The Complete List of What the Morgans Hotel Group Global Card Gets You
The other week we noted that the exclusive Morgans Hotels Global Club Card had gotten a makeover and today, we learn a little bit more about the design, as well as who is privileged enough to get one:
Featuring a fresh design by illustrator-designer Jo Ratcliffe, the new card conveys the playfulness for which Morgans Hotel Group is renowned. Ratcliffe, who has a knack for speaking volumes with streamlined pieces, thoughtfully created not only the card itself but the packaging as well. This striking piece and its new privileges are being offered to select tastemakers from a carefully collated list.
Thanks to a reader, we have a more clearer shot of what the card looks like in person. Still, no word on what you have to do to be a select "tastemaker." We're guessing you have to stay A LOT of nights at Morgans Hotels.
Below, you can find the full perks of the card.

Where To Go For One Last Rub-Down Before Miami Spa Month Ends
If you haven't taken advantage of Miami Spa Month yet, it's time to think scrubs and rubs. The two-month long promotion offering spa treatments for just 99 bucks ends next Tuesday, August 31—so it's time to hit the phones.
One of our favorite parts of Miami Spa Month is the fact that the best spas in South Beach and downtown are usually located inside hotels, giving us an excuse to scope out the lobby and pool scene, and maybe even drop by a bar or restaurant for a Miami Spice meal.
We'd be happy getting buffed and polished at most of the participating hotel spas but our pick for a last-minute spa splurge is the Spa at The Shore Club, and here's why...

Morgans Hotels Give Their Global Club Card a New Look
Remember back in June when we were positively obsessed with Morgans Hotels and their Global Club Card? First, we were obsessed with finding out what they offered and then we were obsessed with finding out what they looked like, even asking you readers to submit your own wishful thinking photoshop creations.
Finally a reader sent us a photo of the club card and it was way cooler than what we imagined--although we wish members of this ultra-exclusive club could have the option to personalize their card with a photo of their fave Morgans Hotel.
Either way, perhaps our renewed interest in the card sparked the folks at Morgans to mix up the card's look. A tipster has sent us a photo of the card's brand-new design.

Rockin' Out With The Summer Issue Of HRH Magazine
This week we're taking a look at a dying hotel amenity--The Hotel Magazine. Sure, most hotels stock their guestrooms with the trendy magazines of the day or at least place some localized publication on the desks but there are actually a few hotels out there that still publish their own magazine. We've got our hands on a few copies of these rare breeds and we'll be documenting our finds for you here. Know of a hotel magazine we should see before it goes out of print? Send it to us!
It almost doesn't seem fair to compare HRH, the magazine for the Hard Rock Las Vegas, to the other Hotel Magazines we've been reading lately. If they're all dolled up in Chanel and Rolex watches, this baby is wearing leather pants and heapings of black eyeliner. Yes, not surprisingly, HRH is more Rolling Stone than Town & Country. And? We dig.
There are rockers on the cover (Them Crooked Vultures) and rockers in the ads (ZZ Top—in John Varvatos!). There's even a Stevie Ray Vaughn quote kicking off the President's Letter, penned by Fred J. Kleisner ...

Mondrian New York Delays Opening To 2011
Putting aside our excitement over the 6 Sexy Hotels opening in NYC this summer, we now have some more sobering news about one of the planned fall openings in the city: the Mondrian New York has been pushed back to 2011.
We learned of the opening delay via a press release about Morgans Hotel Group securing additional funding for the development of the hotel.

Book Now at a Morgans Hotel and Get Free WiFi During Your Stay
We've long had a sad face over the lack of complimentary wireless internet at Morgans Hotel Group and their typically too-high internet fees but there is a way to get around that this summer.
If you sign up with Morgans to create an account on their website and customize your profile, (i.e. include information that helps Morgans better understand their clientele), you can get free WiFi throughout your next stay.
You have to book your Morgans Hotel stay between July 1 and August 31 but other than that, the WiFi is totally free. We suggest visiting HotelChatter, Jaunted and VegasChatter during your free internet time but you may also want to hit up Morgan's new Tumblr blog.
So does this mean Morgans is getting closer to a loyalty program that would give you free WiFi if you join up? It seems like it! We totally approve of this too. Thompson Hotels, take note!
Create your account with Morgans here to get your free WiFi!

Morgans Hotel Group Will Tumblr For You
You Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare but do you Tumblr? Well, if you want to keep up with the latest news from Morgans Hotel Group, you may wanna start Tumblring. The hotel group has launched its very own Tumblr page, Morgans/Back of House.
For the briefest of lessons on Tumblr--it's a blogging platform, a really cool one. We love its clean layouts, easy HTML buttons and the capability to "follow" other blogs and have their posts pop up into your home page feed, otherwise known as a "dashboard."
Although most Tumblrs are personal blogs, lately Tumblr is being used as blogging platform for professional websites and companies, i.e. NY Times (although, nothing's there yet.)

Ron Robinson 'Pops Up' at the Mondrian West Hollywood
The Mondrian West Hollywood is earning quite the name for itself as a shopping destination. The hotel almost sees as many pop-up shops as the Sunset Strip sees celeb wanna-bes. The latest shop to pop up is a lifestyle emporium from Ron Robinson.
The exclusive brand, which is only found on Melrose Avenue in LA and Broadway in Santa Monica, will bring high-end design and luxury items to the hotel. The 300-square-foot shop will sit a few feet away from the hotel's Sunset Strip entrance and will open to the public today.

Party with the Semi Precious Weapons in Boston, and Maybe Lady Gaga Too
Are you heading to see Lady Gaga perform in Boston on the night of July 1 and perhaps hoping that she'll make an appearance at the hotel after-party like she did in New York? If so, you could be in luck...since The Ames Hotel is inviting the public to the after-party of the Semi Precious Weapons, after they open for Gaga at the TD Garden.
To be held at Woodward at The Ames, the after-party is just another stop on what seems to be Lady Gaga's tour of Morgans Hotel properties. Her last big party appearance was at NYC's Hudson Hotel, during a night hosted by her friend Lady Starlight. Considering that Gaga and Semi-Precious Weapon's lead singer Justin Tranter are friends from way back, we'd say that the chances of her appearing her are pretty good. After all, what else would Gaga do in Boston?
The list for July 1's Ames party is limited to 100 guests, first-come, first-served. Thus, you should totally mark it on your iCal now and send off your RSVP to RSVPwoodward@morganshotelgroup.com.

The Morgans Hotel Group Global Club Card...Revealed!
Last week, on a "slow news day", we put forth our own photoshop suggestions for what you think the Morgans Hotel Group Global Club Card should look like and we got something even better--a photo of the real thing.
A tipster sent us this snapshot of his own card (photoshopping off the important details) and we have to say, we're loving it. It's way better than what we thought it looked like. Although, we still think it would be cool if you could personalize this card with a photo of your favorite Morgans Hotel.

Now Accepting Your Photoshop Submissions for the Morgans Hotel Group Club Card
It goes without saying our newest obsession is the Morgans Hotel Group Global Club Card. We've got the full list of what this card gets you at Morgans Hotels and commenter wrote to tell us just how powerful this card is.
By far the biggest benefit I've seen is guaranteed access to their bars/clubs/restaurants, pretty much no matter what. My buddy walked 5 guys into the Delano on South Beach during a huge Super Bowl party, lines were around the block and we didn't wait 15 seconds.
Another tipster writes:
I have had a Global Card for at least 10 years. It was originally a Schrager one and then a new one was sent when Morgan took over.
It guarantees getting in the bars like Sky Bar Mondrian even when there's a big queue. I also always get upgraded at least 1 level often 2 when arriving at hotel. And the best thing is it's free.
So now we want one even more. But we'd also settle for a picture of one. The commenter told us it's a very simple card with a Morgans Hotel logo on it which we think is BORING! So we've decided to open up the Photoshop Submissions line for your ideas on what the card should look like. You don't have to be a PS Genius to do this. Heck, you can do it in Microsoft Paint if you like! Here we'll start it off for you!

· Dedicated concierge to assist you with all of your needs before and during your stay
· Complimentary night at all of our new hotel openings around the world
· $100 in US Hotels or £100 in UK hotels for a standard room if available after 10PM
