…shows up. It has current offers and deals, such as free pre- and post-trip hotel nights or seasonal discounts. It is worth checking these out, even if you prefer to book via a travel agent as part of your broader Canadian vacation, so you know what promotions you should discuss with them 8: What should you pack and wear? You can only take hand baggage on the train. The rest of your luggage is taken separately between the overnight hotels and deliv…
…To find them head to Clark Quay, Boat Quay, and Robinson Quay. #10 Raffles Hotel My last and final tip is Raffles. As I mentioned before it is named after Sir Thomas Raffles. It is a beautiful old colonial hotel. They have the amazing shops selling Singapore and Raffles branded souvenirs. You must visit the Raffles Bar and have a “Singapore Sling” which was invented by one of the barmen at Raffles. You are given peanuts which drinks, which you pod…
…rked, and you think that they would have at least have tried to ensure that the replacement worked. When booking, check you get a deal that has the valet parking and the breakfast included as they are expensive as extras. So overall it is a neat, up-market hotel that does a lot well but lacks some of the depth that other 5 star hotels offer. So close but just misses.

…ore 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 chain but also the…
…than the Nassau Inn in Princeton! Of course, I am slightly spoilt as most hotels I stay in are for work (around 8 nights a year) – and we tend to stay in nice hotels. I have had to stay in the Nassau Inn many times in the last 15 years. And I have never liked nor enjoyed it. I only stay here when I have to, like this trip when we are at a meeting being held all week here. The hotel feels run down and shabby from the outside and all through. It is…
…he hotel for 4 nights for a training meeting we were running. I loved this hotel. It has a stunning art deco look which is executed with style, flair and a great attention to detail.The entrance hall is large and impressive. The halls very long but quite breathtaking. The bedrooms have large comfortable beds, very funky bathrooms. Staff is helpful and friendly.The downside is that the hotel is not that convenient. It is a fairly long trek to the C…
…room to get a better nights sleep. Here is a video of a room at the Hilton Hotel. It is on the new part of the hotel and is an executive room. This is actually the room we stayed in last time, but the room we were in this time was exactly the same. In it I am being very pompous and stuck up after a horrible stay here last time in a very nasty room! We were in the check-in queue for our charter flight at 7.08 am. It is flight chartered by P&O and I…
