Nov 10th, 2012 at 12:00PM: It's official, and hopefully you're not too blue about it. We're in for four more years of President Obama, but that doesn't mean Washington (hotels) are any less excited about inauguration. We've been tracking what our favorite properties are doing to prepare, but also what's going on in the hotel world at large for this week's "Hotel News We Noted."
As always, send us questions and comments ...

Nov 2nd, 2012 at 12:00PM: We'd like to begin this week's column by sending out our thoughts to all of those who have been without power or homes since Sandy tore through the East Coast earlier this week. While we escaped the worst of the storm in D.C., we know that many of our friends and colleagues in the Northeast were not so lucky. We'll be reporting on ways travelers can help throughout the coming weeks.
The hotel ...

Oct 26th, 2012 at 2:00PM: As the East Coast prepares to batten down its hatches for the pending "Frankenstorm" (Hurricane Sandy) and the rest of the country is bombarded with an equally unpleasant series of political messages, we hope this week's edition of "Hotel News We Noted" can serve as a bright spot. From holiday and Halloween happenings to World Series-worthy suites and new hotel openings, we've got it all covered. ...

Sep 21st, 2012 at 4:00PM: The leaves are changing and we're itching for a getaway somewhere fun and "fall" themed. We participated in the first ever #traveluxe Twitter chat earlier this week and all the talk of fall hotels got us thinking about some bucket-list hotel names that would be great for a weekend away, including The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, Mohonk Mountain House and Blantyre Resort.
So this week we pose a ...

Greetings from Toronto, where we're visiting our fair neighbor to the north during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF, for short). There is much to be enjoyed in this bustling capital, where hotels like the new Shangri-La, Trump, Ritz-Carlton (can you believe that's what has opened only in the last year?) and soon-to-launch Four Seasons are dominating the luxury hotel scene, and ...

We're officially into the Dog Days of Summer and it seems like every resort we see is trying to promote a pet-friendly package. Be sure to inquire if you want to travel with Fido or Fifi – many hotels offer pet-friendly policies for dogs under a certain size, and some, like Kimpton, even cater to the pampered pooch with special welcome amenities.

Greetings, friends. Here's to hoping that everyone in a hotel tonight is there because they are enjoying an extended Fourth of July vacation, and not because they're still without power from last weekend's storms or Colorado's devastating wildfires. It seems like the end of the world might be nigh after all – so this week, in addition to your standard Hotel News We Noted on openings, ...
