Elle's Fashionisto Names The Covent Garden in London His Favorite Hotel

Where: 10 Monmouth Street [map], London, United States, WC2H 9HB

We like to talk about Fashion Hotels quite a bit, naming everything from the Top 3 Milan Fashion Week hotels to where Chanel puts up their guests in Venice. But not often do we actually get to hear about the best fashion hotels from the horse's mouth, but of course Twitter comes through.

While Fashion Week season ends, one of the newest Twitter celebs has earned a loyal following thanks to his devotion to tweeting live from the front rows and the poshest parties; it's the Creative Director of Elle magazine, Joe Zee. You've seen him on Stylista and now on The City, but the man is more than just a powerful contact; he's a travel pro, with no qualms about naming his favorite hotel in London.

Courtney Love Trashes the Covent Garden Hotel

Where: 10 Monmouth Street, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9HB

Courtney Love turned 43 yesterday and celebrated by playing a gig in London's Bush Hall. In true Courtney Love fashion, she followed up her show by boozing the night away at the Covent Garden Hotel and totally trashing her room.

The Daily Mirror reports:

"She had used the place as an ashtray with butts strewn about and burn marks all over the bed, carpet and upholstery...Staff said the room was left in a right state - like a wild animal had been let loose in there."

Courtney's rep says the damage was caused by a friend "leaning on the table." Guess it was a magic table that, when leaned on, comes to life and burns everything in the room with cigarettes.

Get it together, Courtney. You're 43. Not even Britney trashes hotel rooms.

When Sherly Crow Steals Your Room

Where: 10 Monmouth Street, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9HB

[Editor's Note: Hotel Maven JulieW just returned from London with a story about what happens when you lose your reserved hotel room to Sheryl Crow. Enjoy. Thake is away JulieW:]

Just got back from my vacation in London (pre-bombing) and was really disappointed by my experience at the Covent Garden Hotel. I've stayed there in the past and have always loved the boutiques atmosphere and lively restaurant/bar..but the trouble started even before we left.

First, the room my husband and I reserved months ago, with connecting room for our daughter, was pulled from us with only a couple of days notice.

We were told it was 'accidently' given to another guest, who I later learned was Sheryl Crow.
