If you want to save money on your next L.A. or SoCal hotel night, you might want to check out twitter.com. More than just an online diversion and a means to cyberstalk your favorite celeb or athlete, twitter is an invaluable travel tool, especially if you have a favorite hotel. As twitter becomes more mainstream, hotels are using them to reward guests...instantly. Recently there have been tweets for giveaways such as free wine tastings at the Standard Downtown LA (standrdtla), room night contests at the Hotel Erwin (hotelerwin) and many more specials that are announced first to a hotel's twitter followers.
Tuesdays are #traveltuesday. When you log on to twitter expect many tweets on travel deals and trends--Joie de Vivre Hotels is expert at teasing contests. Follow them directly via Venice's Hotel Erwin for room night specials as low as $59! Morgans Hotel Group, the company behind West Hollywood's Mondrian Hotel, also promotes its many fab events--right now there's pop up shop of Kiki de Montparnasse's alluring lingerie at the hotel.
Other L.A. hotel twitterers: Standard Hollywood --follow them for DJ announcements and cool events like Ping Pong by the pool every Saturday afternoon; O Hotel--the downtown boutique hotel announces wine and tapas nights; and Montage Laguna Beach--reading Chef Craig Strong's inspiring Thanksgiving menu (pumpkin soup spiced with chorizo, sunchoke-filled hand-rolled pasta and a Huntsinger Farms' turkey with a a brioche-chestnut stuffing) is reason enough to follow along.
And of course, you can follow me @writerkathymcd or dm me if you want to know where to stay in L.A.!
