Virgin Atlantic to cut in-flight therapists in Upper Class

…se too much inconvenience. I will of course let you know the result of the review, which is expected sometime during May. We really value our In Flight Beauty Therapists and if the review concludes that the service should be withdrawn we will be able to offer them alternative Cabin Crew jobs. Additionally, in due course, we would like to boost the number of treatments that we offer you on the ground by increasing the number of beauty therapists at…

Novotel Hotel Bangkok Airport (review and video)

We stayed here for a few hours between our flight back from Koh Samui and our flight back to London just after midnight. It was very reasonable to book a room for a night and we decided that it was definitely worth it than hanging about the airport. The hotel runs a shuttle bus service from the airport, and it only takes about 5 minutes. The hotel is large. It has this vast reception atrium. It is massive, and it looks like a large percentage of…

Radisson SAS Hotel Boulogne Paris (review, photos, video)

Radisson Bolougne Paris Room 426 (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. The trip did not start that well, as I had to hang around and wait for my room to be ready for over 3 hours, with conflicting stories from reception during that time. Basically I think the hotel had been very full the night before with large parties that all only checked out late so they had a huge catch-up. They implied as I was here they would give my room priority – bu…

Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain (review, videos, pictures)

Gran Melia Don Pepe Marbella Spain, originally uploaded by garybembridge. The Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain is a five star hotel. Though I am not really sure why. It is a decent hotel with decent rooms and okay service. But it does not have the style, flair or sense of specialness that a 5 star hotel should have. This was the 2nd time that I stayed at the hotel. Both times were attending a work conference. It is perfect for out-of-se…

Hilton Hotel Dusseldorf (Review, photos and video)

Hilton Hotel Dusseldorf Room 1012, originally uploaded by garybembridge. It has been a number of years since I stayed at the Hilton in Dusseldorf. I was not looking forward to the stay as it used to be a regular place I stayed at during one of my work assignments. I was, though, very pleasantly surprised by the change. The hotel has been renovated and many good changes have been made. One of these is the fitness centre. This used to be dire, but…

Hotel Majestic, Barcelona, Spain (review and video)

…ddition to shops there are many great restaurants as well as being near to attractions like a Gaudi museum. There is a small but attractive roof terrace with pool with great views (closed for renovation until about April 2008). The rooms are very varied in size. This trip I had a large room which was very quiet as at the back of the hotel and not overlooking the main road. The air-conditioning is very quiet which is a boon as I hate air-conditioni…

Hilton Hotel Zurich Airport (Review and Room Videos)

I stayed at the hotel twice recently – both stays exactly one week apart. Both trips had a different experience. The hotel is not actually at the airport but is near to the airport. There is a shuttle bus that runs very regularly (about 4 or more time an hour) from a hotel bus area outside the terminal. It is always busy as the hotel is large and seems popular. On the way to the hotel it stops at a Hilton Apartment Hotel and then the hotel. On th…

Lismoyne Hotel, Fleet, Hampshire (UK): Review, Photos, Video

Lismoyne Hotel Fleet Room 53, originally uploaded by garybembridge. On all the literature at this hotel they say “Conferences. Weddings. Events”. This pretty much, in my view, sums up what this hotel delivers on and focuses on – affordale venue for events. We were staying there for one night as we were attending some friend’s 40th birthday and had booked to stay to avoid driving so we could have a drink (or two or three). It was perfectly fine fo…

P&O Aurora Cruise Ship (Review, Photos and Video)

P&O Aurora Cabin B228 William Fawcett Suite, originally uploaded by garybembridge. This was somewhat of a treat as well as hard work. I was invited to be one of the guest speakers on the Richmond Event’s Marketing Forum 2007. They charter a ship for 3 nights, this year the P&O Aurora and marketing suppliers cover the costs and they get marketing people who control budgets along and run a program where the 2 get together and attend talks, workshop…

Fairmont Hotel Santa Monica, Los Angeles (Hotel Review and Video)

I was at this hotel for 5 nights, over the weekend before a business meeting held at the hotel and then for 3 nights for the meeting. I would rate this as a very good hotel to stay at for business, but glad to have been there on a trip as we had been considering it for a short vacation hotel when we visit Santa Monica later in the year. I would not recommend it as a vacation hotel. The hotel is roomy, on very nice lush grounds and is very well ma…

Sofitel Hotel Gatwick London (Review, Photos and Video)

…had booked an “executive room” which is on the 8th floor. Having read some reviews, I had called the hotel and asked for a room with an outside view as a lot of rooms face into the inner courtyard. So this is a good tip to remember. On checking in they confirmed this had been requested and gave us one of the rooms facing the airport and runways (which are their most requested rooms the receptionist told us). I can see why as it was a great view, a…
