U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner may have duly followed in his predecessors' footsteps, but at least he acted appropriately youthful. Just like Justin Bieber, Weiner Tweeted his favorite photos to his Beliebers.
While Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms are changing the world one revolution at a time, they're also infecting our political leaders' integrity. At Oyster, we believe a discreet hotel or bathroom stall would serve better as a clandestine rendezvous, but as they say, to each their own. Kudos to your Twitter blast, Weiner. This way, we can all see it -- your pregnant wife included.
Check out the six best hotels that'll keep congressmen safe in their scandalous endeavors -- that is, until they electively share the evidence.
Hotel: Hotel Hana-Maui, Maui, Hawaii
In the middle of Maui’s lush, secluded east coast, Hotel Hana-Maui’s incredible service, top spa, excellent food and great activities make it one of our favorites. Boasting only 77 rooms on acres of uncrowded property, the rooms are large, clean, sleekly furnished — and stripped of TVs, clocks, and radios. It may be hard to reach, but it’s worth the trip.
Hotel: The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C.
The small-scale 86-room Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is housed in a historic industrial building (a former trash incinerator) in the beautiful heart of Georgetown; the original brick and steel beams help give the lobby far more boutique appeal than a conventional Ritz-Carlton.
Hotel: Geejam, Port Antonio, Jamaica
At Geejam, the setting is gorgeous, the service is extraordinary, and one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches is only 10 minutes away. It’s made up of only five private, high-tech cottages on the lush (rainy) foothills of Port Antonio. The quiet isolation at this intimate property makes it a perfect spot for a secluded getaway.
Hotel: The Mosaic Hotel Beverly Hills, Los Angeles
Housed in a charming, yellow four-story building just off Wilshire in Beverly Hills, this cozy 49-room boutique offers a lot in a little space. The Mosaic bridges the gap between less luxurious boutiques and the extravagant mega-hotels. It has all the boutique charm and personal service you’d expect, along with added amenities you don’t (like a car to shuttle guests around, pitchers of cucumber-infused water in the lobby, and a heated outdoor pool).
Hotel: Punta Islita, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
This ultra-remote, rustic luxe hideaway is worth the bumpy, two-and-a-half hour drive from Liberia Airport. The unparalleled views, stunning infinity pool, and ruggedly beautiful (if rocky) beach make for an unforgettable experience.
Hotel: The Greenwich Hotel, New York
This virtually flawless 88-room TriBeCa newcomer — opened in 2008 by Robert de Niro, among others — offers a breathtaking design and very attentive service. The guests-only lobby, drawing room, and courtyard feel like a little TriBeCan oasis. As no photos are allowed, anyone, famous or not, can be discreet and feel at home beyond just their rooms.
