London Heathrow Terminal 5: British Airways Concorde First Lounge

…lders and Concorde Lounge if you are actually flying First. Years ago, the Concorde lounge was just that. It was for Concorde flyers. It was amazing as you boarded straight from the lounge onto the plane. Something I was lucky enough to have done twice. I have been to the Concorde Lounge at T5 in a few times, and have posted about the First Class lounge. Restaurant The Concorde lounge is pretty good, with a restaurant with booths where you can ord…

Concorde Lafayette Paris Hotel. Stunning Paris Views From 33rd Floor.

…from Concorde Lafayette Hotel Paris 28th Floor room (Room 2807) View from Concorde Lafayette Paris Room 2823, originally uploaded by garybembridge. Concorde Lafayette Hotel Paris France is massive. This hotel stands tall on the Paris skyline as, at 33 or so floors, it is of unusual height for the city better known for buildings a few stories high. It also does not match the usual beauty of Parisian buildings, looking more like an ugly 70s style c…

Tips For Travellers: An Interview With Gary’s Husband, Mark

…e, go on the QE – all the kind of iconic things. Danielle: Had you been on Concorde? Mark: Yes, we’d been on Concorde. Well, Gary had been on it a number of times. I’d been on Concorde, I think, a year or two before. Danielle: Having now cruised several times, which line for you is your preferred and why? Mark: I think if I had to choose one, I would choose Cunard. And it’s hard to explain why I like it so much. We are lucky that we travel in Quee…

Hotels and making you feel welcome. Especially if you stay there a lot……

…d you. I was even more impressed at a recent stay last week at the massive Concorde Lafayette hotel. Not only are they revamping the hotel and rooms but both on checking in and checking out senior staff (sales on arrival and duty manager when checking out) were called and told me how my custom was valued, how I liked the new rooms and suggestions etc. They really made you feel important. I assume they both knew my record and number of stays at the…

Hotel Du Louvre Hotel Paris: a great location, friendly service and good place to stay

…oaded by garybembridge. On the plus side, the Hotel Du Louvre (part of the Concorde group) is in a great location. As the name suggests, it is near to the famous Louvre museum in a very busy area of Paris with great Metro connections and tourist sites and places to eat and drink (at all price ranges). The other positive is that the staff at the hotel is all efficient, friendly and welcoming. This is true across all departments and levels at the ho…

…ven more in Paris. The only one that come close (interestingly) is another Concorde group hotel that I also visit a lot called Concorde Lafayette. There is always a welcome back, every effort been made to get the room or room type you like, sometimes a much appreciated upgrade on less busy times of the year – and a short handwritten and signed note in the room welcoming you back. Important and lovely touches. Every room I have stayed in seems to b…

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…
