Sofitel Hotel Gatwick London (Review, Photos and Video)

…much nicer rooms. While the Hilton is connected to the South Terminal, the Sofitel is attached to the North. Although, as I found out, it is very simple and fast to get from the Sofitel to the South Terminal. There is a walkway from the hotel into the North Terminal that comes out right at the monorail that connects the terminals. This runs every 3 minutes at peak times and every 6 at less busy times. The hotel has a very good deal if you book 8 o…

Sao Paulo (Brazil) : Sofitel Hotel

…on Rua Sena Madureira here in Sao Paulo. View of Sao Paulo from my room in Sofitel Here is my review of the hotel: I liked this hotel. The rooms are large; the food is good and the staff all very helpful and friendly. While the hotel basically overlooks an interchange it is very near to the large public park that locals can be seen streaming into on the weekend and makes for a very pleasant place to escape to near the hotel. The whole area the hot…

Pullman Paris Rive Gauche (ex Sofitel Porte de Sevres) Hotel Paris: the hotel I dread and hate staying at..

…e. This hotel was relaunched in December 2007 as The Pullman after being a Sofitel. The strange thing is that although they speak about a whole new concept and it is now a business traveller focused hotel….. it is exactly the same as it was before. I suppose they could have been transitioning over the many months I was staying there but there is almost no change… Unfortunately, this is also now a hotel that I stay at virtually every week these day…

My Sofitel Macau Review

Watch my video tour and review of the Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16 The hotel is located in the old historic part of Macau, and is an ideal base for doing the self-guided walks that the Tourist Office recommend visitors use to see the old and significant parts of the city. It is a short distance from the casinos near to the ferry terminal (although easy to walk to) and on a different island to the newer “Las Vegas” style mega developments. I found it…

…oy the sun. This huge park, which is near to some of the large hotels like Sofitel and Ramada, has a number of museums like the Oca and also the Ibirapuera Auditorium designed by the famous designer Oscar Niemeyer. It also has a Planeterium, bike riding circuit and nearby is the lovely monument called Bandeiranies. There is even a Japanese garden in the park. (6) MUSEUMS The best museum to visit if you want to immerse yourself into the history and…

What really annoys me when checking in to a hotel I stay at a lot…

Sofitel Porte De Sevres Room 622, originally uploaded by garybembridge. As any reader of this blog knows, I stay in hotels what seems like every week of the year. It is close but not that close. It never ceases to amaze how some hotels can get it wrong and some so right – and most in the middle. Especially strange in this day of computers, networks and databases. So my pet hate hotel service is the Pullman Rive Gauche (formally Sofitel). I have s…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…
