Cult hotel designer Ian Schrager is rumoured to be back in business with a new six star hotel on Avenue of Americas in NYC. The plan is to overhaul an 18 storey office block overlooking Central park...nice.
No more news on the link up with Marriott to create Edition Hotels tho
The Hotel Arts has sent me some pictures of its brand new champagne bar set to open in October.
The hotel said it decided to convert its coffee lounge into a swish new bar to fill a gap in the market. I don't know if there are many champagne bars in Barcelona, but I'd be happy to go over there and find out.
The Hotel Arts is one of the best hotels in Barcelona but prices are steep. Now there's no excuse not to pop in and try one of its forty different types of champers. Just make sure you have some euros left for your cab home.
Planning a visit to Layana Resort and Spa on Koh Lanta Island, Thailand and worried about dodgy weather? Well, no need.
The hotel is offering guests money back for each full day of rain. If it pours non-stop between 10am and 5pm, the resort will credit THB 1,000 per room per day. 
Unfortunately that only works out at £18 - just about enough to cover your first couple of cocktails.
But who am I to turn down the chance to drool over some gorgeous hotel pics?
The suite where Dannii Minogue broke the happy (or sad) news to teary X Factor contestants on Saturday night looked strangely familiar.
No, I wasn't belting out an audition of my own - I visited the Atlantis on a fam trip to Dubai in May.
The Bridge Suite is stunning. It connects the hotel's two towers, which means it has amazing views over the whole resort and the ocean.
The 10 lavishly decorated rooms are fit for even the most stroppy superstar, with a marble bath, golf-leaf 16 seater table, and personal butler service.
At $25,000 a night, the Bridge Suite is one of the most expensive hotel rooms in the world. It will be interesting to see if any of the contestants can ever afford to go back there. Hotel Girl doesn't usually comment on reality TV, but my money's on Danyl.
