Live Out Your National Geographic Dreams at the Loews Madison
We’ll admit, we’ve always been suckers for a good pile of in-room magazines. But the Loews Madison in DC is offering something even better — the chance to step into, literally, one of everyone’s favorite magazines, National Geographic. To coincide with the National Geographic Museum’s upcoming exhibit, “Terra Cotta Warriors,” the Loews Madison is celebrating its close proximity — two blocks away — with a package deal.
The “National Geographic Museum Terra Cotta Warriors” package features two premium “anytime” tickets to the museum exhibition, overnight “deluxe” accommodations, and a 20-percent discount at the NatGeo store.
The exhibit runs Nov. 19 through March 31, showcasing 15 terra cotta warriors and other artifacts from the tomb of China’s first emperor, from stone armor and weapons to coins and bronze vessels.
Package rates start at $149 and is available throughout the exhibition run.

Let Rufus Dine Like a King at Loews This Holiday Season
If you have a wayward Westie or a stinky spaniel who doesn’t quite pass muster at Mom and Pop’s for the big Thanksgiving holiday, don’t panic. You don’t have to put Rufus in a kennel—you could bring him along and stay with him at a Loews Hotel. (You might enjoy the personal space, too.)
One of the pet-friendliest chains in the country, Loews already offers a generous welcome kit for pets. But if you check in between now and January 10, 2010, your pet will also be treated to the “Houndly Holidays” package (Yes, we know, even though Loews loves cats, too, the dogs get all the attention and all the cutesy promo tags.)

Gondolas Rides Don't Usually Come with Couples Massages, Do They?
Excuse me, Mr. Gondolier Man. Keep your eyes on the water!
We swoon at the idea of taking a gondola ride with our honey and we're big fans of massages (who isn't?), but we're not so sure about combining the two. The Loews Coronado's latest romantic rudbown deal may have missed the boat. The hotel offers couples' massages on 33-foot gondolas while cruising down the waterways of the Coronado Cays.
As part of the Voga Voyage package, you'll hop on an authentic Venetian gondola—though, the two massage beds aren't so authentically Venetian—and depart from the resort’s private marina. You lovebirds get a sunscreen application, since the sun can be especially harsh while out on the water, and a 40-minute massage. Afterward, if you aren't seasick, you'll sip Champagne and nibble on strawberries for the final 10 minutes of the cruise/spa treatment.

Montreal's Hotel Vogue Will Pack a French Picnic For You
Oh, Montréal, ever the cultured temptress: Culture hounds forgoing their Parisian jaunts this summer can get their French art fix in our northernly neighbor. To help them out, Loews Hôtel Vogue is offering a package called “Culture and Nature à la Montréal Style,” which helps guests “experience the beauty of Montreal both indoors and outside.”
In other words, that means overnight lodgings, two museum passes to the renowned Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and an oh-so-French picnic lunch for two packed in a keepsake backpack. (Think sandwiches, baguette with local cheeses, mixed salad, pita chips, fresh fruit, cookies, and bottle water.)

The Loews Coronado is Now Employing a Berry Butler
We’ve heard of room valets and private butler service at fancy resorts, but this is the first time we’ve heard of a Berry Butler. That is just the position that was created to celebrate “National Berry Month” in July, however, when the Loews Coronado teamed up with Driscoll’s Berries.
Every Friday and Saturday until August 1, the Berry Butler will be at the hotel greeting guests with fresh berries, teaching kids to make fresh smoothies, hosting berry tastings with Loews’ executive chef, Marc Ehrler, and conducting adult cocktail (and kids’ mocktail) classes with the hotel’s mixology team.

The Red-Headed Stepchild at The Loews New Orleans
We've kicked off our Summer Cocktails series where we profile fun new summer drinks that hotels are making. Got one we should know about? Send us the recipe with a photo of the drink. Otherwise, enjoy and @reply us when you're wasted!
We heart the Big Easy. Big time. Rock ‘n’ Bowl at Mid City Lanes, music at Donna’s Bar and Grill and famous drinking establishments with storied pasts make us swoon, but it’s the unforgettable meals we’ve had that makes New Orleans one of our all-time favorite dining destinations.
Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of dining at the Bar Chef Table at Café Adelaide & The Swizzle Stick Bar in Loews New Orleans Hotel with the grande dames of the Big Easy – cousins and co-authors, Ti Adelaide Martin and Lally Brennan.
To say it was a mere meal would be a huge understatement – it was a multi-hour, paired cocktail and culinary adventure woven with colorful stories and true Southern hospitality. Reigning over our escapades was Bar Chef Lu Brow and Executive Chef Chris Lusk, a creative tag team of taste that will make your mouth very, very happy.

Loews Miami Beach Teams Up With Pottery Barn Teen
Okay. We'll admit it. We sort of secretly love PBTeen even though we're not teens anymore and have no excuse to decorate our living spaces in hot pinks or with monogrammed rainbow throw pillows or shelving units shaped like school lockers. But we love it — and we hope it is still around when we have teenagers of our own with rooms that we can decorate all cute and fun and teen-y.
Loews Hotels apparently loves PBTeen, too (sidenote: do any teens love PBTeen? We hope so) — so much so that the hotel chain has formed a bit of a partnership with the furniture and decor line. Loews Miami Beach, a hotel geared toward families has gotten a taste of PBTeen's style in utilizing PBTeen furniture and accessories to create "an abundance of additional options for tweens and teens to enjoy during their stay."
What that actually means: they've converted one of the hotel's cabanas into a "teen dream oasis" and have totally PBTeened it out.

Loews Offers Fast-Track to Gold Loyalty Status
Where: United States
You might say we can be a little, well, impatient. So, naturally, we love when places do what they can to lessen waiting times. Think Disney’s FastPass, hotel check-in kiosks on that rare occasion they actually work, and now, a new fast-track incentive from Loews Hotels.
Guests who stay during a weekday at any Loews Hotels by August 30 can join the YouFirst loyalty program and enjoy a fast-track to Gold membership status. Gold members receive 500 American Express Membership Rewards bonus points, free in-room Internet, fitness center access, late check-out, and room upgrades (based on availability).
Typically, guests become Gold members after five to nine stays, so this offer is pretty sweet. To take advantage of the summer special, mention the “Taking Care of Business Promotion” when booking. For a full listing of the Loews Hotels click here and search under "Destinations."

Sustainable Serenity at Loews Santa Monica
Everywhere you look these days, the environment is taking center stage…that is, when the economy isn’t distracting everyone. Spas might just be the perfect nexus for the two topics of debate as more and more of these havens of luxury pampering are becoming increasingly conscious of their environmental impact.
Representing a sign of the times, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel is re-opening its 7,000-square-foot Ocean Spa & Fitness center with a renewed dedication to using environmentally friendly architecture, products and treatments.

'Celebrity Apprentice' Contestants Attempt to Run Loews Regency
Oh dear. We certainly hope you spent your Sunday evening watching the contestants of this season's Celebrity Apprentice as they attempted to run a few rooms at the Loews Regency Hotel. Because, um, you know how we said reality shows about hotels don't work? We take it back: hotel TV shows most definitely work when you throw Joan Rivers and Dennis Rodman into the mix.
If you didn't catch the episode, no worries: we've got a rundown of what, um, went down when Loews' head honcho Jonathan Tisch challenged the remaining 12 contestants (separated into male and female teams) to step in to take over the management of several rooms (per team) at his NYC hotel.

Loews Santa Monica Won't Make You Check Out til Sunset
We understand late check-out situations. We understand that when we call the front desk at 11:30 and beg for a late check-out, the front desker may be unsympathetic — they've gotta get us out so they can clean the room to check the next people in. We understand. Really.
Which is why we're not entirely sure how exactly it is feasible for Loews Santa Monica to offer this: if you book the Double Your Sunset package, you score yourself a 6:00 p.m. check out. Yes, 6 pm. Seriously. Again, we don't know how they're able to do this — what time does everyone else check in? (Note: the website says 4 pm, so, which tells us that you should really not show up expecting to check-in early).
The Double Your Sunset includes a one-night stay in a deluxe room, a 6 p.m. check out time and a $75 credit to use at the hotel's just-renovated Ocean Spa & Fitness (ah! You have some time to spend it and somewhere to use that resort cred!)
The package is available April 1 to Dec. 1, with rates starting at $359 per night (standard rooms without the package start at $319). Book here.

Loews Uses Liquor to Get Us Turned On for the Great Turn-Off
As you probably know by now, on March 28 at 8:30pm, people across the world will be shutting off their lights to promote their support of taking action against global warming. Loews Hotels will be participating, and they want you in on the action:
All 17 Loews Hotels properties will power down select lights, equipment and machinery for one hour in honor of "Earth Hour." In celebration, Loews Hotels is inviting guests and locals to the hotels' bars and restaurants to try a Green Gin & Tonic specialty cocktail and a menu of sustainably grown wines. All proceeds from cocktail sales will be donated to Loews Hotels' charity partner, the Modest Needs foundation.
Yes, your eyes went straight to that cocktail, didn't it? Here's what's in it: lime juice, basil leaves, Mighty Green Leaf tea, Botanical Hendrick's Gin and a bit of tonic.
Check out the deets on Earth Hour here.
