On Our Radar: Condé Nast's 2009 Hot List

This year's Condé Nast's Hot List features 43 hotels that cost under $250 per night. Ladies, if you're taking that girls' trip and splittin' a room with your besties, it looks like you've got some great options. Here are two very different getaways that interest us:


First off, our trip to WeHo may not be a sure thing; but cruising through the slideshow of the London West Hollywood makes us want to book our Virgin flight now. According to the glowing Condé Nast review, the London boasts a quality crew, fab rooms and roof top pool full of pretty people. Isn't that what vacations are all about? Book us one of the roomier Crown Suites (shown above)--if we're traveling across country we'll chip in a little extra for a great view. Rooms start at $199.


Also on the CN list and ours: Last year we took a super short (we're talking 24 hours) trip to Charleston, S.C. to check out a city we'd heard great things about and Savannah is another Southern town that's been whispering its welcome to us for years. The recently opened Avia Hotel has a modern bend that contrasts with the traditional spots you'll find elsewhere in Savannah. It's located in the midst of the 20+ public squares, perfect for daytime shopping and nighttime strolls. The Avia was also featured this February in Travel & Leisure's 50 Best Romantic Getaways.
