Just when you thought this blog was getting all Design Hotels focused……BAM!

The Smiths (that’s Mr & Mrs Smith to you) are feeling pretty generous.  Over at their site, they are running a little competition to win an idyllic getaway weekend in West Sussex, with a two-night stay at York House Rooms, a luxury cottage with all the trimmings of a modern city pad.

Added to that, the lucky winner will get a Spoilt Silly giftbox worth £110 from Coco Ribbon, packed with designer treats including a bottle of the signature Coco Ribbon fragrance, luxurious bath oil, a silk jewellery roll, a bespoke-print silk eyemask and a sultry silk knicker set.

Seems as though those folks over at DesignHotels.com are re-launching soon.

Their 176 member hotels Design Hotels™ are scattered among the most exotic, beautiful, and important cities around the world. Having over 100 destinations in over 40 countries means they represent a variety of cultures, languages, and visual imagery as diverse as the unique perspectives we all have.

Rather than simply communicating their impressions of each of their destinations, they are giving amateur photographers the opportunity to have their work featured on their new website launching spring 2009.

Concierge.com Win a Million Miles

The people over at Concierge.com are giving away one million air miles from Continental Airlines in a new competition.

They are looking for people to submit their top travel tips and recommendations and on a weekly basis a panel made up of the editorial team will award a weekly prize.  All weekly winners will be entered into a draw on 01 December to win one million miles.

Each tip will be reviewed by the judges and awarded points for Clarity, Quality of writing, Usefulness and Creativity, with creativity being the prevailing decider should a tie occur.

Continentale, Florence

Mr & Mrs Smith is offering one winner the chance to jet off to Florence for two nights at the cool and contemporary Continentale.

As befits a visit to one of the world’s most cultured capitals, you’ll be setting off in style with a new set of Mandarina Duck luggage, crammed with £2,000-worth of high-fashion attire from Matches and a treasure-chest of effective skincare and pampering products, courtesy of REN.
