With the release of Condé Nast Traveler's 2013 Hot List of Hotels, we couldn't help but check out what the hottest hotels in our fair city were. And boy were we impressed! We were particularly pleased to see that a hotel in Brooklyn was featured, and was in fact declared the hottest of all three New York hotels that made the list! The Wythe Hotel, in lovely Williamsburg, looks like a fantastic home away from home whenever you're next in the city! With breathtaking views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, a rooftop bar, and a top-notch restaurant in the building, we'll definitely be heading over to check out this hot hotel.

Tips from a Flight Attendant[/caption] Flight Attendant Keri has spent the past six years of her life traveling for a living, and boy has she picked up some great tips for staying beautiful in flight! Read on for our interview with her!

Nomaterra: What airline do you work for?

KL: I work for United Airlines, what used to be the old Continental.

N: How long have you been working for them?

KL: I've been with them for six years!

N: Where do you fly often?

KL: I've been doing only international flights for the past 4years. I just transferred this month back to domestic flying. So normally I am all over Europe but I would work a lot of trips to Scotland, Ireland, and England.

N: What have been your favorite places to visit?

KL: I love Edinburgh! It's such an amazing city. Dublin is always a fun time. Athens was amazing and the food was to die for. Hong Kong is also really cool. And of course Paris never gets old!

N: How long do you normally get to stay in a given place?

KL: It depends on where we fly, internationally the layovers are usually 24 hours. But domestically it can be anywhere from 8 hours to 30 hours. It's always changing

N: What are your top three favorite US cities and why?

KL: That's so hard! I'm going to have to narrow it down to four:

San Francisco

Los Angeles: I just love the west coast. The vibe, the beach, the weather. It's a nice break

Austin: I'm a Texas girl and Austin is where it's at!

NYC: This one is just obvious. Everyone loves New York and I've been living here since I started this job. It's everything you could ever want on a tiny island.

N: What beauty secrets do you have for keeping skin and hair looking great in spite of constantly traveling?

KL: It's definitely a challenge because the air is so dry up there. So staying hydrated is a must! Drink lots of water, always have lotion, Chapstick, and eye drops. And baby powder for the hair.

N: Are you allowed to wear fragrance when you fly, and if so what do you wear?

KL: We are allowed to as long as it isn't over bearing. It can be a disaster if there's too many different smells going on. My favorite perfume is Estes Lauder Pleasures. But in the summer I'll wear more floral perfume like Gucci Flora.

N: What are your travel product essentials?

KL: Well I've become an expert packer. I always have my bag packed for any weather because things change so often that you could end up somewhere you weren't expecting. So I always have a bathing suit, gym clothes, long and short sleeve clothing, light sweater, extra under garments, make up, make up remover wipes, lotions, perfume, my watch, and a pen.
