Hotel Cascais Miragem Lisbon (Review, Video & Photos)

…are efficient and friendly and add to the overall welcoming effect of the hotel. The conference rooms are also massive and so I assume the hotel, despite its very vacation feel must host many large conferences and I suspect this may be what accounts for a lot of the out-of-season trade at the hotel as the sorts of rates we were paying for the quality of the hotel were fantastic. They would not be that in summer. I would like to go back through as…

I Cruise Silversea To See If Its New Owners Have Ruined It

…t, usually business class flights, a pre-cruise hotel stay, transfers from hotel to the ship, all the on-board inclusions (butler, drinks, Basic Wi-Fi, gratuities, most specialty dining, and now also a choice of one excursion per port), post hotel stay or a day room, transfer to airport and then limo home. The “Port-to-Port” is the cruise-only fare with those same inclusions on board. Talking of fares, they still offer many cruises with low solo s…

LE TOUSSEROK HOTEL MAURITIUS: a stunning hotel on this stunning island.

…tted about and every single meal involves screaming children. It seems the hotel attracts couples who don’t mind their children screaming and intruding….. I think the hotel, as also a magnet for couples and honeymooners, could easily have a family dining room or area – or have a family dining time and then slightly later child free one. The non-inclusive restaurants (Safran and barlens) are good but very expensive. Even with the credits if you eat…

Hotel Pentelikon (Athens, Greece) Review and Video

…ll of houses and has a very large and developed shopping area.However, the hotel itself is an oasis in this suburb. The original hotel build in the 1920s is right on the street with a grand looking entrance and lobby area with huge sweeping staircase. It looks lush, rich and luxurious on entering.Just off the lobby are 2 restaurants which are pretty pricey, with one having a Michelin star. They do have fabulous food which is presented so well and…

Renaissance Capital Hotel, Chaoyang, Beijing, China

…found a taxi driver passed round the entrance 3 times trying to locate the hotel. The hotel is located in the Central Business District and is not an ideal location for tourists as not that handy for the sites, and is seems that it is very quiet. While I was there the hotel was very quiet, and I did feel there was more staff than there were guests. There is not a lot within walking distance, though there is a large Mall with a huge selection of sh…

Grand Palace Hotel, Tokyo, Japan (review, video, pictures)

…a lot. Although it is one of the more popular and recommended of the Tokyo hotels. This hotel is so typical of what I find depressing when travelling on business. It is a large, very dated and beige hotel situated out of the main buzzing centre of town in a suburb full of uninspiring office blocks. It gets a busy and regular trade from people like me staying near the office and from busloads of tourists on economic packages. The hotel is very larg…

…ption of anyone desperate to play and be near to a golf course next to the hotel). The Hotel Barcelo is located in the suburbs of Marbella but is designed like a beach hotel. It feels a bit like someone forgot to mention to the architects it was nowhere near water. It is an innocuous hotel that is easily forgotten. It is neither good nor bad. I had a large room as was allocated a suite on the 4th floor which was very pleasant. It had a large entra…

Hilton Hotel Zurich Airport (Review and Room Videos)

…and seems popular. On the way to the hotel it stops at a Hilton Apartment Hotel and then the hotel. On the way back it stops at that hotel and then 2 other places (which seem to be airport crew or admin buildings) before the terminal. The trip is between about 5 and 10 minutes. The rooms in the hotel seem to have been modernised fairly recently and are designed with the business traveller in mind. Amazingly comfortable beds, pillows and duvets ar…

Hotel Review: Sheraton Belgravia, London UK

…dly and attentive. This perfectly fits the premium nature and rates of the hotel. I was, for example, staying at the hotel for a few days for a work meeting and even at a conference deal of £215 (about US$430) for a standard room. I was though, as I am a Starwood Gold Card holder, upgraded to a “Junior Suite”. This room on the 7th floor was lovely with 3 large windows looking across the rooftops of London towards the “London Eye” (bearing in mind…

…Good We Slept With The Curtains Open. As The video in this post will show! Hotel Intercontinental Hotel Time Square New York Room 2826 I have stayed in New York a zillion times over the last 20 years, mostly for work when I was commuting back and forth. I just wish that this hotel had existed earlier, and that I had discovered it before this trip. If it had, I would have been a regular here! The hotel is fairly new, and although it is called Hotel…
