Chipper at The Charlie

You’ve seen hotel rooms with private kitchenettes, blackout shades and even a personal butler. If you think you have seen it all when it comes to living in the lap of luxury, you haven’t seen anything yet. Welcome to The Charlie Hotel.

Picture 73It may sound like an ordinary hotel but it is anything but. Located in West Hollywood, The Charlie is made out of 14 bungalows all named after famous faces such as Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and of course, Charlie Chaplin himself. The 14 bungalows all located on the street N. Sweetzer are the most luxurious and elegant bungalows, if you can even call them that, that anyone would be lucky enough to stay in. Whether you choose a two bedroom bungalow or a two bedroom apartment, each guest is meant to feel as though they are in someone’s home rather than a guest at a hotel.

Each bungalow features typical hotel services such as room cleaning and internet, but what separates The Charlie from others is its commitment to personal assistance, with amenities such as dog walking, weekly fresh flower deliveries and a gardener.

If a month or even a day at The Charlie sounds ideal, join the club. Celebrities such as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were once spotted checking in to one of the bungalows. Apparently Chaplin is trying to keep the tradition alive, from one celebrity to another.

Recharge Your Battery at Fairmont Battery Wharf

With a vibrant harbor front and just steps to the North End, Boston’s Battery Wharf area has been completely revitalized, which is no wonder why the Fairmont chose to open its second location here. With a more intimate hotel- just 150 guestrooms to its 383-room Copley Plaza sister property- you certainly can’t compete with the waterfront views.

Picture 28Each room at the Fairmont Battery Wharf is spacious and includes all modern amenities such as iPod docking stations, flat screen televisions and IP telephones. Last year, the hotel opened Fairmont Gold here for those seeking more personalized service. A Fairmont Gold room features access to its own lounge, which offers complimentary continental breakfast, evening hors d’oeuvres as well as an honor bar for cocktails.

Whether you come for a romantic getaway or weekend escape, the only thing you’ll be left wondering is whether the hotel or location is better.
