooby, decked out in Oktoberfest lederhosen, who took home the Top Dog award of the evening. (Kudos for hitting two October festive occasions in one, Scoobs!)

Cute Hotel Doggie Friday: Howl-o-ween Edition
Friday is now officially Cute Hotel Doggie Day here at HotelChatter, and in honor of Halloween, we felt it was our duty to bring you Dogs At Hotels in Halloween Costumes. It looks like quite a few properties have had Halloween parties for their four-legged guests this week, including Houston’s Hotel Derek.
Dog Days Out are a regular affair at the pet-friendly Hotel Derek, but this Wednesday was a special Howl-o-ween Spooktacular. As you can see from these photos, it wasn’t just the dogs who dressed up: owners were welcome to come in costume, too. (Which seems fair, considering how silly and perturbed some dogs look when they’re in costume.)

The Poconos' Skytop Lodge Invites Guests on a Ghost Hunt
Low-budget horror flick Paranormal Activity took first place at the box office this past weekend, raking in $22 million. Of course, that means Paramount execs are already talking about a sequel—and they’re not the only ones wanting to hitch a ride on the runaway ghost train. The Skytop Lodge in the Poconos is offering a Spoo-Tacular Paranormal Halloween package that includes tagging along on a ghost hunt.
A local ghost-hunting team, Pocono Paranormal Research, have been investigating the historic property’s Main Lodge and will host a Ghost Hunting 101 presentation and ghost hunt on-site tomorrow, October 30th. And on Saturday, the team will be hanging out to answer questions from ghost-loving and freaked-out guests. (If you’d rather scout out your paranormal properties before booking, the Pocono Paranormal Research folks are releasing their DVD, The Haunting at Skytop, this weekend. You can order a copy here.)

Rancho Bernardo Inn Celebrates Halloween with a Haunted House and S'Mores
If you're looking for some last-minute Halloween plans, San Diego's Rancho Bernardo Inn is throwing a spooky holiday bash—but not too spooky that it'll scare the kids away—complete with a haunted house, trick-or-treating and, of course, lots and lots of sugar.
The hotel's hosting its first Halloween at the Inn event on Oct. 30 and 31 with a Not-Too-Scary Haunted House ($9), which targets little ones who love the chills of Halloween but are easily rattled. Kids can dress up to enter a costume contest and to trick-or-treat on the hotel's property. They'll also have the chance to get their faces painted and do some pumpkin decorating.

Do The Monster Mash at These Halloween Hotel Bashes
Last week, we let you know of Five Hotels for a Halloween Weekend but there's actually a bunch of hotels you may want to hit up for their special Halloween festivities if you find yourself in town without a party to attend. Here are Five Halloween Hotel Bashes that you may want to just consider this weekend. We've also listed the room rates below the party hotels because the last thing you want to do is find a designated driver at 1am in the morning on Halloween. Talk about scary!
1. The Chelsea AC Hotel: New Yorkers and Philadelphians looking to get out of the city can make a quick jaunt to Atlantic City where The Chelsea is hosting their first massive Halloween party throughout all their bars and lounges, including a full haunted house designed by Blackbook mag's Steve Lewis in the hotel's C5 lounge. A costume contest will be held where the winner will get a grand prize worth up to $5,000. Victoria's Secrets models will also do double-duty Halloween night as Chelsea's Angels, the party's DJs. All tickets include a complimentary Halloween-tini with admission along with M&M’s, Sweet Tarts, Candy Corn, and Licorice. Tickets are $30, and doors open at 9pm.
Room rates start at $111 for The Annex and $147 for The Chelsea (the nicer building.)

In NYC for Halloween or The Marathon? There's a Hotel Package for That
Next weekend is a big weekend in New York. Not only is it Halloween but it's also The New York Marathon which will be held on Sunday, November 1st.

Celebrate Halloween Where 'Ghostbusters' Was Filmed
'Tis the season for a parade of hotel parties. Holiday dinners in the hundred dollar range are just around the corner, but it's Halloween that precedes the hanging of tinsel from marble-tiled lobbies. Most of the upcoming events we've heard of are the standard ballroom/costume/D.J. affairs that attract crowds of 20-somethings. Raucous fun, maybe, but they also tend to bring out scenesters in droves, which leaves those looking to celebrate over classy cocktails in a lurch.
Enter L.A.'s Millennium Biltmore, who is hosting an "All Hallow's Eve" party at their Gallery Bar on October 31st from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM, and forgoing "sexy nurse" overtures in favor of a vintage vibe. The Millennium may not have haunted hotel room lore like that of The Roosevelt, but it did serve as one of the filming locations for Ghostbusters, if that means anything to you.

Knock Back 'Day of The Dead' Cocktails At Velas Resorts
Where: Mexico
In continuing our Halloween Cocktails series, we bring you some Day of The Dead Cocktails from Mexico.
Remember over the summer when the Grand Velas Resort in Playa del Carmen introduced their margarita trolley and we nearly got drunk writing about it? Well, the resort's sister properties are also doing their best to get us buzzed.
In celebration of Mexico's Day of the Dead on November 1st and 2nd, The Grand Velas Riviera Maya is offering guests "The Cemetery" drink made with Vodka, Kahlua, Coca Cola and "Bloody Champagne," accompanied by strawberry and raspberry juices and served with dry ice for a "spookier feel." (Ed. note: can we get a contact high from this dry ice? Just curious is all.)
In Puerto Vallarta, the Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta Resorts are offering the "Red Devil" and the "Zombie" with a selection of rums and juices. Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit will be serving "The Skull" with Campari, Cider, lemon-lime soda, minced apples and walnuts and "The Blue Death" with Blue Curacao liqueur and Vodka.

The W New Orleans is Now Serving Witches Brew
We were quite sad when summer ended, for all the obvious reasons, but also because we missed featuring Summer Cocktails that were being mixed, shaken, stirred and poured in hotels around the world. Plus, we even got our hands on the recipes for these drinks allowing us to make some crazy concoctions at home.
While Starbucks might be serving pumpkin spice lattes, we think it's a little too early to start up our Holiday Cocktails coverage. But Halloween is just around the corner and we know of a few hotels that are choosing to celebrate our favorite holiday with a special drink, like The W New Orleans.
The Witches Brew is being served in the hotel's Whiskey Blue bar and the Living Room for $35. It's made with bacardi light, Meyers Rum, Bacardi 151, pineapple juice, orange juice, sour mix and grenadine and it's garnished with gummi worms and silly straws. We love it.
The full recipe is after the jump.
