…hotel. Having seen the pictures of the outside online, I had expected the hotel to be somewhat ordinary, functional and fairly sterile. It turned out to be none of these. The hotel recently went through an 😯 million dollar renovation which has turned it into a trendy, funky but stylish place – although the outside (other than the grand glass entrance) still looks plain and uninspiring. When you walk into the lobby you are warmly greeted and altho…
…This is a video of the Westin Prince Hotel, Toronto, Canada Room 1511. The rate was about Canadian $170/ night that I am staying in at the moment. A review will follow once my stay is over….
…This is a video of the slightly unusual but innovative rooms at the Radisson SAS Hotel in Dusseldorf Germany. What do you think? Other than I seemed to be moving the camera around too much!…
…acks in the early evening. The gym facility is large and impressive at the hotel. I liked it a lot. Such a big hotel means that service is a bit off-hand and not especially warm and caring, but was efficient enough. I like staying here as it is great location, good sized rooms for New York, good facilities and the beds are really comfortable. It is also fairly well soundproofed. It is never going to be a hotel that delights and “blows your socks”…
…s wife and young daughter and disconnect from his 24-hour seven day a week Hotel Director job. I have met a lot of hotel directors on many ships and I found Marco unique. In addition to running the hotel operations of the ship, he has taken advantage of travelling the world to build a formidable portfolio and reputation in the world of photography. On most cruises he holds packed talks where he shares some of his images and generously shares the b…
…breakfast. They also created a Spa, which was not included in the original hotel. They hotel officially opened as JW Marriott South Beach on 15 December 2016. Wow Factor JW Marriott South Beach Singapore Ball Room There is a lot of “wow factor” across the interiors the hotel. The lobby has a vast screen at the main door that shows spectacular montages and artworks. The main reception area is the full length of the building and filled with eclectic…
…from the rooftop pool area there were great views across to the lake. The hotel was comfortable and functional. Palace Hotel Lake Garda The next morning Sara, the local Titan Guide who was staying with us at the hotel, took us to Sirmione which is on a peninsula jutting into the lake. It was a beautiful place. After a short walking tour into the gorgeous Old City we had free time to explore. I walked through the narrow streets to the area where t…
…food, and are a bit cheaper than The Cliff, but very nice. The “Sandy Lane Hotel” is probably the most famous of all the hotels, and the most expensive. It’s really worth going to visit. You need to dress smart, avoiding jeans. Try the L’acajou, restaurant which was stunning. It is worth just visiting Sandy Lane, and if you’re lucky you’ll see celebrities. Tides is another place that is very popular, and is near Holetown, which is incredibly popul…
…e very patchy history of ownership and success of the ship as a museum and hotel. It sounded like it has not really been that successful and came close to being scrapped…although as it has been declared a heritage site or something now it is protected. Even Disney, operated the hotel and attraction at one time. Disney took on the lease as part of a clever – if maybe naughty – attempt to play off Long Beach and Anaheim as the venue for the new Disn…
…o admire while working out! – free wireless internet access throughout the hotel. As a regular hotel stayer for work, I wish more hotels would do this! There is also a laptop in the lounge if you don’t bring your own. – turn down with yummy chocolate and a small scroll with next day’s weather and “this day in history”. My only thought would maybe it would be even better if it was more Cape Town focused with some more on history and facts and featu…
Tweet Hotel Intercontinental De La Ville in Rome, Room 543 Hotel Intercontinental De La Ville in Rome, Room 543 I wanted to like the Hotel Intercontinental De La Ville in Rome, but left with very mixed views. Not sure I would hurry back. Though I suspect that many tourists, especially those from outside of Europe would find it charming, historical and reeking if old European charm. For me, it was more an expensive, slightly dated and old-fashione…
