If You Consider The Soho House For $625 To Be a Good Deal...
...then you'll like this new deal feature from Tablet Hotels.
We've always loved the selection of hotels offered via Tablet Hotels, and we were excited to peruse their newest Last Minute options in hopes of scoring "exclusive access to rock-bottom rates only available for the next 7-14 days."
We first started off with NYC and found that Gild Hall had rooms for as low as $129 this Sunday. That's great news! But rooms at The Soho House were going for $625 for tomorrow and Thursday night, down from $950. Not good news at all.
The last-minute options on Tablet were only available for a handful of properties across eight cities: Buenos Aires, Florence, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome, Washington DC and Miami. The cool thing is you can see what the rates will be like for the next 7-14 days, a tool not usually found on other booking sites. Now if only some of those prices could come down.

Tablet Gently Ushers You Into the World of Soft Openings
We've been telling you for ages now that stalking an upcoming hotel to find out about its soft opening — that is, that shaky period when the hotel opens its doors before every part of the hotel is up and running and fully functional — can score you a killer opening rate and a chance to check out the place early. You've gotta be brave, though: most of the time, not all public spaces are ready to go, sometimes the kitchens aren't up and running, and some amenities may be missing.
Now Tablet Hotels is telling you the same thing — albeit a little bit late (but we'll get to that part in a minute).

Opa! J. Crew and Tablet Hotels Giving Away a Greek Vacay
If you fail to see a connection between prepster-outfitter J. Crew and the country of Greece, pause for a moment and think of this: White. Linen. Pants.
You're on a balcony in Santorini; the wind's in your hair as you gaze out onto the sparkling sea... while you're wearing a royal blue shirt and white linen pants from J. Crew, naturally. Or a white cotton sundress and a big floppy hat, even! Forget the cashmere, cardigans and suiting of the Connecticut-country-club J. Crew you're thinking of; J. Crew is also known for their killer beachwear.
And, appropriately, they're teaming up with Tablet Hotels to give you some of that beachy stuff — plus the opportunity to wear it on your hotel balcony in Santorini. One lucky (seriously, seriously lucky) winner will receive a $2,000 J.Crew gift card, round-trip airfare for two to Greece and a 5-night stay at the ultra-luxe Tsitouras Collection Hotel in Santorini.
You can put yourself in the running for the sweepstakes here, though it's only open to residents U.S. and Canada and, um, only one person wins the grand prize and a lot of people will probably enter. But! They're also giving away those cute J. Crew metallic passport covers every day, so you can always shoot for one of those.
[UPDATE]: There seems to have been some confusion about whether Canadian residents could enter the contest or not. Sadly for our friends up North, the official word from Tablet: "The Sweepstakes is not open to Canadians - we apologize for any confusion."

Win Five Nights in Paris at The Hotel Pont Royal
What could possibly lift our moods on this dreary January day? Hmmm...well, a chance to spend five nights free in Paris at the The Hotel Pont Royal and have a free dinner for two at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon restaurant inside the hotel is definitely a start.
Tablet Hotels has upped the ante in their monthly Tablet Sweepstakes by offering this amazing prize which doesn't include airfare but if we win, we'll find a way to get there. We drooled in the windows of the restaurant on our recent trip to Paris so we're pretty determined.
Entries are being accepted here online. And if you invite friends to sign-up for the Tablet Hotels email newsletter, you get more entries submitted into the sweepstakes.
We don't ever win anything so we're not holding out any hope for this one. But we may just score a consolation prize which 50 second-place winners will receive--a signed copy of Joël Robuchon’s new cookbook, The Complete Robuchon. Bon appetit!

Tablet Hotels Announces Their Budget Selections
Unlike Morgans Hotel Group or the Omni Hotel in DC, Tablet Hotels is actually mindful of the recession, sending out an email today to subscribers introducing their budget hotels.
The truth is that for us, it's never been about price; that is to say, we've never felt that substance or style required a hefty price tag. We've always featured hotels around the world at lower price points. Now we're just making it easier for you to find them. So, whenever searching by destination, filter the results by "Budget Hotel"...and let the deals rise to the top.
We hit up the Tablet website to check for deals in Paris and found The Five Hotel, which we stayed in last month, going for 99 Euros a night for a teeny room. We were also excited to see some special discounts at some of our other fave hotels like the Omm in Barcelona, Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC and Hollywood Roosevelt in LA. Finally, someone understands the need for a deal.

A Holiday Treat :: The May Fair in London for £145 a Night
Paris Hilton's London Crash Pad
£145 a night
If you want to spend Christmas vacation across the pond, Tablet Hotels has rounded-up a few hotel deals for London.
What caught our eye was the pink-licious May Fair Hotel where Paris Hilton recently spent some time. Ok, so that may make you not want to spend the night but the room rate is attractive at £145 a night or $236 USD. We actually plugged in dates of Dec. 19-21 and the rate that popped up was slightly less at £140.00 a night. Sweet.
The deal is good through December 30 and it's available on Tablet Hotels.

HotelChatter Reader Deals :: The Funky Belmont Dallas for $109
Vintage Motor Inn-Turned "Hippest Hotel in Dallas"
$109 a night
Look, we were all about Dallas hotels this summer. And we understand why maybe some of you weren't really into being in the red-hot Texas heat in the dead of July. So now that it's less scorching-hot down South, we'd definitely recommend a visit to Dallas during this time of year when the air is crisp and cool -- but not too cool.
The Belmont Dallas was a motor inn in 1946 -- and after some sprucin' up, the hotel has turned into a killer contemporary hotel with a funky retro vibe. Bonus: its bar was named the "Most Cinematic Hotel Bar" in the DFW area -- but we're pretty sure you're may want to lay off the booze long enough to take in the gorgeous views of the Dallas skyline. Right now, Tablet Hotels is offering room rates that start as low as $109, valid through December 31st.

She alerts her faithful readers (like us) to a contest currently being run by Tablet Hotels awarding two free nights in a mystery hotel, should you be able to identify said mystery hotel using the following clue:

Shhh, if you know the answer don't tell us--that is unless you want more competition in the random drawing. Instead, e-mail your answer to info@tablethotels.com.

Hammock Dreaming at This Super Cool Hotel in Patagonia
We just found this hotel through the Tablet Hotels application on Facebook (oh yeah, we're into that!) and we wanna go like right now.
It's called Hotel Indigo and it thankfully has nothing to do with the cookie-cutter "lifestyle" brand from IHG Hotels.
Hotel Indigo is located in the Chilean part of Patagonia in Puerto Natales. It's a bit difficult to get to but probably worth it.
The 29-room hotel offers super killer views of the Last Hope Fjord and is close to the Torres del Paine park. But what's really great about this hotel is that it's practically architectural eye candy and stylish inside to boot. Not something you would usually expect from a hotel in Patagonia.
The hotel has wireless internet, a spa, a restaurant and lounge bar and a hammock in the lobby. We love hammocks here. But the bestest part is the price. Room rates start at $160--totally reasonable for such a cool hotel.

Tablet Hotels CEO Guest Blogging for New York Times
Over at The New York Times "T" Magazine's The Moment blog (whew), Tablet Hotels' CEO and co-founder Laurent Vernhes has been guest blogging for a couple of days now.
Yesterday, he wrote a wonderful piece about guidebooks - specifically, about a particularly unfortunate series of events in Rio that caused him to let go of his Lonely Planets and travel without lugging around all those heavy, inconvenient tourist bibles.
Today's post was an excellent followup about life after guidebooks, opening up a discussion about the Internet's potential to replace the whole guidebook industry.
Pop on over there to check 'em out - his posts are definitely worth the read. His guest blogging stint lasts all week so be sure to keep up!

NewYorkology Gets a Family Suite in Prague
Everything worked out for our girl Amy at yesterday as we and she knew it would. Tablet Hotels was able to get her into a family suite at the Alchymist Grand Hotel, after her initial hotel missed its opening date.
Here's what is inside a family suite :
These two level Rooms are the ideal combination of two deluxe rooms, especially for families. The Family Rooms feature a two separated bedrooms with one queen size bed and two twin beds on the upper level.
Each bedroom has air-conditioning, LCD TV with premium channels, DVD and CD player, safe, mini-bar and high speed internet access. Family Rooms have two separate bathrooms, one with shower corner only and one with a shower, bath-tub and bidet. The size is 60 square meters or 650 square feet."
