Hands up how many of you fall into that category. Yeah we thought so too.
London Fashion Week is coming up as you well know and with it comes all the parties. If you happen to be between freebies (heaven forbid) from 1 September to 30 September, the Rockwell bar at the Trafalgar Hotel is the place to pick up fashion-y drinks. Cocktails are only GBP 10 / each with names like Nude Lace and The Girl in the Camel Coat.
You better work it girl. Work…turn to the left now turn to the right.
As the summer nears an end, Manhattanites will soon be getting ready for Fashion Week and the shopping / drinking night, Fashion’s Night Out on 10 September. Hotel Chatter brings us this offer to complete the event at the St. Regis in New York.
2 tickets to Fashion’s Night Out show on 7 September
Chauffeured town car for the big night on 10 September
Dinner at the Adour, the hotel’s restaurant
Fashionista goodies like champagne, a book from The Met’s Costume Institute and a selection of sweets
The offer is available between 3 – 12 September and must be booked over the phone. Call Denise Hartnett at +1-212-339-6738.
Rates start at $1,485 plus tax per night. A little Ab Fab never hurt anyone. Lacroix sweetie.
Sometimes all you need is a crash pad. But a stylish one, not someone’s sofa. Sanctum Soho in London has just the the thing for you. The room is small (157 square feet / 15 sq m) but does have a king size bed, mini bar and wet bar for GBP 195 / night.
Not a bad last minute option if you happen to miss that last train home (or meet a special “someone”). Which can happen with all the bars in Soho, so if you aren’t party trained you may end up here at the end of the night.
The One & Only Cape Town brings you urban chic with free nights through 19 December 2010. Stay 3 nights for the price of 2 or 6 nights for the price of 4. The deal includes 2 for 1 dinner and spa treatments plus breakfast.
Another Rocco Forte resort, the Verdura has a nice summer deal on from 3 September until 31 October 2010 (go once the kids are finally back at boarding / public school; it’s about bloody time):
Rates from Euro 1,680 for 3 nights
Welcome cocktail
Complimentary dinner and breakfast each day
Choose from a free spa treatment or round of golf per stay
For the secret agent in you – Pack the world’s first waterproof, windproof, breathable wool jacket from Saboteur.
Luxuriate in the blue waters of Mexico’s Mayan Riviera at Maroma, an Orient Express hotel. Through 21 December 2010, get 30% off their suites with a 3 night minimum stay, including:
Round-trip airport transfer via luxury SUV
Breakfast daily
One snorkeling trip per person, per stay
“Margarita Maroma” and staff welcome upon arrival

Perfect if you want to hide from a bad romance. Choose your favourite Lady Gaga outfit for the beach.
At the Hotel Viura in Spain, spend the weekend with a trip to a local winery and light aircraft flight (which you know is one of favourite combinations, alcohol and flying). The package includes 2 nights stay, breakfast, guided tour and the flight for Euro 505. This funky hotel looks like a bunch of cubes piled on one another set in a traditional village.
At the Soho location, the Bar d’Eau has just opened to whet your whistle. If you hurry, you can get to NY in time for the Barneys Warehouse Sale. You’ll need a drink after fighting through that mess.
Enjoy a one bedroom suite with rates from $555 / night at La Samanna in St. Martin until 21 December 2010. Each suite has stunning views of the Caribbean.
And if you want to properly protect your laptop ($980) or Ipad ($600) on this trip, we recommend Kevlar and Bison cases lined in cashmere from Parabellum.
