Our sis site HotelChatter had a bit of a celebrity obsession this week, which we're totally OK with. From "Sex and the City" packages to old LaLo haunts, HC was on the case.

But it wasn't all Hollywood this week. HotelChatter also enlightened us about accessible hotels for folks with special needs when it comes to lodging. The guest appearance by Stephen Hawking was the highlight of the week!

Movie Set Travel: Noise

5/09/2008 at 9:00 AM
Tags: , , , (all tags)

First screened at last year's Rome Film Fest, "Noise" is an indie film now in limited release about how horribly loud New York City can be. Tim Robbins plays a vigilante car alarm destroyer with co-stars Bridget Moynahan as his wife and William Hurt as Gotham's mayor.

Anyone who's spent more than a night in the city knows it can indeed be a terribly loud place to hang out, so we're bringing you some relief with a few quiet places where you can enjoy a moment or two of silence.

Where to Stay: The Library Hotel It's hardly on the quietest block in the city (at 41st and Madison) but the Library keeps things hush-hush with only six rooms per floor and Dewey Decimal-inspired decor. The thousands of books scattered throughout the hotel will certainly dampen footsteps in the hall, and if that's still not enough, the New York Public Library is a couple blocks away on 42nd and 5th.

We're still enjoying spring travel here at Jaunted, but HotelChatter is definitely excited for summer. Why wait for Memorial Day when you can drool over Malibu beach hotels, great ocean views in Puerto Rico and what will surely be this year's It hotel in the Hamptons?

Yep, HC has all you need for your summer vacay planning. And with this handy dandy Hotel WiFi Chart, you'll be ready to jump online to appease the boss while on your trip--until you slip away to the beach, that is.

Got Time to Kill on a Sunday Near LAX This Summer?

Where: 6101 W. Century Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90045

Then you might be interested in heading on over to the Sheraton Gateway LAX Hotel. The hotel is kicking off JetSet Sundays on May 25, a weekly poolside event that will last through the summer.

The hotel's executive chef has put together an exotic sort of menu with Brazilian steak sandwiches and grilled eggplants with sesame and soy, so don't come looking for your standby faves of hot dogs and burgers. (There won't be any bocce bellas there, either.)

However, there will be a Good Humor truck serving ice cream bars and cones. And don't forget about the drinks. Since the hotel is located near the airport, drinks are airline-inspired...

Movie Set Travel: Hotel Gramercy Park

Where: Gramercy Park [map], New York, NY, United States

This week, our movie pick is something a little different. Though the Tribeca Film Festival is winding down, there are still plenty of screenings on. Our pick would be "Hotel Gramercy Park," a documentary about the famous hotel showing tonight at the Village East Cinema.

Director Douglas Keeve went inside the downtown landmark as Ian Schrager prepared the hotel for its grand re-opening. Along the way, he tells the story of the property from back when the Kennedys rented an entire floor to the raging party times of the 80s.

Obviously, this one was shot in NYC. Here are some things to do in the neighborhood.

Where to Stay: Gramercy Park Hotel Might as well stay at the namesake, now a super-luxe property where rooms go for around $700 a night. Just be ready for what HotelChatter calls the hotel's "gothic sex dungeon theme." You'll be in good company in the hotel's bar, where Paris Hilton isn't allowed, and be sure to ask for a key to Gramercy Park.

We don't just love HotelChatter because it's our sis site. We love HC because nobody else can tell us about dope places to stay in Paris while also filling us in on Charlie Sheen's (alleged!) call girl hotels.

Throw in a collection of baseball hotels and hospitality industry party reports, and we're just smitten. We'll have a spring fling with you anytime, HC.

Adventures of Link: HotelChatter, from Mexico to Paris

So the only thing that's been keeping you from checking in with our sis site HotelChatter is its unhealthy obsession with two-faced Brooklyn hotels? Oh, HC has so much more to offer than just that. (Though there is that!)

This week, HotelChatter had on-the-scene reports from San Miguel de Allende and an update on one of the weirdest hotel showers we've ever seen. HC had the green hotel scene covered for Earth Day, too. And it wouldn't be a news week without Paris Hilton making a hotel blacklist somewhere.

Sure our sis site HotelChatter spends a lot of time crashing at hotels in Las Vegas, LA and New York. But HC's network of hotel mavens extends much farther afield to bring you scoop from around the world.

This week, from posadas in Mexico to baller-status stays in Moscow, HotelChatter's roaming the globe--and filling us in. Whether it's killer views or video tours, HC's got places worth checking out from Buenos Aires to Venice.
