Le Méridien Etoile Hotel, Paris, France (Video, photos, review)
…ood location as it is next to the massive congress centre, and although a fair walk is walk able to the Arc D’Triompe. Connections by Metro and RER are good. I was staying in a deluxe room, and one thing that I remember is that the hotel is a strange shape and it is easy to get confused on the floors when trying to find your room. I did a whole lap of the 6th floor before finally finding my room. The corridors are al quite dark which I assume is t…
Hotel Mercure Rouen Val de Reuil France: MMM……
…leagues who had the breakfast said it was good and good value. There is a fairly large restaurant in the lobby area. The staff were neither friendly nor not friendly. So consistent with the overall hotel experience. I was not wild about the place, but it was great value, handy for our office where I was meeting and I was only there to sleep (getting in at 9pm and leaving at 745am) and so fine. There are other hotels in the area that are priced abo…
Holiday Inn Republique Paris France: Review, Photo and Videos
…ike chains like Sheraton has done. There is a large flat screen TV with a fairly good selection of international programs, including things like BBC1 and BBC2. The fitness centre is on the 4th floor and you have to go to reception to sign a waiver form to use it, so try and remember to ask for that on check-in so you don’t have to make a trip down to reception in your gym kit. The fitness centre itself is a mish mash of equipment and not that well…
Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel, Nice, France (Review, Video & Photos)
…2004 and so all feels and is new. It is very tastefully done. The gym is fairly small but well equipped. The indoor/ outdoor pool is nice and heated so you could actually swim outside. There are no changing rooms at the pool which meant you need to chnage in your room and venture down in robe or such. We only ate in the bar one lunchtime and had a pretty good club sandwich. The breakfast buffet was huge and good. Lots of good restaurants in walki…
Renaissance Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Modern, stylish and great location
…varying languages. Overall they are bright and comfortable. The hotel is fairly expensive due to the location and the overall offering. The meeting rooms are large and bright, with patios outside that would be great in the summer. Overall a great hotel.

Hotel du Louvre Paris France. A Luxury Paris Hotel With Style.
…full but welcoming and also serves food. The fitness room is okay, with a fairly good range but no cross trainer (but bikes and running machine) and some weights/ weight machines. There is free wireless through the hotel. A good touch. I really like staying here. It is a great location right next to the metro and the Louvre itself. We had a meeting one day in the meeting rooms. Again staff went out of their way to check everything was as we wanted…
Travel to French Riviera In Winter: Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Antibes
…e and popular tourist area. As a result, it is actually the second busiest airport in France after Charles De Gaulle in Paris. The minute you land, you know that this area is a rich person’s playground, as large private planes are strewn around the airport. I visited Nice for five days over one New Year period, slap‑bang in the middle of winter. Evidence of how popular it is in winter, the flights from London post‑Christmas were surprisingly packe…

…ingapore Air and the Japanese Airlines in particular, and Korea has Korean Air and Asiana Air based there. There is a modern subway system that is very heavily used (about 8 million passengers a day) as well as buses. They all seem very efficient and well coordinated. There also seem to be loads of taxis everywhere you go, and taxis are fairly inexpensive and probably the best way to get around. Taxi drivers generally (as is true in most cities wh…

7 Ways Cruising Will Change After The Shutdown
…ole area of air conditioning. There’s a lot of discussion around what role air conditioning and the way air conditioning systems work, may or may not have spread this airborne virus. I’m not sure there’s any specific data on that, but one thing I’ve noticed is more and more talk by cruise lines about changing the air conditioning systems. So, for example, referring back to Genting, they’ve said that moving forward all their ships will change their…
